I’ve been visiting a few factories lately and was surprised how much of the work is just grinding. Grinding is one of those things you don’t really think about but a lot of your modern world relies on grinding stuff.

The touchscreen is a tool the body cannot learn. Every swipe, every tap, every pinch requires the eye to confirm what the finger is doing. The body cannot build a map of a surface that never changes. So the learning never finishes. The tool never disappears.

my take on speed cameras? unnecessary. it should simply be illegal to own a car that can go that fast. the speed should be increasingly reduced until it makes more sense to ride bicycles.

people comparing meta pervert glasses to google glasses... imo google glass was a lot more benign, it's obvious you are wearing them, awkward because are you using a device or talking to me? but meta glasses are for secretly filming you. pervert glasses rather than socially awkward glasses

Entirely setting aside the moral issues here… Rural services tend to be the primary vectors by which progressive people and ideas find their way into rural communities. Defunding rural services would remove those vectors, enabling conservative ruralites to hold back society even *harder*.

The one change that should be made is adding the words: New Zealand in front of English. The Oxford Dictionary of New Zealand English includes nearly 700 te reo words in common usage. And that number is growing every year.

if you only have a two party system, then to get change, informal factions must form within one of the established parties. If you don't like it, implement a proper multiparty system!

everyone being on one dumb website that could be instantly turned into a nazi machine is, partly, how we got into this mess. things were better when we posted on forums for things we had a genuine interest in. menswear, mmos, watches, perfumes, what have you. if you really loved posting you'd get it

but remember when you pay a protection racket (taxes), they actually *do* have to protect you. It might be easier and more reliable for these banks to just pay Ukraine not to attack them.
