Two of my most used apps but @libbyapp.com is creating waves. They're finally adding some verification to the app and Auckland Libraries are swamped. It's years since I've laid eyes on my card and I've moved house so I'm guessing it's gone. The library had dropped my email address 🤷‍♀️

In New Zealand, thieves steal diesel from farms and businesses when the cost goes up. Trump's “excursion” is driving crime rates up!

Rode up to a common meeting spot in Auckland. Another group was gathering but none of mine had arrived yet. Bloke wanders over and tells me I need a louder exhaust. I tell him I'm not an asshole. He left me alone after that!

Would you describe pigeons as an iconic NYC sight? If I ever risk spending thousands on a 21-hour flight to NY (which I hope will be possible again one day) I will not be treating pigeons as a key tourist experience.

$5000 would be nice when starting your family but as an incentive to have more children than you originally planned? Hell no! That works out at less than a dollar a day and won't make any real difference to the recipients. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Doing tourist things today. Overheard a woman loudly telling everyone that she was from LA. I was shocked. I wouldn't want people knowing that about me looking askance. Shouldn't she be at home fighting for her country and not swanning around Europe?

I've been busy but I don't see anyone talking about the economic impact on the US of Europe turning their backs on: - Visa & Mastercard - Apple & Microsoft - Google & AWS cloud storage Is the US worried about the economic ramifications? Are companies outside the US stepping up to fill the void?

I'm in France, and yes it's bloody hot! But rather than ask people if they'll get aircon maybe the on-the-street reporters should be asking about attitudes to climate change? France could teach NZ a thing or two about cycling. It's impressive everywhere we go. I've never seen so many cargo bikes!

I had a doggo visiting over the weekend. I've known him since he was a pup tho I don't see him that often these days. Sitting at a cafe he lunged at an older man & nipped him. The man took his registration but didn't show us the “gash”. Discovered that he'd been kicked by an older man once.

I rode through Ponsonby yesterday and saw the public meeting. Then watched the news and saw it was pro-Trump. Pro the people saying they're going to kill all Iranians. I hope, for their sake, that they're right but I cant see this ending well.

The husband Took pity on some German overlanders & invited them to stay for TWO nights. After NINE days they may be leaving tomorrow. The woman is lovely, the preschooler is a delight, the newborn is actually pretty good. The man though, he inspires colourful language.

Post title: help me come up with a list of questions to ensure someone is not a Trump supporter.

soloracer •
Just not worth the effort. Why entertain this nonsense at all?

itamer •
What's the alternative? Date for months before they let the mask drop?

kenne12343 •
The alternative is to let it go and actually quit crying about political beliefs it's not a big deal.
Why do you care or anyone care what political party you are in that is so dumb.

itamer •
That's certainly the position you can take in some countries but in others it isn't. Support for a particular party might mean that person disrespects your family and friends and might actively wish them harm.
For instance women in the US are being stripped of bodily autonomy, immigrants being hounded by ICE, etc.
I'm not even a resident of that country

I'm not even a resident of that country but | have friends there that I fear for - legal immigrants with businesses and homes.
Women and girls.

kenne12343 •
Well it's not my fault you realize one vote doesn't really matter. I don't know what's going on but I do not know once the orange man is done if it will recover I never argued that the USA isn't suffering.
However let's not get off topic if you don't want to date someone because they voted for someone you don't like that sounds petty to me and I am not defending any party no one party is better than the other is my point.
I bought a house at the beginning of dumpys election. I am living perfectly fine I don't care about politics and when I express that let's say for example I don't vote but I vote locally why do others wanna fight about it doesn't make much sense

I bought a house at the beginning of dumpys election. I am living perfectly fine l don't care about politics and when I express that let's say for example I don't vote but I vote locally why do others wanna fight about it doesn't make much sense.
The real key issue is calling someone a trump supporter because they didn't vote that's very petty and yes there is major issues going on but let's not pretend there was other issues going on and no I don't really follow it and this is not what America's core values are.
My point is when you date why should you care about politics that sounds dumb and it's pointless you should be caring about a loving relationship rather than some things we can't change.
When dumpy is gone 3 years from now it will probably recover hopefully people who were wronged will have justice too I didn't say they shouldn't. But I'm saying politics should stay out of relationships.
