Thank you for using the same number of significant digits.

Every Captain Planet villain.

Everyone bagged it saying they're just poorly written characters.

Nope, they were just decades ahead of their time.

I'm always amazed at the composition of these kinds of art.

Exactly. Our right don't actualy have any plan beyond enriching themselves.

At least our left says "perhaps people should be paid wages".

It's the cost to society, I.e. the public health cost to treat people with problems caused by these things, probably includes the loss of GDP from those who can Bollinger work.

It's right there in the text your quoted.

On relieving cost of living pressures, National's commanding 23-point lead before the election has swung to a 16-point deficit. Just 31% of voters now trust National most on this issue, down from 48% in August 2023, while Labour has surged from 25% to 47%.

Hardly surprising. Cost of living isn't something a politician can hide: it hits people's wallets directly.

Also, of the large volume of news covering what the government is doing, it's mostly been bullshit that doesn't affect most people as directly or as obviously: treaty principles (thats just the Murrays), speed limits (on other peoples' roads), NCEA renaming, etc.

Fight is almost always the last resort as it's the most energy expensive option.

One has to be taught to prioritize fight over the others: hence soldiers needing training.

Then again, I'm reasonably sure there's some kind of G21N gene present in at least one country's population that buggers that up.

Good point. I thought I was missing something obvious but couldn't figure out what it was

Sure, crying when hungry, talking, trying to crawl and walk... stuff like that.

Beating the shit out of people for fun is most definitely a learned behavior.

They start life as a completely blank state, everything is a learned behavior.

So yes, infants are innocent. As soon as there is learned behavior, that goes out the window.

things the government doesn’t like.

Only likely to happen from one particular side of the aisle.

Most of our public services are reasonably independent of the government, for now at least.

I imagine the BSA is quite careful walking the censorship line... censorship is expensive, they are unlikely to ever have the budget for it.

It's an interesting point that the BSA is making, the legislation does not specify what broadcasting is, though when it was written that was just radio and TV.

Their argument is that the medium does not restrict their authority to exclude 'casting over internet protocol.

This hatemonger is just having a tanty about consequences for his hate.
