All good. Always good to clear up any confusion.

I see.

No, I was pointing out that a corrupt person, in the process of being investigated for said corrupt practices, reveals still more corruption.

I predict that even more shit will flow out of this corruption orifice.

Huh?

Shocking: someone being investigated for corrupt practices, has more corrupt practices surface as part of the investigation.

Well the front is not supposed to fall off.

Now imagine they’ve got stocky muscles, spikes, and they want to kill you.

You mean like a pissed off 3yo when you are trying to trim their finger nails.

This situation is weird. 6 1/2 year relationship, but have separate houses? Look after “her” dogs.

Feels like they were both keeping their options open in case it didn’t work out…I’m thinking both sides here are commitment phobic; it is surprising that it lasted so long…but also taking someone to the tribunal for this is weird.

Missing detail on the reason he didn’t pick her up, means it is hard to know how weird. If it was he was hung over after a night out vs got in an accident and was in hospital…

It is quite different.

As least here in NZ, ketchup has a vinegary component to the taste, tomato sauce is more sweet.

What enemies?

Not sure if you are referencing Conan or Khan…

Of those particular 3…a good mustard I guess. I don’t really use any of them.

Soy sauce

Chilli oil

Tomato sauce (fish and chips)

Well played

This is not law.

This is a mandatory course directed from the REAA:

In 2023 the Real Estate Agents Authority directed all real estate agents to undertake a course called Te Kākano - which was designed in partnership with Whakatāne-based tertiary institute Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi.

To play devil’s advocate here.

I find these type of courses less than useless, for those already bigoted all they do is increase resentment. For those that are inclined to listen the the message that is trying to be conveyed…they are almost certainly already thinking about others in a constructive manner.

Having this being promoted and encouraged, but voluntary would work better.

In saying the above, this person is clearly an idiot, sitting through a 90 minute course and having something to complain to your friends about later, has to be preferable to jeopardizing your license for 5 years. Also as soon as I saw “woke madness” I knew this wasn’t about logic and thoughtful argument.

A good test in these situations is to substitute the thing for a similar thing. If we substitute the “Te Triti” training course with, “The Koran”, “The Bible” or even “the Chinese migrant world view”. Does the feeling of “rightness” change, it does for me.

Changing the attitude toward Maori and Te Triti is the work of generations, hell we spent generations instilling the shitty culture we have now. There are some usually older people (though not exclusively) who will never change their backward views.

The cynic in me also says, what is the point of these types of courses, they have little relevance to the industry. Are there cultural sensitivity courses for the Indian world view? if you are constantly working in those communities you may want to seek out that info to better understand your customer.

Oppo has very aggressive battery management.

While I was using one, had to manually turn off battery management for syncthing, and check after major updates…

But worked flawlessly once that issue was solved.

Little red riding hood - wolf eats your grandma.
Hansel and Gretel - forced out by stepmother, forced to kill a witch to survive.
Three little pigs - wolf kills your brother’s.

The “classics” are really bad

You may have a specific deficiency, but your story does not constitute data.

There have been many studies that have addressed this specific issue. Literally billions of dollars are wasted every year on these supplements. If you have a healthy diet, you are very unlikely to need supplementation.

This is the availability bias, because your experience is normal for you, you unconsciously think your experience is more normal than it is.

Nice

It is a marathon not a sprint, every step counts. Just because this isn’t already perfect doesn’t mean that it is unimportant.
