@Matador_X6 @FoxfordComics Yeah, Australia is fairly settled at this point. Unrelated question: is it a thing in your culture to end sentences with two full stops, or is it a personal flair?

@aelexe @FoxfordComics So.. Murders and rapists were sent.. That's settled then..

Always hilarious to me that China and India didn't even know this massive continent in their backyard. And then some English dude from the other side of the world just came along and yoinked it.

@Matador_X6 @FoxfordComics Less than 5% of all convicts sent during the entire colonisation were guilty of a serious violent crime or worse. That's not quite shipping "all our murders, rapists", but regardless they did an excellent job with the land compared to what the natives accomplished in 50k+ years.

@aelexe @FoxfordComics Murders and rapists were sent.. Besides, sending THIEVES, who ultimately STOLE that land is not something to brag about..

@Matador_X6 @FoxfordComics Did you read either of those articles? The overwhelming majority of convicts sent to Australia were guilty of minor crimes. The second article is specifically about political prisoners. Under the Bloody Code, murderers and rapists generally met the noose.

@aelexe @FoxfordComics Learn some history..

@Matador_X6 @FoxfordComics We didn't ship our murderers and rapists there. We still had the sense to execute them back then.

@FoxfordComics China was aware.. Unlike Europeans, however, their 1st thought when they saw it was not.. "Hmmmmmm.. This looks like a great place to ship all our murders, rapists, and thieves! Let's colonize it and kill everyone living there to make that happen".. 💡

@ulansahulyo China traded with Australia prior to colonisation, when it was inhabited solely by the aboriginal people? The same China with a rich history of dynasties defined by conquest?

@Liquid_Times And how many of those top issues does immigration impact?

People talk about Winnie becoming PM, but the issues he's obsessed with aren't a big concern for everyday Kiwis. The possibility is always there, but he'd need to shift from being a cultural popular to an economic populist. Also, whether he wants to be PM is a whole other issue.

@JosephMooneyMP @real_lord_miles @ZoomerHistorian How does a photo of nature discredit the terrible decline of our country? You can take similarly beautiful photos the world over.

I’m conscious of the aphorism that arguing with a fool makes two, but this was literally the view I had of the “terrible decline” of New Zealand when I stepped outdoors yesterday. I don’t know about England (I’m guessing that’s your piece of paradise), but I’ll take my homeland any day.

@actparty Why stop at serious offenders? Why not all offenders? If you come here as a guest you should act like a guest.

ACT’s immigration policy restores the basic bargain that New Zealand was built on. People are welcome here if they contribute, respect our democratic values, and help build the country.

@Strifuhn My theory was that Teldrassil sapped up an immense amount of azerite and the Horde attack in a pre-emptive strike, not trusting their historic enemies to not take the opportunity to wipe them out, accidentally setting the entire tree on fire in the process. I was disappointed.

The discourse around Zul'jans fate reminds me of the time before the 'War of Thorns' patch released and players still didn't know who or what would cause the burning of Teldrassil. But almost everyone said the same thing: "It can't just be Sylvanas right?" "Surely Blizzard isn't gonna have the Horde be the main instigators of a war again, RIGHT?" And then Blizzard did the exact thing that people said they wouldn't do because it was just too 'predictable'. Zul'jan and troll enjoyers definitely have reason to worry ...

@RestoreBritain_ For what they did to Doctor Who alone they should be declared an enemy of Britain, and I don't even watch Doctor Who.

The BBC is attacking Restore Britain, again. For the avoidance of any doubt - a Restore Britain Government would defund the rotting BBC and let it collapse under its own arrogance.

@Typerighting Never thought I'd look back on the content drought of WoD with such fondness.

I really think Legion was the beginning of the end, man Everything bad about almost every expansion afterwards starts with Legion WoD, MoP, WotLK, Cata, TBC, you can rest.

@NZNationalParty Why don't you improve the pay and working conditions so that we can have the roles critical to the functioning of New Zealand filled by New Zealanders instead? You are further sowing a never ending blight upon our country.

There’s been a lot of misinformation about immigration under the new Free Trade Agreement with India. Much of what’s being said is spin rather than substance. Here’s the facts. This FTA does not open the floodgates on immigration. It allows around 1,700 temporary three‑year work visas per year - less than 3% of all work visas. And they can’t be renewed. Total numbers are capped so there can’t be more than 5,000 at any one time. The temporary work visa is targeted at skills New Zealand already needs - like doctors, nurses, teachers, ICT and engineers. These are roles that help keep hospitals staffed, classrooms open, and businesses productive. Claims about family migration are simply wrong. The FTA does not grant automatic rights for family members to enter, work or study in New Zealand. There is no back‑door pathway. The FTA is about lifting incomes for Kiwis, not importing labour from India. It means we can sell more of what we are good at to 1.4 billion people. It’s about bringing money into local communities, and helping Kiwis get ahead.

@nzstargazer @EerykMcRae Neither a citizenship certificate nor a passport will refute the evidence offered by my eyes and ears (and if I'm unlucky, nose).

@EerykMcRae Welcome to Auckland, where you’ll find thousands of such kids. They’re all Kiwis and they’ll all be voting in a couple of years.

"According to your nationalistic ideals, only one of them is a Kiwi?" Yes.

@tyl0saur You see the dog dick, while quite literal, is also a metaphor.

when u say u dont like something people say u lack media literacy as if it takes some megabrain to understand The Boys

@lacrymaballs @Messenjoyer Depending on your definition of ages. As far as I'm aware the first gay characters were only introduced (or revealed as gay) in BFA.

@Messenjoyer Lmfao tourist detected. Pride was in WoW for ages. Gtfo back to reddit lol.

Good lord how are these snowflake people real “EVEN IN GROUPS OF FOUR”

@S13E06 How many minutes does an episode need to dedicate to a dog humping a crusty rag for it to qualify as filler?

Anyone who thinks the last ep of the boys was filler has the attention span and media literacy of a coco melon baby

@Timcast Hiring processes are for blue buttons. Red buttons are self-employed.

Red and blue button moral dillema is now a hiring question If you pick red youre not getting hired

@Ayiba_Benedict I highly trust society to not press the potentially kill self button.

Mr Red/Blue Button, I want off your wild ethical dilemma.
