Maybe we should.

No, that’s now. Look at what happened yesterday in L.A., for instance.

When the MAGAs MAGA so hard they accidentally wrap around to woke. \s

I mean, it sounds like the issue is pretty easily fixable, as they’re offering a DIY kit for it. It just seems like, if you’re handy, you could get both a usable AC and a refund.

Individuals who want a refund will need to send the unit back to Midea with a free shipping label or submit a photograph showing that they cut the unit’s unplugged power cord.

Wait, so does that mean anybody willing to splice wires back together (and DIY a fix for the drain issue) gets a free AC unit?

They had years of evidence of previous hate crimes.

Hell, the only reason they were at the place to begin with was to check the mail at the ashes of their previous house that had been burned down by a gay-hating arsonist.

Exactly. If every ad-dependent website went offline tomorrow and all we were left with was Wikipedia, PeerTube, government/academia sites and a bunch of Geocities-esque “labor of love” hobbyist pages, nothing of value would be lost.

My uBlock Origin has been working fine on my Linux desktop running Firefox.

uBlock Origin Lite on my Chromebook, on the other hand, has gotten the “Ad blockers are prohibited” popup a couple of times.

My goddamn family doing that to me in suits would scare me.

Sure, if you’re willfully ignoring context. These were legislators wearing suits doing it in parliament to make a political point, not armed warriors doing it on a battlefield. The only ‘fear’ was entirely dishonest and performative, not real.

To be clear, I’m only criticizing the Minnesota Reformer for running that headline in the first place, not you for copying it. You did nothing wrong; you were just following rule 4 as required.

I just feel that how issues are framed is important, and refuse to accept the headline’s implication of legitimacy.

Hey Minnesota Reformer editor, gestapo following illegal executive orders isn’t “law enforcement.”

If you have 1 seat you have political power.

Well, until you conveniently get the longest suspension in history right as parliament is about to decide the budget, anyway.

I don’t understand; how is that relevant in any way to this discussion about the haka? Please explain specifically.

Do you believe that every party in every parliament in the world should be able to just stop parliament from working instead of trying to actually vote for laws/bills the way they think is right because they are sure that they are right and their voice aren’t being heard (even if they are minority in the said parliament or don’t have quorum)?

My legislative body has the filibuster and I think it has a useful function, so yes!

BTW, there’s no good reason whatsoever the NZ parliament couldn’t have resumed business after the haka. None at all.

The only reason they didn’t was because the leadership decided to feign performative fear and end the session in order to manufacture an excuse to punish the native legislators and exclude them from influencing the budget.

That’s not what’s happening here. The comments are like that from the beginning, not being edited to that state.
