@Faithful_Cath Forgive them, they don't know what they do. I think it's basic evolution. Inconsistent reward actually incentives behaviour more than consistent reward. It's the instinct that makes us gamble. We're nice to women not because it gets us sex but because it SOMETIMES gets us sex.
@st_louis_stan "Honey, wear something nice we're going out tonight!"
*Drives to the nice restaurant she's been talking about*
"Wouldn't it be great to have dinner here?"
*Drives home*
"What? I said we're going out, I didn't want to have dinner."
@emilykmay Telling my wife about the big promotion I got at work and taking her window shopping pointing out items saying "I could buy that for you" but then not buying it.
Actually, when it's put like that I kinda want to do it.
@kaiviti_cam Simply wrong. Racism originally derives from a love of your own race, like how nationalism is a love of your nation or patriotism is a love of your fatherland.
Regurgitating leftist lies does you no favours.
@ZooNealand "Elon Musk turned X into a right wing hellhole"
But the ownership of Instagram never changed and I see far more Right wing content there all the time? Maybe the change isn't Elon's fault but a broader change in societies' views?
@warwick512@EarlFargofbu2a Yes, need to replace prison with corporal punishment for non-violent offenders. Why should a harmless guy waste 8 months in prison when he can simply get the cane and be released? Prison should be for repeat and dangerous offenders.
@RoyceWilsonAU@_wyec Frankly the finale is maudlin slop. I agree that the comedy is very good. But it's never a good sign when a comedy attempts the tear jerker. As ridiculed by Mitchell and Webb with their "Sod Cancer" sketch.

@EricCrampton@acteduweininger@ZogRespecter One migrant: 4 elderly dependants. What a ridiculous farce that reveals your post as entirely without merit. Migrants don't enrich our country, they only bring more migrants.

When ACT's candidate immigrated he reportedly brought his wife, her parents and his own parents with him under NZ parent pathway visas.
Bring in one migrant - get five more. It's a Ponzi scheme that will crash our economy in the same way it has done in the UK or Canada.
@KeeganLangeveld@nzfirst You're missing one: Should @nzfirst put NZ first?
NZ First had fantastic polling in the 90s when it spoke on immigration. Why is it avoiding the topic now?
