Jacinda Ardern said today that people struggling with rising petrol prices should solve their issue by buying electric cars. In related news, homeless people should also just buy houses so they arenโt homeless any longer. Thanks for the tips, Marie Antoinette.

So stopping for 15 minutes is ok, stopping for 1 hour is not.
But I never got answered the burning question I wanted to ask... is it ok to stop for 16 minutes????

Sounds like you're already getting "reparations"
Your people are paying nearly the least in taxes, yet getting the most paid out by the state to you.
Starting from a neutral position, this appears at first to be incredibly unfair???

This is such a bad take, because not getting a reward for non-achievement doesn't equal "punishment"
Is the person who gets 4th place in a race being "punished" for not getting a medal?
A person who didn't do their homework and doesn't get a pass, is that "punishment"?
No

Is a reasonable question for Winston to be raising, if Maori only arrived in 2 or 3 centuries earlier than Europeans did, which was long enough for them to be "indigenous", then at what point in time do I become "indigenous" too?

I absolutely loathe most people's arguments against canonical accuracy in fiction. The fact that a story is made up actually means that the clear establishment of rules and consistency across characters and events is even *more* important than in non-fiction.

False, he was not. He was still defying orders and resisting arrest, while the police office was currently then all alone and massively outnumbered with a fight that had spiraled out of control.

When will you admit that your soft on crime approach and your wish to abolish prisons is what resulted in this tragedy in your electorate?
Let's not forget, "Palestine" has never ever existed as a country. It's at best a region one of the colonizers (Romans) gave as the name for where Jews lived.
And Arabs are merely the latest invading colonizers of the Jewish homeland.
So what's the story behind this map that's been circulating online for years and pops up every time there's a debate about
#Israel
and
#Palestine
?
Is it telling the truth?
Is it fake?
Let's uncover the real story: ๐

Why? Because that's the only way for fiction to have a shot at being immersive and believable.
The effectiveness of a fictional story - especially in fantasy or sci-fi genres - is predicated on the author's ability to elicit verisimilitude.
