Please don't ever play D&D with real people

These are elected officials?

Rearrange My Brain

They hand washed it. The chemicals are probably just drying out.

Nope. Maori deserve release from this nonsense too.

Also, lol at the very native, very traditional "koronahaiea ceremony". What a very coincidental word for it! About as Maori as, well, half the Kiwis claiming to be Maori actually.

I mean these were quite literally nomadic cow-herding tribes acting independently and frequently fighting each other even across the sea so "imperial" is a bit rich.

Probably a much better comparison to the Vikings who did something similar: individual gangs raided British coastlines and then eventually began to settle there. Except the Gaels/Scotii did it during Roman times, the Vikings later.

Both are Irish. Ó means "of" or "from", and sometimes is interpreted as a looser association with a clann (family).

Scottish is Irish. Gaelic peoples settled Western Scotland from Ireland. Literally the word "Scot" used to mean "Irish".

Getting diagnosed, medicated and seeing an occupational therapist

I need you to tell me that you understand that cancer is a bigger existential threat than China. You understand that right? You know even one single woman?

How does more people understanding breast cancer threaten existence?!

Pay a dude

People don't seem to notice how we've stopped paying dudes. Now that we've stopped paying dudes, is anything cheaper?

Organizers estimated

Apart from this, the issue is also that that's not that many and it was very clearly controlled opposition. Most events even in big cities were smaller than the attendance of a high profile sports match. Much fewer than you might find at a music festival. Combine that with the compliance with pathetic protesting rules and utter lack of outcome, what exactly do you think was going to be publicised? Literally 10 times the largest No Kings protest attended a Lady Gaga concert a month earlier.

Spending six weeks trying to organise 2000 simultaneous protests, with an average attendance of 2,500 people at each, while Trump spent that six weeks absolutely ravaging the US democratic system, is the most US Democrat nothingness possible.
