Some of the recent climate change articles are getting rather nutty. They are talking about BBQ and gas cooking as if it was a bad thing, and in an article about housing, one author claimed that climate change would alter the housing market, by destroying houses in floods. They cannot go five minutes without injecting their climate change theory into everything.
This is a New Zealand instance and the video that I shared is related to issues of public interest that are highly important for New Zealanders.
My website stats are not that great even after all my effort. I'm glad I gave it a go and set an example, because some people supported me. One guy shouted out to me "bro you're right, landlords ARE parasites". So, most people don't say it out loud, but there are people who agree with me. I was between the university and Ilam New World writing with my chalk, and a group of students walked past. One girl just said "FACTS". They got the message :)
Most New Zealanders are neither here nor there, they just wander aimlessly through life with a passive attitude like NPCs in a computer game. I'm not trying to win over those who are entirely passive "go with the flow, yeah nah bro" kinds of fools. If a few good people saw my chalk and laughed, then it was worth it. I don't care about the unwashed masses who are willing to accept any amount of abuse from landlords or the government. The type of person who rents, but is indifferent to my cause, I ignore them. These people will be the first to line up at the edge of a trench and take a bullet to the back of the head, willingly, if there was an authoritarian government. I'm the person who has to be assassinated or black-bagged first thing because I'm the person who agitates the second tier.
Put it like this:
web forums are awesome though, it beats the hell out of discord or whatever gen z is obsessed with.
not my problem that kiwis are so quiet and passive and don't post.
It fails to upload as a comment and I'm not going to resize every single file (assuming that's the issue). Sorry if you're on mobile and don't have a real computer.
Open the URL, I self-hosted a zip file with 9 photos so you don't have to visit a website that's filled with ads.

I wrote in 20 locations around riccarton and ilam. Most of my chalk was on riccarton road or perhaps 50 metres into a side street.
Please share this file.
I'd agree to teach programming and maths for the minimum wage if they'd let me, but there's probably some BS requirement like needing a degree or having to pass a police check. The only thing I've done wrong is have the wrong thoughts about the government, that's not even a criminal record. They only want brain-dead degree wielders to teach. If you have any anti-government views and don't have a degree, might as well stay on the benefit. They don't like people who engage in wrong-think, even if it's in their own time. The failed education system is by design, and only a fool would think that Luxon and/or more funding will fix it. The education system is rotten to the core. It needs a complete re-work.
Yeah maybe VB isn't so bad, it was the lack of inspiration from teachers and lack of role models and advice that ruined it for me.
You couldn't make me go there just for the money. No way am I going to study 3 years just to become a teacher, when I can teach in a world class city like Moscow with only a minor qualification that takes 1 month to get.
Read the Fight Club book if you haven't.
That last part is the real deal here. Somewhere I have an old screen-shot from Trade Me Forum where a guy said he quit teaching because they basically thought he was a pedo or something like that. As a male, you can't dare be too friendly or jokey with any student, male or female, or you'll have to go through some sexual predator prevention programme or something. It will only get worse, and eventually they will roll out this "woke" training nonsense into every profession. Women control all the cosy office jobs and it's always women in HR who push the anti-male crap.
I just looked for work on Seek and Trade Me and there's maybe 2 jobs suitable for me, assuming the hours are reasonable. I'd rather die in a ditch in Ukraine than live in a backwater country like NZ. Nobody should pretend we are first world. Look at the poverty here, and the downtrodden fools who work in supermarkets, hardware stores and distribution centres. Being a wigger, acting tough and boasting about made up stories makes you top dog in some industries. NZ is a backwater country and it will never develop into anything that resembles a decent country. In 10 years from now I'll still be complaining about crappy over-priced rental bedrooms, and jobs that chew through staff every month.
I've been looking for some old films to watch online and I'm looking at
Those last two inspired parts of the video game series, Metal Gear Solid. In Metal Gear Solid 3, a lot of films get mentioned by characters throughout the game.
On The Beach is one I heard about because Alex Jones was talking about nuclear war earlier this year, and he showed a scene from that particular film. There's a newer version of On The Beach but I'd always go for the original, or better, read the novel it's based on.
Recently I watched 2 old Soviet films
Some links
The Guns Of Navarone (this one costs $ on YouTube)
Only 'Old Men' Are Going To Battle, black and white version
Only 'Old Men' Are Going To Battle, colourised in 2009
It's disappointing that many films are 48 hour DRM'd and cost $4 or $6 despite not being restored
but...

w00t!
Got to get me some novels too.
When I was a gullible teenager I would have sided with the WWF, but since I'm an adult now, I realise it's a lobby group with an agenda, and they are just fear-mongering.
