  2. Whenever any stranger compliments me, when I'm fully masked up - I tell them, only true cool people mask up without being told to do so. You can be cool like me too. Start with wearing a mask.
    I use visual privileges, because most humans judge others visually first, to say things that strangers don't expect to come out of my mouth.

  3. Another grilling for Quilae Wong and the Opportunity, this time from Mihingarangi Forbes;

    A good interview for those who question whether Opportunity can really be described as "progressive".

  4. Another poll released, and once again, Opportunity is above 5%;

    A week is a long time in politics, as they say, and there's still 2 months until Polling Day. There's always the possibility something could completely undermine Opportunity's support before then. But based on the consistent trend across all polling companies, going back to mid-June, they will be in the next Parliament.

  5. RE: mastodon.nzoss.nz/@strypey/117

    Apparently Jack Tame's Q+A interview with Opportunity leader Qiulae Wong is getting a lot of mileage on social media ('TOP leader DESTROYED by Jack Tame' sort of stuff). Since I've posted some fairly sympathetic comments on them here - including fact-checking claims based on a clip from it - I thought it's only fair that I check out the full interview;

  6. A quotation from Carlyle

    The tragedy of life is not so much what men suffer, but rather what they miss.

    Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
    (Attributed)

    (Much) more about this quote: wist.info/carlyle-thomas/719/

  7. Ok, people have challenged my suggestion that the Opportunity party might be worth a vote in 2026. Good! I welcome well-argued scrutiny of my ideas, enjoy learning new things, and sometimes even change my mind in response.

    The question is, how can we tell if they're as progressive as their policy announcements suggest? Well, what about asking them which of the policies passed by NatACT First they'd insist on reversing, whoever they joined in government?

  8. @vfrmedia @wood5y My point is there is an #opportunity #cost to this, & the #MetPolice are not THAT "flush with #resources". Every #black person they're harassing on the streets, & every #pensioner they're #arresting for supporting #PalestineAction & opposing #Israeli #genocide in #Gaza is a #burglar or #mugger they're NOT arresting. They devote far too much time, effort & money policing #protest, simply because the #Government & the #politicians don't like it.

    The fun of #SX is that you don't have to learn it, nor do you have to get it taught to you.

    Like chess you should #experience it to gain #experience, and you do that by meeting other #people and #practice it. By #SocialExperience with your friends and peers in the chess world #SocialGraph. Weaving #SocialFabric where you can be playful, creative and do experiments, engage in #challenges. This keeps one intrinsically #motivated to stay into the #game. Learn more. Enter a virtuous ⭕ circle of rewarding #exercises.

    And perhaps one day. Suddenly and unexpected, #opportunity finds you to play against #MagnusCarlsen. And WIN!

    The important thing is: You need not have any *expectation* for that. And most people shouldn't, as it is boils down to 'hanging yourself up to a Vision' if you simply don't possess the 'chess genius gene'. Most people don't.

    However you can still #Dream about beating Magnus one day to have fun at every level of your progression path to mastery.

  10. I don't know for sure but I think I just lost a #friend over being too #forgiving in the moment.

    Sorry not sorry. I don't stand for what I can't #become as such.

    I do what I can to #embrace all #people who #appreciate who I am. It's all I can do, and if that #means my #contribution towards #friendships isn't meant to #last then so #be it. But if it does, they're really #rare and I #cherish them because they're very easy to #lose over #something you thought you could #understand at the time.

    I'll #say this.

    All #echo #chambers are the #primary #reason as to why a #friendship falls apart. Because I've seen this #effect everyone to the point of no #return possible, and honestly...you can't get along with people who spend more of their #time invested into something other than what you are doing with that person together. And I don't think I'm alone in wishing that at times, such an #investment cultivates #familiarity over #routine on a continuous basis.

    But you know what? I still appreciate the chance to #care for all it is #worth as such. I do my best to live #life with no #regrets to count on #growing without me there to #manage them.

    It's my own #fault for putting a bit of my #soul into everything I do alongside my #heart and #mind accordingly. And as afar as I #know there's no #changing that, at least in a very easy way.

    If you ever truly #need #friends by your side, you'll know whether they're people you can #count on or not, by the way they #treat your #ambitions as an #individual person.

    You can still #respect someone if they do not #acknowledge that you have any. But the chances of you becoming #close, are not as great.

    With that being said, you do not need to #support the same #ambition someone else does, in order to be friends. You just need to set your #ego aside so that such a person can fulfill their #desire the best way they know how to.

    That's what I do, and I carry a lot of #weight because of it. All of the #memories set aside because the soul wasn't ready to let go of the ones #entrapping their #conscious #focus throughout seemingly more #important issues outside of my #control in all of the #moments they last.

    Putting my best #self forward, means respecting that and not forcing the #matter at hand. It doesn't make that #feeling go away, born of lost #opportunity at the #core of #potential #reciprocity as such.

    But yes #indeed I know #hope is not so easily broken by #fragile #futility alone. Which is why I continue to #forgive but not #forget all of the ways life makes a different #path #unfold into #being by the #presence of #purpose for everyone.
