Not content with recommending that I add mutuals as friends, Facebook is now just throwing up other random middle-aged white people like "Hey how about this guy? He also looks like he enjoys 90s rock and is in need of a mole check."

As a lifelong JAFA in good standing, I'd just like to confirm that there is not, nor has there ever been, anything "iconic" about Monsoon Poon. It's a racist anachronism and continued source of embarrassment, even in a city as consistently embarrassing as Auckland. Good riddance.

Empowering any untrained idiot with a law and order fetish to LARP as a police officer in their spare time and use their own interpretation of a concept as nebulous as "reasonable force" to deal with anyone they believe is committing a crime? What could possibly go wrong.

Anyone believing that queer folks could indoctrinate kids or that including the reality that queer folks exist in educational material will turn kids gay has never taught a damn kid a damn thing in their entire damn lives except possibly not to see them as a safe person to be around, or talk to.

Destiny Church is a terrorist cult. Exactly what line do they have to cross before the government intervenes?

"We want you to bring your authentic self to work" Really? You want me to bring a far-left misanthrope who thinks we should tax the wealthy into oblivion and that corporate culture is a plague on society into this financial services company? And I can wear shorts and an Outkast t-shirt?

There are other reasons to avoid buying Tesla cars, but claiming that that Elon Musk's appalling bigotry and unhinged behaviour isn't a significant factor is hopelessly obtuse. I can barely keep track of the businesses I won't give money to on ethical grounds - often for way more petty reasons.
