I think that our numbers would look pretty good. There's just the Muslim knife attack at the supermarket a few years ago and the occasional case of an Asian killing another Asian and stuffing the body into a suitcase. On the other hand, every few months in the UK or Europe somebody is stabbed by an immigrant or ran over in an ISIS inspired vehicle attack. In New Zealand we don't seem to have these issues. I'm more worried about being killed by a drunk driver.

Trump's reaction to this shooting is understandable. The American wars have an unusual feature - we bomb people and make them hate us, and then we invite them to live with us in our countries. This is obviously a huge mistake. These Afghans work for the CIA and special forces then massacre their 'employers' at the least predictable moment. A common feature of the occupation which is often forgotten.

And it shows! Every time I visit reddit there's somebody posting about their loneliness problems. Seems like discord, full of teenagers.

Reddit sucks and in the past I've hosted my own websites, so I'm aware of how much better an independent service can be. I'm sick of slow international websites. We need more websites hosted in New Zealand - then I don't get 400ms latency when I click.

It's good to have specifics to work towards but sometimes I feel like everyone is trying to create the same kind of video with the exact same intonation.

On YouTube a person can get 300,000 views on a video but then nobody subscribes - subsequent videos only get a few thousand views. That's why I believe it's important to have a community surrounding a channel, maybe if it's political activism it can be promoted with flyers. That's how I imagine doing this, I'd need to reach new people face-to-face and actually be a person who talks about interesting stuff. Not just someone who's online who develops a random audience of people from various countries - that's what I want to avoid. There should be a core audience, ideally a local audience since I live on a tiny island.

Nothing wrong with marketing 101 of course - I tend to ramble! So obviously having a script and editing a video is something I need to work on.

I really admire the long interviews on Rumble by people like Glenn Greenwald. I really don't know his reputation but some of his talks are just fascinating to me. It's a totally different experience to the cheesy-smiley youtubers! Perhaps there's some good stuff on BitChute and Odysee too and I just haven't looked at it for ages. The creativity is better outside of YouTube.

I don't care about your stupid reports. I post nazi stuff that doesn't make me a nazi though, I just bought a large russian flag to give an F.U. to the fascists in eastern europe.

I won't lose my mind, but I'll start using Rumble more. I subscribed to Rumble instead of YouTube, found that I enjoyed it more, and every time I want to share a video of something I'll try to share the Rumble version.

I don't own one, I've just leased one from Zilch.nz and I think it's a great car. Put it on sports mode and set regen braking to level 2 and it's perfect. My brother has a Tesla and he says he doesn't like the Ioniq, but I didn't ask for his reasons 🤔

Ioniq just looks like a normal car whereas Tesla tries to look cool.
