Some older online games have pretty good latency tolerance because they were built in an era before broadband was widely available.

Vanilla World of Warcraft, for example, has a ‘spell batching’ mechanic that helps to equalise things somewhat. You’ll need to play on a private server though because Blizz changed spell batching in Classic.

For web browsing? No.

Well, with their track record…

For a while there I thought “moved to Belarus” was going to become the new “fell from a window”, but I guess they’ve decided to stick with tradition.

In my experience, influencers are people who:

• destroy natural monuments and works of art for attention
• play cruel pranks on others for attention
• present a completely false image of themselves and their lives
• constantly demand special treatment while offering nothing in return

And about a million other things I can’t think of right now.

In short, they’re among the most awful people around. You really don’t need a more insulting term.

Worse. It’s “attempting to understand this might cause me to question my faith, so I’m not going to even try.”

Did they specify the days were sequential?

So much to unpick here, and so little inclination to bother. Like many with ADHD, I’m sick of dealing with the constant disinformation and toxic positivity that surrounds this condition - and which you’re contributing to.

If you think ADHD is about attention, then you really still don’t get it. Go and watch Dr Russell Barkley’s videos on YouTube. There’s a seminar about 2.5 hours long that is well worth the time.

That you don’t understand ADHD.

I like “Executive Function Disorder” as it actually describes the underlying issue and not just the symptoms that other people can see.

You clearly don’t understand ADHD.

Federated?

Yep, that’s what it is.

The ten second version is that New Zealand has a rather unique situation in that the country is founded on a treaty between the indigenous people and the British Crown, rather than just straight invasion. Due to - among other things - translation issues, as well as some pretty egregious breaches of said treaty by the Crown, there are major disagreements over the extent to which Māori ceded their sovereignty, if at all.

It’s a complicated situation with no perfect outcome possible. By and large, Māori have been entirely reasonable and conciliatory in seeking redress for historical wrongs and restoration (where possible) of elements of their self-sovereignty. But it’s an uphill battle with heavy opposition, from a loud minority of thinly-masked racists, of any attempt to give them any real say in the governance of the country.

I thought there was evidence they were trying an emergency ascent, so possibly they had some warning of the impending implosion.

All because I want the law to be gender neutral? Wow.

Heaven forbid anyone care about real world injustices that rape victims have suffered because the law doesn’t recognise them.

I think you should take a good hard look at yourself and reflect on your statement, to be honest.

No that’s pretty much exactly what you’re saying.

Oh don’t hold back. Let’s hear your valuable insights!

Great, as long as it’s written (and applied) in a gender neutral fashion.
