@Catvalente@wandering.shop In Māori Mythology, Hine-nui-te-Pō is The Great Woman of the Night, and guides the spirits of the dead to the next phase of their existence. It was also told to Maui that if he could climb up her vagina and out her mouth he would no longer be subject to death, so he turned into a lizard and snuck in while she was sleeping, but the little bird Piwakawaka saw and thought it so ridiculous he started laughing, which woke up Hine-nui-te-Pō, and she crushed Maui to death with her nether teeth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hine-nui-te-p%C5%8D

The shoes are/were good. I wear them daily now. Every librarian I know in New Zealand wears them to work, a quick poll in my wider development team at work had 80% of the people wearing them that day and 90% owned at least one pair.

My guess is someone convinced the founders they could break into the US market and become billionaires, so they took on debt and VC funding and were crushed under the repayments when it didn’t work out.

If they’d been happy making good shoes, taking home a million bucks a year and staying a profitable business in NZ, I think they’d still be doing that.

Greed mucks everything up…

@MojoBob Agreed, Cooking over gas is not bad, but we replaced a gas stove with induction, and I prefer it for cooking now (plus I was paying $35 per month to have the option of using $3 of gas, which was pretty unattractive.)

Stromae - Alors on danse
(so we dance)

Every fast food place we went into in France for 3 weeks played this song... So we bought the album...

"Who says study says work
Who says work says money
Who says money says spend
Who says credit says debt
Who says debt says bailiff
Yes says you're in deep shit
Who says love says kids
Says "til death do us apart" and says divorce
Who says loved ones says mourning
Because problems never come alone
Who says crisis says world
Says famine says third world
Who says tired says wake up
Still deaf from the day before
So we go out to forget all our problems

So we Dance"

Laibach - Tanz mit Laibach

An art group making music who started under Yugoslavian Communist Rule. A lot of their stuff is pretty scathing wrapped in a surface of acceptable to the boss facade. It was interesting finding them referenced in every modern art museum we went to between Vienna and Ljubljana (called Laibach by the Germans.)

Dance with Laibach seems to me to be about the ways everyone gets in step with the trends of the time. Particularly politics, war and technology. Verse 3 is about the invasion of Iraq

One, two, three, four
Brother, come, dance with me
One, two, three, four
I give you both of my hands
One, two, three, four
My friends, dance with me
One, two, three, four
All around, it isn't difficult

https://youtu.be/Glu9wA4HjE0

Worth reading the whole translated lyrics on something like https://genius.com/Genius-english-translations-laibach-tanz-mit-laibach-english-translation-lyrics

@SimonCHulse@mastodon.nz That's probably 500 fewer cars competing for road space and parking in town... I'd think drivers would appreciate that

@luckytran Tell me again how we can't take precautions because it would be bad for the economy?

@ConnyChiwa WTAF indeed. Has the research changed? Are they trying to save money? Or are they pandering to the cooker vote?

@CarolynStirling Agree completely. My parents got Covid for the first time over Christmas/NY because Mum was in the hospital, and dad was visiting.

@sjn@chaos.social I’m torn, because although in general I’d assume the “made with AI” suggested lesser quality, I have seen a lot of tat made by humans where quality was not a consideration at all…
