The Daily Blog Open Mic – 10th October 2024
Announce protest actions, general chit chat or give your opinion on issues we haven’t covered for the day.
The Editor doesn’t moderate this blog, 3 volunteers do, they are very lenient to provide you a free speech space but if it’s just deranged abuse or putting words in bloggers mouths to have a pointless argument, we don’t bother publishing.
All in all, TDB gives punters a very, very, very wide space to comment in but we won’t bother with out right lies or gleeful malice. We leave that to the Herald comment section.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist abuse, homophobic abuse, racist abuse, anti-muslim abuse, transphobic abuse, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, Qanon lunacy, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird bullshit about the UN taking over the world and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.

…On Thursday, a former police vetting officer, who interviewed both of the referees put forward for his firearms licence application, gave evidence in the coroner’s court.
Police have already accepted the two referees were not suitable as one was an online friend the terrorist played video games with, and the other was that friend’s parent.

The vetting officer said he had been in the role more than 20 years by 2017 when he conducted the interviews and had never had any complaints about the way he filled out the vetting guide.
He said his job was simply to ask the questions and record the answers.
He told the inquest by the time of the interviews, he already knew both referees from previous dealings as they were firearms licence holders themselves…</b
(That’s well-known psychological effect in officials put in place to monitor actions and limit and control people. And why it can’t be relied on for controls or simply passing laws by-laws etc as they can end up go-by laws.)
After reading how kind men are to other men with guns, I laugh when I think I am being charged $200 for parking too long in town one afternoon. Are we whacky or not??
