The Daily Blog Open Mic – 13th March 2025
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.
This is frustrating. i have been in Trade Me for yonks and never had the difficulty with shipping I am having now – have someone else’s parcel and presume they have mine.
But I can’t fill out an enquiry to Aramex because they have both been delivered. So
apparently end of story. To be efficient Aramex like so many big companies don’t want to communicate with you. They give you limited options and deny any further enquiries. It’s world-wide and hasn’t time to offer a wrap-around service for everyone!
If I give up on the internet I can ring my local franchised entity. But not with an 0800 number as might be expected. Now I am going to try and phone locally. I may be able to get through and pass on the information I need to – we’ll see. Great!… had appropriate options and pressed the number and a relatively short wait and then talked to a pleasant woman and gave her all the relevant information. I was advised what to do to put it right and made arrangements and advised when my own parcel was likely to be delivered and attended to well.
It is so good to talk to people who want to help in a pleasant and effective way. All those in government departments or business please try for the same result with queries and difficulties from people.
Something to try to do – attend political conference in April in Wellington. We need to confer.
…the Post Capitalist Aotearoa conference. As economic and environmental crises intensify, this event will explore why a post capitalist environment is urgent, the possible alternatives and how New Zealand can make this transition.
Might you be interested in attending and/or spreading the message to your network?
It’s on 23-24 April 2025.
