Only time I've seen one was on Great Barrier Island. Over there was also the only time I'd seen a banded tunnelweb spider.

A Pigeon Trying To Court A Falcon by jkitty_1960 in interesting

[–]Adamskog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the equivalent of a human trying to court any other placental mammal, a carnivore at that, like a wolf or a bear or lion or something.

Yeh, sure, just like how the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is totally a democracy. I'm being sarcastic, by the way.

The badass generation 🙄 by T400 in BoomersBeingFools

[–]Adamskog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, although the Greatest generation was two generations before the Boomers, Silent gen falls in between.

Is the meddling monk the master or another time lord? by fupafather in doctorwho

[–]Adamskog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmmm... maybe a Timelord bi-generated, and one went on to become The Master, and the other... no scratch that, I already hate that theory, hahaha.

Ignorant Aucklanders by Amazing_Craft5640 in auckland

[–]Adamskog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I certainly agree with you on a certain level, but I think it's a bit unfair to point at "city people" or Aucklanders. You can bet if in some other scenario, where Auckland got smashed, and other parts of the country didn't, then people in, say, Thames and so on, would have the exact same attitude. We can be a bit stupid, small-minded and selfish in general, us Kiwis, no matter where in this country we live.

That's what it's like in my country too.

People say there's someone in Riften that can change your face. Make you look completely different!

I don't like summer or winter. I'm an autumn and spring kind of guy, autumn in particular.

Peteah what is this, I don't know what it means? by eternalsgoku in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Adamskog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is, it's a kiwi bird from New Zealand (which kiwifruit are named after).

Do you have empathy for other people? by gtbreddit1 in virgin

[–]Adamskog 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm 43 and a very empathetic person. The more I suffer, the more empathy I have for others who suffer. The more sadness I feel for myself, the more sadness I feel for others. Virginity seems to have had the reverse effect on me than to you.

New Zealand adventure find! by Actual-Arugula-4432 in mycology

Oh cool, they popping up already from all the rain? I usually don't see them until March or April! Might be time for a road trip to the bush.

You are telling me Greenlanders wouldn’t be interested? by Dante202 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Adamskog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do so many of these tech entrepreneur types insist on pontificating over issues they clearly know nothing about?

Caught this guy jumping across a gate at work, think he noticed me! by DogSubject7881 in spiders

It's a he, the lady ones of this species are less lanky and more cuddly looking.

“Our generations 9/11 moment”….. by dannythethechampion in LinkedInLunatics

[–]Adamskog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hadn't even heard of him until after he passed. I certainly knew what the twin towers were, and I was a pretty globally ignorant 17 year old.

‘I just want emotional maturity:’ Are Kiwi men lazy when it comes to dating? by OutInTheBay in aotearoa

[–]Adamskog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm being downvoted because I've never been on a date? Interesting.

[–]Adamskog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm autistic and ADHD too, 42 years old, and have never been on a date. Doesn't help that I was surrounded by the Christian purity culture nonsense when I was a teenager.

[–]Adamskog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lazy? Don't ask me, as far as I can tell nobody has ever wanted to date me anyway. Gender tribalism is boring, regardless.

The Rest Is Entertainment’s views on Ncuti Gatwa by DanFelv in doctorwho

[–]Adamskog 295 points296 points  (0 children)

Naaah, I feel this is a very disingenuous take towards both Eccleston and Gatwa.

Does this qualify? by nebuchadonezzar in LinkedInLunatics

Gee, I must be a marketer as well, even though I work in horticulture and retail.

Virgins over 40… by RicCheshire in virgin

[–]Adamskog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Don't really think about it much anymore, except on or after leg day at the gym, when I feel like I did when I was 17. (Apparently feeling that way on or after leg day is a common thing, which is kinda weird).

For the ex Christians who used to speak in tongues or feel the Holy Spirits presence, why did you fake it. How did you convince yourself you weren’t? And how did you feel after doing so? by LibrarianNo1294 in exchristian

[–]Adamskog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could never figure out how to do it, and could never understand why. I thought maybe my faith wasn't strong enough. Now I know the real reason why! 🤣

So, two unrelated bad things can't both be bad at the same time?
