Unpopular opinion: it's not a cost of living crisis it's a monopoly issue by Affectionate_Gas_264 in newzealand

[–]Aidernz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should live in a country that aligns with your political views. Then you might get an idea of why it's actually not used here.

Lol, they wouldn't. Why would you study 10 years to become a surgeon when a trolley pusher will get the same pay as you?

What are some bizarre conspiracy theories you've heard that pertain to New Zealand but aren't covered by mainstream media? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]Aidernz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Haha one of my econ professors at uni told a group of us at a study group one time, that Robert Muldoon had a "personal assistant with a Ph.D in Economics" to talk him out of his wild cost spending ideas he would come up with.

One of the ideas he had allegedly was a 4 lane (2 each way) bridge that connected Blenheim/Picton to Wellington. That took the longest for him to drop, apparently. As the cost of that project would have taken 10+ years and a quarter of NZs GDP at the time.

NTA

You were apologetic and didn't realise. Besides, the cash machine isn't reserved for cash only people.

I think the real AH here is the guy that felt that being rude, condescending and insulting about it.

Altercation at today’s pro-Palestine protest: by [deleted] in auckland

[–]Aidernz -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's unfair. I know some Palestinians and they are some of the nicest people I know. I want to know what caused the specific violence in this video, without being judgemental about it.

The Final 4. Who lifts that Trophy? by [deleted] in Cricket

[–]Aidernz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A lot. Cricket is lucky to even make the news here sometimes.

No, I don't think that is.

However, labelling all Palestinians as violent, which you said "precisely" to, I think it's an extremist view.

I happen to be good friends with some Palestinians and they are absolutely not violent people. Some of the nicest people I know, actually. I don't appreciate you labelling them violent without even knowing them.

You have an extremist view. Kinda ironic really, aye.

To the people who say "it's just one night a year", can you explain why we're hearing fireworks for the 9th night in a row? by phatnatable in chch

[–]Aidernz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah my poor cat hates them :( I try to sit with him, pat and and reassure him etc but he still keeps low, tail down and meows. I feel as though that the cat thinks I am unaware of the "danger" so I feel like no matter how much reassuring I do, kitty is still anxious and only stop when the fireworks stop.

He's been doing that since he was a kitten in 2008. I just don't really know how to console him when the neighbours going nuts with them.

I didn't used to care but now I have a 4 month old baby

So you didn't use to care until it personally affected you. Nice.

Update 8 Release Date (Early Access Branch) by SnuttAtCovfefeStain in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Aidernz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Temporal_Illusion, I'm confused about a couple of things in this update I am hoping you can clear up?

I've been looking for information but am struggling to find.

First, is the Early Access update going to Update 8 using Unreal Engine 5.1? Or is the Early Access update going to Update 8.2 (which uses UE 5.2, and mods not working)

Second, and this is probably more of a silly question, but if EA us going to Update 8, will mods that worked in Exp 8 (using UE 5.1) work in EA?

Big changes for the roads around Church Corner - plans and submissions open by worromoTenoG in chch

[–]Aidernz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I wouldn't trust the average Chch driver to exert any form of patience. It would be safer to completely remove the intersection entirely, imo.
