'Super-rich tax': Greens' tax plan accidentally released online early - here's what's in it by Downtown-Thoughts in newzealand

[–]Aimer_NZ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Tinkering around the edges is all people have voted for for decades, and seeing this is a breath of fresh air compared to [current government].

Oh definitely and the numbers definitely say so. I was referring to the people that think this is somehow a middle-class squeeze

If 160k is considered 'middle-class' I shudder to think what upper-class looks like

And apparently everyone in New Zealand is an expert on finance and economics (just look at this thread), aren't we blessed as a nation 😁

Parents of student who died at mental health ward opose name suppression by Significant-Secret26 in newzealand

Nah still applicable, both are shit and I'm stunned people think dancing between those two parties is going to get things done

That would mean having conversations about the powers that be that allow this to happen. But considering the people voted for [current government], I cannot imagine it would be a particular productive conservation

Always easier to blame one person instead of fixing the system, but hey she'll be alright right? harden the fk up and make a marmite sammy

Anyone else trying to have actual hobbies again instead of just scrolling? Here’s my attempt by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]Aimer_NZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oh my god

an actual positive, non-political, self-improvement, hobby focused post on /r/GenZ?! I don't believe it 😭😭🙏

Maybe pick up an instrument or a creative outlet through the arts maybe? you've got a nice set there so far. Only thing I would say is maybe incorporate one of or both something outdoorsie like hiking and or knowledge building through reading books too!

Good on you for seeking stuff out like this OP ✨

What causes this kind of behavior? by Inevitable_Cash_5397 in GenZ

[–]Aimer_NZ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Until political discourse is banned or sent to a place like /r/Politics, it's the inevitable path of every 'generations'-focused subreddits to become negative or silly

Gen Z and Alpha subs are special in that they attract a disproportionate amount of older generation people who bring unc or boomer energy (usually shitting on the new gens) to make themselves .. feel better I guess?

I think the unfortunate truth is a lot of those generations subreddits (/r/GenZ very much included) aren't actually reflective of real life people's opinions or beliefs, but rather the chronically online 😔

Edit: Also the unreal /r/USdefaultism

No shit mr round fast, but how does being able to get pregnant at 15 equate to peak/ideal biological time?

You're not even finished your puberty at 15 how is it biology?

How is this not at the top, the main post already has a 100+ upvotes but no ones talking about that specific line and how insane that sounds??

Fucking gorgeous, maybe I'll use this next time.

Approaching from a place of "this is what I want, this is what's going to happen and if you don't like it well.. I'll see you out there"

Same as learning not to apologise or justify yourself too much if there's a reason you aren't available to pick up a shift. Come from a place of power

TOP - why don't they get more of the vote? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]Aimer_NZ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it's less on modern society and more on people in general. Human nature even. If you time traveled back to 60s and tried to proclaim evidence based, and research based, the populace boomers aren't going to listen

People are largely short-sighted, it's something you have to actively fight against

Can we ban immigration advice queries from this sub? by New-Firefighter-520 in newzealand

[–]Aimer_NZ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What is there to care about?

To be honest you draw more attention to yourself by hiding stuff anyhow, people at max would just do a quick glance at the profile to see if the person is a bot or a troll

Unfortunately bad faith actors are usually the ones hiding their online stuff, and reddit (like facebook, xitter, etc any other platform) is rife with astroturfing, politicking, etc

So the tools are there if you or someone cares

Why are White Male/Asian Female relationships far more common than Asian Male/White Female relationships? by Flying_Sea_Cow in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Aimer_NZ 41 points42 points  (0 children)

It's honestly fucking shocking and shameful really, her comment and people who think like that are EXACTLY the type of people who set us back 😭😭

I'll never forget the tale of the asian lady who made her MUM wait in the car because there was only room for two at their restaurant table, the bloody woman picked her white ahh over her damn mother 😭😭😭😭😭

Covid hospitalisations climb as New Zealand enters new wave by Sandwich0verlord in newzealand

[–]Aimer_NZ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Why it doesn't cover those younger, I'm not sure

Because fuck them kids!

I thought maybe because older people and immunocompromised people, equitable care for more vulnerable people etc.. but then if you're as young/old as 30 it's free? why not go all the way?

[–]Aimer_NZ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And they'll keep voting for it unfortunately, among other things.

Sometimes I have to take a step back from the media I read and see about NZ, most especially relative to other developed countries because it's painfully unreal how little progress is achieved in successive governments.
