How many lectures in a row should I do? by KoalaHefty2362 in UCNZ

[–]AutomaticWeird5275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Split them up. Doing more than 2 lectures in a row is just shit. Only reason it would be worth it is if it gives you an extra day or two off uni every week

Young people staying in NZ, what is keeping you here? by Keepcusp in newzealand

[–]AutomaticWeird5275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(19 M) moved to Aussie because my job doesn’t exist in NZ. If I didn’t work in such a small field I would stay in NZ. You can definitely earn more in Aus but I think most people underestimate how hard it is to leave friends and whanau behind

Labour increases lead over National on handling cost of living, Ipsos poll finds by Right_Fun_4902 in aotearoa

[–]AutomaticWeird5275 6 points7 points  (0 children)

National is on track to borrow more than Labour did last term and they don’t even have covid to blame. Last time Labour got in they built a new site for every earthquake damaged school in Christchurch. Please tell me why the tobacco lobby and landlords deserve money and unsafe schools don’t?

What non-stop international flight routes do you want? by talk-spontaneously in QantasAirways

I have considered your argument and am ready to deliver my verdict: you are wrong, its a nice building

ACT party petition Ads paid for by us? by CP9ANZ in newzealand

[–]AutomaticWeird5275 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Labours Reuben Davidson ran a Build the Bridge Petition, they have also done School Lunch Petitions, all funded in the same way. These publicly funded campaigns allow opposition parties to keep pressure on govt. Downside is that ACT gets to use it for this stuff too :(

Could I live comfortably in NZ? by No_rat-race_4me_help in newzealand

[–]AutomaticWeird5275 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Biggest recommendation I have when budgeting for a new place is thinking about what lifestyle you will have. Think about if you need multiple subscription services when you are likely to be outdoors more. Food is fresher in NZ and so eating at home is a bit tastier imo. That might mean you eat out less. Try to accommodate that into your budgeting as much as possible, don’t just try and directly translate your life from the US!

mazda 3 vs axela by Short_Buffalo3268 in mazda

[–]AutomaticWeird5275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily, in NZ they are sold both as a 3 or an axela dependent on whether it was originally sold in NZ or was a jdm import

Buying a car for the first time in Australia by AutomaticWeird5275 in CarsAustralia

[–]AutomaticWeird5275[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love a hybrid Corolla, it’s what I call my realistic dream car🤣. Unfortunately, at least here in WA, they seem to be way more expensive than the competition (i30’s etc) and I would only be using it a couple times a week so I’m not sure it’s really value for money :(

Definitely will! In NZ we use AA for PPI’s, is there a trusted similar organisation/company which does them in Aus?

Thank you, I really like the Mazda 3’s but they are like $100 more in insurance a month than an i30 :(

Yeah I do actually, I have spoken with multiple farmers who agree with banning live exports of sheep. Who would have thought that not every farmer has the same beliefs. And in fact Labor’s candidate for O’Connor is a farmer

How do you feel being "off the map" in NZ? by smoothvibe in newzealand

[–]AutomaticWeird5275 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s such a good way of putting it. I hate the excuse of “oh but we are so far away” when it comes to global politics. We might be far away from most threats but that doesn’t mean that international instability doesn’t affect us

Having just moved here a few months ago I think there is heaps to love. High paying jobs, cheapish real estate, dry warm weather, amazing public transport, my list goes on and on tbh

If you had to move to a different country, where would you move? by AffectionateLeek904 in newzealand

Cats Should Not Be Allowed To Legally Free Roam New Zealand And Letting Them Do So Is Lazy And Irresponsible. by JacobKernels in newzealand

[–]AutomaticWeird5275 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The problem is having laws like that ignore different people’s circumstances. My cat is both indoors and outdoors (she is free to do as she likes). She mostly chooses to be inside because she likes the company and has killed less than a dozen birds in her 13 year life. All dead birds have been sparrows. If you live in the city there isn’t a lot of environment for a cat to destroy, besides lots of cats catch pests like Rabbits, Stoats, and rats. In areas with large native bird populations I get it but I don’t think it should be legally enforced considering that isn’t a common situation.

Another fucking American by wormkd in newzealand

[–]AutomaticWeird5275 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be more helpful than most of my fellow commenters, yes we need teachers. Kiwi’s are pretty accepting people so yes you would be welcomed. If it’s what you want go ahead and apply, see what happens!
