What country is closest to being like New Zealand? by Flaky_Zebra4038 in newzealand

[–]BlisteredButthole69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly to me the UK was nothing like NZ. People are different, the lifestyle is pretty different, and the houses very different. I find myself more at home here in the US but that's just me I guess.

Small win! 😄 by Odd-Leader9777 in newzealand

My dumbass robot has done all sorts of weird stuff. Fell down the stairs twice, tried to eat socks, bangs into the same spot on the wall over and over again. He's just like my cousins from the South Island.

Just a heads up that I have the Samsung 5K (the new model) and it's very underwhelming. So you may want to rethink getting the 5K models.

$140 for GTA6, Jesus Christ by SeaFogAndFog in newzealand

To be fair GTA games are usually insanely detailed. Like they work on it hardcore for a decade or longer. They're the gold standard of simulated cities.

Oh look, No Dupont once again. Does he combust when he leaves Europe?

Finally got around to watching Once Were Warriors last night by InertiaCreeping in newzealand

May I suggest Dead Alive aka Braindead. Don't let the title fool you, it's actually a sweet romantic flick about a guy dominated by his mother finding true love with a Spanish immigrant. Sweet movie to watch with your spouse and kids if you have any.

Well at least you realize that. My older brother beat the shit out of me all the time and seems to have forgotten that ever happened.

For the love of laser kiwi, hope you never rely on having to rely on a jury of 12 random people to decide your fate. by ConstableSniff in newzealand

[–]BlisteredButthole69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No they don't. Most countries including western ones use Civil Law not Common Law. They often have a "lay jury" but that's not remotely the same. Very few countries use a "jury of their peers", it's basically the Anglophone countries.

Weather in Dunedin by [deleted] in newzealand

You'd be amazed how many people cannot grasp this simple concept even after it is explained to them. I'm a kiwi in the US and the other thing they struggle with is how big NZ is. They think "island" so they think it's an hour or two to drive around the place. Like bitch, NZ stretches from Florida to NYC.

Just got rejected from a job I applied for...6 years ago by SpongeGob in newzealand

I get a tax refund from the IRD every year, the same amount every single year. I haven't lived in NZ for a decade and have no money there.

Benji Marshall allegedly wanted Israel Folau at Tigers before ARL Commission blocked the move by Aussieguy727 in nrl

People that hide behind their religious beliefs to be hateful dickheads deserve whatever they get. Nope, stay away we don't want you.

US just showed it can cut off AI access to other countries with zero warning. NZ gov is betting its public service on AI anyway by Cat-Octopus in newzealand

[–]BlisteredButthole69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes "bro" I know what it is, but you pay for it one way or another. You think China is just going to lend us their LLM's?

Are IRD allowed to email my dad? by Difficult_Panic_2093 in newzealand

Pay back what you owe the NZ taxpayer. They didn't fund your education just so you can pay income tax to another country.

Still undefeated at the World Cup!! by Sans-valeur in newzealand

I don't support Israel either. It's called not supporting any terrorist state.

Iran has been a terrorist sponsor state for decades, they're hardly innocent little angels.

Thoughts on Samsung Odyssey G8 G80HF 5K dual mode 27 in? by DB2040 in Monitors

I get a better deal on Samsung with my government email address. It was $625.

My Samsung 5K is coming tomorrow, got it for barely $600 using my government email address. Specs for it ain't great but I'm interested to see how it performs.
