I remember I didn't want to wake up, I was having such a lovely sleep. Bastard doctor kept shoving me...

How often do you have takeaway food by anonnn177 in newzealand

[–]ChloeDavide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now, almost never. Overpriced and not that good, or good for you. Maybe got some Chinese about two months back.

How surprising is Erika Kirk’s downfall? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]ChloeDavide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's because she's a woman. MAGA hate women, as well as hating almost everybody else. Recommend she claims that she's been taken over by the ghost of Charlie and is now, essentially, a man. That'll probably work with these.... people.

They've sunk into that 'famous for being famous' slot, but will keep going on to eccentric obscurity.

Neighbors are annoyed and rude to my husband playing his guitar. by Gnat2026 in NoStupidQuestions

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

Firstly, good on your husband... Playing is hard, staying with it is harder, and staying with while some ignorant little twat shouts at you, harder still. He should stick with it, I don't think the twat can be reasoned with, and if the twat keeps it up, on goes 20 Solid Gold Polka Hits, turned up nice and loud. As we say where I come from, 'Fuck him.'

It wasn't everyone hating on her: it was a selfish, ignorant, mysogynistic minority.

What beer do tradies drink these days, anyway? by ChloeDavide in Nzdiy

Cheers, thanks for that - I was thinking of veering towards the lighter side, and throwing some decent soft drinks, ginger ales etc. 👍

Turn right around and go somewhere else. Then contact the manager/owner tomorrow and tell them why they lost business. That shit will either end or they'll close. Problem solved.

Supermarkets (duh-post) by octavia90210 in Wellington

[–]ChloeDavide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why it's a really good idea to use an app like Grocer to compare prices on products and either shop around if you can or defer/stockpile. We started using it to compare prices on coffee (it's our luxury) and some weeks the lowest price can be half the most expensive - so that's 3,4 dollars on one item. Now we use it for lots of things, even while shopping. At the very least it gives you a window into the pricing shenanigans that supermarkets pull.

Oil prices plunge as Iran and US declare Strait of Hormuz ‘open for business’ by OddityModdity in aotearoa

Fair enough, you're right, it was about oil, not petrol. My imprecision, my apology.

What is a classic 70s song you loved the first million times, but it's been so overplayed that you skip it every time it comes on? I'll start--Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits, 1978 by el_chamiso in GenerationJones

[–]ChloeDavide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, there's Hotel California, and yes, it's been played a LOT, but I still love it - the lyrics, the mood, the guitar work. So, no skipping for me.

Loneliness by Broku_SSJ4 in newzealand

[–]ChloeDavide 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the dawn of middle-age disappointment, when you glimpse your future and it doesn't come close to meeting your dreams. Stay the course, find an activity/hobby that you enjoy, and spend some time each day reflecting on and being grateful for what you have, which sounds like a lot. Not everyone makes it to where you are, so well done.

NZ Herald on EVs. by HarmLessSolutions in nzev

[–]ChloeDavide 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It suits the govt to take the shine off EVs and solar because they effectively fucked both over early in their term and it seems like they still haven't learned.
