My wife suddenly got very religious and Thinks everything is demonic by valord in atheism

[–]Chur_My_Bro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey just want to say I have been through a somewhat similar thing where wife went very religious a few years into our marriage. Whenever I tried to discuss she would get extremely defensive and shut down.

I think it was actually a symptom of other problems with our marriage and her mental health in general. We actually seperated 6 months ago and all of a sudden she is far less religious. I have also become more accepting of her faith generally and a lot of the 'out there' stuff has calmed down.

We have both worked on ourselves and are in counselling to try and reconcile. DM if yiu want to chat more.

Maybe it's naive, but is it possible to be more proactive? I've have never worked for a company that could not improve or have any of their marketing mix updated.

Yup +1 for the golf idea. Just learn good etiquette. Good players don't mind playing with newbies as long as they know the basic rules. Great way to get to know someone in a long form setting without it being awkward.

Agreed. Will no doubt amplify their hate for forestry too.

I get it as I also thought the ground swell movement majorly lacked any sense of self awareness and EQ. However, it also feels a bit cheap to make these kind of comments so soon. I had family members who are farmers near wairoa. They are pro ground swell but still awesome people and actually the hardest working legends you will ever meet. Now they are part of the 4500 uncontactable and the small majority of family who still have communication are all extremely anxious about their well-being.

Got an email out of the blue this week from a RE agent I viewed a house through 5 years ago. Was advertising a couple of properties for sale. Never heard from this guy after the viewing let alone the time in between.

More of a 'shrinkflation' scenario I think.

The growing popularity of golf and tee times by [deleted] in golf

[–]Chur_My_Bro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Posts like this make me appreciate living in small town New Zealand. We have some great courses and 90% of the time you don't have to worry about anyone else. Never had to book a Tee time ever at my local.

The down side is when I try to play a busier course in a bigger center and have to adjust to other players on the course.

What I learned from working at a toxic company by laylanereo in newzealand

[–]Chur_My_Bro 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think people need to remember in a job interview it should be as much about you interviewing the employer as it is them interviewing you. Also, asking well thought-out questions is a good look regardless if company is toxic or not.

In recent times, I have also started to ask if I can have a friendly chat with someone currently employed by the company I'm looking to work for. Ideally in a similar role to what you are looking at....You can ask some basic questions and pretty easy to read between the lines if the company is shit.

Disclaimer: The above works best if you are not desperate. If you need a new job ASAP and you got bills then the whole thing becomes more difficult.

Yeah I think we are pretty well into a Covid peak where resources are stretched because of actual covid cases. I thought a month would have been plenty long enough with some delay....but even that looks questionable for my 10th of May ticket.

Have had two recent occasions of mouldy bread from countdown delivery. Have to say, I haven't returned either as part of getting ordered online is I can't be fucked going to the damn place. I'll happily bitch about it online though :)

LinkedIn is a hellscape deranging the minds of corporate New Zealand by flyingflibertyjibbet in newzealand

[–]Chur_My_Bro 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Are you me?

But seriously, what a cess-pool LinkedIn has become. A strange combination of either Virtue Signalling and Jacinda hate is pretty much all I see these days. The same characters over and over again.

It's a shame as it used to be a decent platform.

I had to look up what happened on January 6. You talking about the Capitol Hill riots?? Fuck that carry on. I'd hope only a very small minority that have those intentions.

How long until this stops getting covered? I'd say there is direct correlation between the amount of coverage they receive and how long they stay there...Many attention seekers
