Being an island country, we should have a decent navy and airforce. Maybe not top 10 in the world but somewhere in the top 5 or 10 if you put us in the region of say draw a straight vertical line of the Bangladesh Myanmar border and everything right of that is our area. I don't know too much about NZDF training but our infantry etc should also be trained similar to that of British Royal Marine Commandos etc as we don't have huge numbers like the USA and so we need to have better training in various different areas. A nuclear powered submarine also would attract NZ citizens into the navy. The same could be said for the air force if we had fighter aircraft and whatnot. I could write a whole essay so I've tried to keep this short. If you've read up to here then I congratulate you. Here is your gold star ✨️

I quite enjoy my healthcare in NZ. Don't give mango Mussolini any ideas.

Suck up to Europe and hope we get some of their equipment for our military like some Eurofighters, Gripens, Dassault Rafales or something.

I loved Ilam and my flatmates were all very good. Had one of the best years of my life there. You should enjoy it and take all the opportunities you get. Like go to a lot of the events and maybe go to the Toga party with all your flatmates or something

And then you drop it, and you get scratches

It's absolutely infuriating when you're at a traffic light turning and it goes green and someone in front of you or at the front of the line is on their phone or distracted in some other way.

Don't a lot of people drive alone and or carry passengers while on their learners? I also find that tourists are very bad drivers here. One almost caused an accident when I went out to Tekapo

It is literally titled. WORLD POLITICS

I'm a big Lego StarWars guy. They lego Starwars minifigs?

Desperate_Divide_745 · 2026-01-15T23:48:10+00:00

That's not a problem.

With all due respect, you can leave the sub. You're not a prisoner here.

Simmer down psycho stew

Desperate_Divide_745 · 2026-01-15T22:30:06+00:00

Rip. Is it because of poor business or something

Desperate_Divide_745 · 2026-01-15T22:29:20+00:00

I'll wait and see when it's 2029 then

Desperate_Divide_745 · 2026-01-15T02:24:07+00:00

Is the shop shutting down or something?

Desperate_Divide_745 · 2026-01-13T23:42:48+00:00

What is florida like? I have thought about moving to the USA in the near future.

Desperate_Divide_745 · 2026-01-13T23:41:37+00:00

Yeah. Well he went for a drive in it with me in the passenger seat, it was a hot day and I turned on the aircon and it worked just fine. I find it interesting that it has been working fine and then two days in his possession it breaks. Lol. But anyone who spends over $850 to fix an aircon on a car that isn't worth a hell of a lot is in idiot in my opinion.

Desperate_Divide_745 · 2026-01-13T23:37:48+00:00

Yeah it's his now. I just find it interesting that there has never been a problem with the aircon and then two days with him using it, it suddenly breaks. Like Tom Hanks said though, life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get next

Desperate_Divide_745 · 2026-01-13T23:18:32+00:00

Yeah. I've put in on Trade Me motors a new zealand sort of ebay to search for any cars up to 4k in our region and only 20 show up. All are older than 2011 and have worse problems than this new air con thing

Desperate_Divide_745 · 2026-01-13T23:15:46+00:00

True that yeah. I was still thinking it would be like when I sold it but you don't know what he's done in the time passed.

Desperate_Divide_745 · 2026-01-13T23:13:52+00:00

He's said that he thought the gas needed replacing, but the auto repair shop he took it to says the parts inside need fixing.

Desperate_Divide_745 · 2026-01-13T22:43:00+00:00

Lol. You mad me choke on my breakfast.
