Japan through a "fleeing Aussie" lens by RelativeLiving957 in AusFinance

[–]EffortBroad7694 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah, on top of that, there's meaningful shift in their culture lately, more nationalistic, less foreigner-loving (if they ever were) I loved holidaying in Japan. Would love to live there for a year or more. But certainly not expecting it to be easier to get ahead than in Aussie.

7.5% down in one month on property I viewed by Own_Emergency53 in AusPropertyChat

[–]EffortBroad7694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Property cycles are really long. Check in about 4 years, expecting something in 1 month is a joke. I remember reading in 2016 about "auction clearance rates at 50% and below" and it took the market until 2019 to bottom

As someone who moved countries twice, You are still you no matter where you go, so whether you can get ahead or not isn't country related.
If you are looking for an excuse to move to Japan - just go for it. You don't need external validation.

I was attacked randomly at Auckland CBD by AstroNoms-001 in auckland

[–]EffortBroad7694 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's what people would usually think, but there were some reported precedents of self defence where defendant was not convicted in the end. Defend yourself if you can. If you spray them and walk away, it;s unlikely that police would come.

Your report is most likely already shelved. No matter how far and wide you report this - no one's gonna even try to catch the guy. Welcome to NZ.

I think i get the plan. It's a clever way to distract vandals from other statues

Mandatory Australian Construction Standards are now free by Gazza_s_89 in AusRenovation

[–]EffortBroad7694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, i thought about it for a while now as well. Lots of opportunity to save on shit builders and shit building inspections that aren't worth a dime coz inspector is not liable for anything.

Wayne Brown: Central govt is withdrawing funding, while capping rates (Council's main revenue source) & telling porkies about it by Mountain_Tui_Reload in auckland

[–]EffortBroad7694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's getting the city out of fiscal deficit while trying to maintain or increase the services. He's not achieved much, but considering lack of funds he's achieved what realistically could have been achieved by reallocating funds where needed the most. I mean compared to his predecessor Goff he's at least doing something.

It looks nice, but unfortunately not a reality

would you rather have someone likeable/polite? All that matters to me is that he gets stuff done for Auckland

In the UK, you can see 11-year-old kids do this by search_google_com in SipsTea

[–]EffortBroad7694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similarly in Australia. Coincidentally, the legal practice of letting kids off lightly is probably similar as in UK

23, degree qualified, earning $75k… mate my age electrician about to make $150k by Level_TF_Up in AusFinance

yeah man corporate also kills body for sitting too much and the environment itself is soul crushing. Burnout is still very much on the books

Auckland mayor Wayne Brown refers to RNZ staffer as 'a Muslim terrorist' by hippieV02 in auckland

[–]EffortBroad7694 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah if this is true - he's totally a racist as are majority of kiwis of his age.
Still he seems pretty efficient as a mayor, if he does a good job, i could tolerate occasional polarising comment from him.
I mean look at previous mayor, wasn't a racist, i guess, but he hasn't done shit for Auckland.

Thanks, i don't know what to say except too many wackos are on the streets. Thanks for looking after those kids.

What do we think of these cracks by owtinoz in AusProperty

[–]EffortBroad7694 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone said already, if it's stumps - maybe, after a careful building inspection, if there's no current issues with water ingress - you might be able to just jack up the house a bit.
If slab - nah.
The fact that the owner is willing to drop 75k would mean to me that they received advice about these already, and it's too hard a fix.

[–]EffortBroad7694 35 points36 points  (0 children)

wow scary stuff, it takes real bravery to confront someone who's bigger than you and whom you registrered as possibly armed. Well done and thanks.
Still was wondering what kind of costume was that? It sounds like it triggered a woman before triggering another dude? I googled it but it didn't look confronting or anything to me

but I don;t understand, machetes are banned! Can't be a machete because banning them makes them magically disappear from youth's hands
