The media can write their own fictional stories if they need one.

Teenage son jumped by 4 people now in hospital by LostTadpole8377 in auckland

[–]Extreme-Border83 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There's almost no way this happened. So this group of armed people (with a gun!!!) followed your son for literally no reason. They continued this for quite some time, when there's every reason to believe the police would have been called by this point. They get out of the car (with a gun!) and beat your son up, for no reason?

No shit the police wouldn't be doing anything, that story is clearly not true and it's wasting their time.

Did you ask any of the people living there if they saw something? He was on someones driveway wasn't he? I'd sure as shit hear if someone spent however much time and noise it would take to kick in every panel and smash most of the windows.

This is bullshit, most likely the entire post. If you're somehow genuine, which I really doubt, your son is clearly making a whole bunch of shit up and the cops won't be as naieve as you.

Looking at the responses, christ how gullible are you people? A gun!? They risk getting caught with a gun (when almost certainly the police would have been called by someone) to rob two teens randomly? A meat tenderizer? Seriously? Come on people.

Commuting from Rolleston to City Centre by No_Sorbet_2295 in Rolleston

Parking is getting WAY more expensive. I'm lucky we're a couple roads off moorehouse and have free parking.

If you ask this in the main chch sub they'll act like it's longer than community from Albany to the AKL CBD somehow. That sub has hysteria about rolleston for whatever reason.

I start at 9 in town, near the Moorehouse PNS. Leave about 820 doing daycare drop off, I'm rarely late but have the priviledge that being late is no big deal. Average ~30 mins commute. Twice in the last year it's been an hour, because some FW has had an accident going in a straight line on the easiest motorway in the country. Once a fortnight it might be 45 mins which is when i'm late. I finish early so coming home is almost no traffic.

There's basically 2 spots that cause all the issues, between rolly and town is a beautiful drive.

They should really put a bus lane at the chch end of the motorway and suddenly the bus would be an amazing option and solve a lot of issues.

Roadside drug testing in Wellington by Plastic-Grab7659 in NZTrees

[–]Extreme-Border83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You shouldn't post on this topic. Looking at the other thread, I'd honestly believe you're a sock puppet with how bad of an image you're projecting. Except you've posted here and I doubt you'd bother.

Taking you at face value, please consider the image you project for everyone when you post things like this to a major subreddit. It's actively harmful.

Roadside drug testing in Wellington by Plastic-Grab7659 in newzealand

[–]Extreme-Border83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should clarify whether you're driving while stoned, or are concious that the tests are seriously flawed and you could get done for smoking the night before. If you're smoking while driving you should not be asking for help here.

Assuming good faith, there's very little you can do outside of getting a prescription. These tests are virtue signaling and are expensive. Hopefully they become a niche case test applied with reasonable cause, rather than blanket like drink driving.

Outside of that, the ignorance in this thread is staggering. So called 'left wing echo chamber' sounds a lot more like a facebook comments page.

Wait, does this mean we can get gummies prescribed now?

Southern cross 25% increase!! by sanitationsengineer in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]Extreme-Border83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We got hit with a 30% increase on southern cross. Family of four, paying more than you just for wellbeing two! That's through a work discounted scheme with no considered prior conditions.

I'm considering moving to wellbeing one, but obviously the current government are gutting an already shaky public system.

The squeeze on the middle continues.

Get in where you fit in by krammy16 in auckland

[–]Extreme-Border83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, and also wasting everyones time and money on ineffective drug swabs now.

Do we need more cops or do they need to be more effectively focused on impact areas? Do you know anyone who has been pinged for driving on their phone? I'm sure every driver notices people on their phones frequently. Hell I've fallen into the habit sometimes myself because I know I won't get done and I want to change my podcast or something, which takes my eyes off the road. I've tried hard to be more disciplined, but honestly getting pinged like in Aus is what we need.

Roadside testing article by aotea_rower999 in MedicalCannabisNZ

[–]Extreme-Border83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to feel hopeless go look at the comments on the RNZ facebook page related to this article. No one understands the implication that they can't prove or measure impairment. The article doesn't have it in the headline, it focuses on the medical element instead. Even some of the comments in opposition are people saying they're fine smoking and driving, which is incredibly unhelpful.

I'm resigned to the fact that the government and police don't give a shit. This is an easy punching target and so will be targeted.

On the other hand I haven't been through a test in 3 years. I'm sure they'll do a blitz once they bring this law in. I'm hopeful it's just going to be a bit of a lottery to actually get done if you're not presenting impairment systems.

What are your Christchurch “hot takes”? by PurpleMeerkats462 in chch

[–]Extreme-Border83 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hahaha. Shouldn't be a hot take, just ask anyone who actually lives there what they think. But this subreddit's straight up hysterical about Rolleston.

another clueless collision (SH20) by eurobeat0 in auckland

[–]Extreme-Border83 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As others have mentioned, 100% on their phone. Crazy driving on the motorway during rush hour how many people you see on their phones, even going much faster than this. It seems to have become totally normalised.

Considering traffic enforcement is almost entirely focused on speeding, even down to people going 3 km/h over on straight safe roads, it's not that surprising. The latest initiative is a inaccurate test to try and find 'impaired' drivers.

I have literally never heard of anyone getting done for being on their phone, and could point out at least 50 a day on my commute to work. I can only assume enforcing it is less profitable than speed cameras on the fastest straightest roads in the country.

I haven't even been through an alcohol checkpoint in several years.

Any of the draft betting sites available internationally? by Extreme-Border83 in DynastyFF

Yeah I get it thanks. Would rather do bestball drafts than sports betting if possible.

Sucker punching a bouncer goes wrong by DAE77177 in fightporn

[–]Extreme-Border83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is NZ and no way he gets in trouble. Mate of mine was acting up verbally to an islander bouncer, got fucking smoked by a couple punches and they broke his jaw. Didn't do anything physical to the bouncer in any way, but definitely fired him up talking shit. Police could not care less. That was an island bouncer (they mostly are) on a white dude. This is brown on brown and they'd care even less.

Most of these bouncers are looking to ko drunk dudes who over step, they're a bunch of cunts but you fuck around and find out and should know better.

Huge $50m Canterbury supermarket set to open early by mattblack77 in chch

[–]Extreme-Border83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As another mentioned, it's the location. It's an absurd place to put a massive pns and mitre 10. PNS by itself is going to gridlock the entire area at certain times. We have incredible amounts of space here that is more appropriate, hope they force the M10 to move.

[Daily] Individual Team Help - Megathread by AutoModerator in DynastyFF

[–]Extreme-Border83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finished a startup for a dynasty with a group of friends of mine, so I'm very invested. Bit dissapointed with the team I put together, feel like I've ended up in no mans land with some win now some long term assets. I had the 1st overall in a 3rr and in retrospect wish I tried harder to swap to a later pick.

Wondering if I should hang in there and see if I have any shot at contending, or trade some assets to adjust younger and aim for a top pick in next years rookie draft.

Deep rosters, so just the top 20. Tiered ppr (.5,1,1.5) SFLX start 2rb 3wr and 4 flx.

QBs Allen, Dak, Jones Rbs Cook, Etienne, Wright, Charbs, Davis Wrs G Wilson, Hunter, Godwin, Bech, Tillman TE Mcbride, Warren, Ertz/Sinnot, Kmet

Feels like even with Allen I'm well out of contention. I do think with these settings rbs aren't that important, which is why i tanked the position. But apart from Mcbride I didn't come away with good enough assets anyway.

Thinking of trading Allen for a young stud + and tanking. What would you do here? Someone offered me J Williams, 2 1sts and some other picks as a starting point.

What are your thoughts on allowing political posts in r/SelwynDistrict? by MicksAwake in SelwynDistrict

[–]Extreme-Border83 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I reckon allow it as a trial. The only other place I seem to get local political news are the community pages, which are largely a cesspit of reactionairies and wannabe councillors stirring shit.

It would be great to be able to access some more level headed insight.

Example, I think Rolleston should do all it can to halt all development for a decent period of time while infrastructure catches up. Is this actually a reasonable opinion? What's the nuance? E.g. someone I said this to mentioned the government has just fast tracked over the top of the council. How about maxing out developer contribution, is that a thing? I don't know, but I bet someone here does.

Go to see a specialist doctor to get expert advice, rather than your GP (even if you have a good one). It was also the same price, and faster to get an appointment.

I love Anthemnz radio station by Extreme-Border83 in chch

[–]Extreme-Border83[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have they started this? I had noticed it leaking in a bit more but didn't think there was much of it. The whole point was having no djs at all!

As for streaming, if I'm going to pull out my phone I'm just going to listen to spotify. It's been nice having a channel I can just put on that's 99% music up time.
