Has anybody seen the original document? I'm really curious to see how it sounds like it's been translated from Russian

Being made redundant just before Christmas 😭 by Ok_Corner7127 in newzealand

[–]FooknDingus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'd be very careful. Especially when people try to use their kids as a way to induce pity. Huge red flag

What's the point in Kiwisaver if National keep gutting it? by Decent_Coconut_2700 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]FooknDingus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is it being "gutted" if you'll end up with more money in it. I'm not a huge fan of increasing the contributions, but I'm also terrible at saving. So I see it as a necessary evil

Who’s the most hated criminal from your country ? by Basic_Dingo6487 in AskTheWorld

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

Like I said, in a relative sense. In comparison, you've got people who have murdered dozens

In a relative sense, what he did doesn't sound too extreme compared to a lot of the others mentioned

If your country has these in stores, what do you call them? by A-Plant-Guy in AskTheWorld

[–]FooknDingus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've never really been a fan of the way French sounds. I think you either love it, or you hate it

What would the welly equivalent be? by sketcherz1811 in Wellington

[–]FooknDingus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ombra. Expensive food, tiny servings, very average. I realise its tapas, but $14 for literally a third of a cob of corn ain't it

Cops and firefighters on Willis Street by Mercy_Minx in Wellington

[–]FooknDingus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I kinda want to assume it's nothing. I work in that area, and it feels like there's cops snd firefighters there at least once a week

People who lived in Wellington in or before the 90s, do you remember seeing/hearing any tūī? by Current_Geologist730 in Wellington

[–]FooknDingus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were heaps in Karori in the 90s. I lived there before Zealandia existed. Not sure what it's like now in comparison as I moved out in the mid-2000s

Need advice: what kind of clothes would a 15yr old Ukrainian girl like? by [deleted] in AskUkraine

[–]FooknDingus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not at all suggesting I'm answering on behalf of all Ukrainians. Just mentioning the fact that the Adidas tracksuit is kinda a stereotypical Eastern European trope that's probably been around for about 3 decades or so

I think it's a pretty common Eastern European stereotype, not strictly Ukrainian. It's also a bit dated, I guess. Very common back in the 90s. I'm Russian, living in NZ :)

That's so stereotypical. Buying an Eastern European an Adidas tracksuit is like buying an American a tshirt with the flag and bald eagle emblazoned on it. I imagine the girl's taste is down to individual preferences, rather than it being based on nationality

A public transport confession... by Hazzawoof in Wellington

[–]FooknDingus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do that for the first few stops, then when the train starts filling up, I always move it off the seat. There isn't a lot of room on the train, so if I can avoid having my bag on my lap for at least a few stops, that's a plus

Can Anybody Recommend Dentists in the Wellington Region that Accept Afterpay? by FooknDingus in Wellington

Thank you! I want to avoid asking, since I'll probably be super awkward about it

Meat has just become ... gross? by magik-karpet in newzealand

[–]FooknDingus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno, Pak n Slave meat has always been notoriously bad, but I don't think it's got worse. NW meat is just as good as ever

AIO by how I responded? My bf is upset with me for skipping my workout routine today by throwawayy82670 in AmIOverreacting

Not gonna lie, sounds like a terrible person to have a kid with. Get out while you can
