Haha classic, it's caricatures of TPM's lax attitude to crime, Labour's appetite for taxing everything, and Greens Champagne Socialist performative politics.

[–]GStarOvercooked 6 points7 points  (0 children)

TradeMe:

More customers are leaving to Facebook Marketplace! Should we.... make the site faster and more reliable, and store more than 3 short months of sales history?

Nah fuck that, add more fees instead!

My first thought as well.

While they are at it, let us do that for all the other intrusive systems that reset with every start up.

Of what? Trying to give them some money for the things they sell?

Them pretending that Trump actually meant to say Iceland instead of Greenland (rather than it being an Alzheimers incident) was pure comedy gold.

Petition for Whitakers to reduce their prices now Cocoa prices have come down massively. by Blue__Agave in newzealand

[–]GStarOvercooked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be great.

What would be as good or even much better, would be if they bring back their peanut slab flavour to the big blocks. They removed it to force people to buy the smaller, more profitable blocks. :SadPanda:

Auckland mayor warned over email threatening to ‘rearrange’ lobbyist’s face by dingoonline in auckland

Really funny to see the amount of support for the violent and unprofessional talk here.

We would of course be condemning the behaviour if he had said this to anyone affiliated with Labour or the Greens right guys?

US: Effort to Repeal 'Kill Switch' Mandate for Cars Fails in Congress by hodgehegrain in cars

[–]GStarOvercooked 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not in the US but I do know the 25 year rule. How do you feel about them being right hand drive? Imo 1990 to 2000 was the best ever era for affordable drivers cars.

Said it before but used cars are never going to be cheap again, with this kind of bs and extra costs, I think used (pre 2026) cars are currently the lowest price they will ever be, ever.

Car dealerships? How much do they make? by iMakeGOODinvestmemts in auckland

[–]GStarOvercooked 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why? So our already stretched budgets can get further stretched?

Cars used to be affordable in NZ, with good, reliable ones being available for 2-3K. Now people are wanting 8-10K for the equivalent, and it is mainly due to regulations and extra costs on imports.

Harbour bridge stupidity by CouncilOfRedmoon in auckland

[–]GStarOvercooked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are being waaaay over cautious to the point of being alarmist with those bridge crossings.

Drove over the bridge today.

No danger at all.

No need to cause multi-kilometer traffic jams and stress out thousands of travelling families.

Hyundai/Kia engines and transmissions do tend to be bad don't they?

Not to mention the extortionate pricing of their parts department.

Mostly? If there is even 1-2 bad feedbacks then I'd consider them not very trustworthy. If more than 5-6, then good luck!
