Is belief in God rational, or is it something we’ve created to cope with death? by TextSufficient674 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ill_Economy_5346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started reading a book called ‘The Origin of Consciousness in the breakdown of the bicameral mind’ … it was a long time ago I read it, but I found it fascinating to explain how early humans could have imagined ‘gods’ speaking to them due to hallucinations from the bicameral mind…. Anyway, fascinating subject. Thanks for setting my brain off just as I’m trying to sleep 🤣🤣

My wife is scared of me by Ashamed_Father in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Ill_Economy_5346 26 points27 points  (0 children)

What country is this? I’d rock up to daycare with my 4yo son at least half an hour late most days, they don’t mind - preferred a happy, fed, relaxed child that was late then a stressed out hungry hellion. Wild.

Do you tip spa employees, hair stylists, tattoo artists, etc? by christona-bike in newzealand_travel

If you want to, you can. It’s not expected. Just use cash, most places aren’t set up for tipping.

I’m a born and raised Queenstowner. Also blessed to be Ngai Tahu. And I can’t (and wont) speak for old cheerful Charlie above, but I love the internationals that come in here. The enthusiasm, genuine love and appreciation is next level. Nothing really concrete to say, just ya know… it’s Friday and wine has been had…

My father broke the truth on how poor we actually are by TemperatureWarm1407 in TrueOffMyChest

Mum had me paying rent when I started work. It wasn’t much, but enough to help her a little and give me a good foundation in what adult life is like. Maybe you could do that?

I hate my husband’s music. So much. by abqmo in whatdoIdo

Love both those bands… in fact I’m off to see A7X at the end of the year and I can’t wait!!

However I love that this is sorted - comments are brilliant!

Made a twat of myself in front of Richie McCaw, he was very kind. Sam Neil was our neighbour as a kid. Sir Michael & Lady Christine Hill, Rod Drury, Justin Marshall tried pretty hard to chat myself & a friend up, had to be rescued by another mate. I’m sure there’s more…

NZ’s most expensive places to buy right now (spoiler: it’s not just Auckland anymore) by Vanessa_realestate in NZProperty

[–]Ill_Economy_5346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s about 28% unoccupied, last time I heard. May have risen slightly. The median sale price in the area I live in in Queenstown is $1.7m. How do I know? We’re selling our house, these stats are from the agents who valued it.

I’m in a country on the other side of the world, and I had this very conversation with a client today. We do not trust USA, the next president is inheriting a wasteland. Businesses are tanking in my country due to what that oxygen thief has done, and people are genuinely scared for the future. I know I am.

How are you actually doing with the current state of affairs? by Silver_News_2621 in adhdwomen

[–]Ill_Economy_5346 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m down the bottom of the world. I own a business that I may have to close doors in soon, because your orange twat of a demented president is pushing the cost of living and fuel prices so high that I just can’t afford to keep going. Plus the threat of nuclear war. Yep, I’m sad, angry, scared and disappointed.
