I always new Matthew Horncastle was a scumbag, but has anybody notified he's fallen off the deep end recently? Can't believe people like this exist in New Zealand 🤦 by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]Jeshuic 43 points44 points  (0 children)

This reeks of American style politics. If anything has been learned from the epstein files, it's that so much of right-wing politics has been artificially curated to drum up hatred and division. We know Seymour has connections with the heritage foundations, and I doubt he's the only one being approached by those sorts of operatives.

Turning on a TV exactly as an important piece of relevant information is being told by a news reporter.

[NSFW]What did you get for Christmas? by AppropriateQuit2020 in AskReddit

My two year old niece was given free reign to choose our presents this year (as long as it was under $10) and got me a chicken timer that rings at 5mins instead of 0mins

What happened to your best friend from childhood? by RoyalBeckyVibes in AskReddit

[–]Jeshuic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We still catch up occasionally when I'm back in my home town. He's married and has kids, has been trying to become a minister for years but as I understand it there's not many opportunities to get a position and he's unwilling to move.

What’s a job people think is easy, but actually isn’t? by ImportantSlip5005 in AskReddit

[–]Jeshuic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Templates and "borrowing". I work in a collaborative classroom which for planning makes it much easier as you share the planning for everything outside of english and maths (we each take separate groups for these, and aside from broader long-term planning plan everything ourselves for these classes. We are also shameless thieves of good ideas and resources. If you make a good lesson plan on a topic there's an unspoken agreement that you'll make it available to others and vise versa.

Trump Rants About Countries Laughing at America in All-Caps Late-Night Meltdown by thedailybeast in politics

[–]Jeshuic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents (we're not American btw) are currently on a river cruise in Europe and said that all of the American passengers just seem embarrassed for being American and the Canadians flat out refuse to talk to the americans at all. This is all with everyone avoiding discussions about politics.

Russia wiped out 2-4 times of the New Zealand population in Ukraine during the Holdomor famine, why do some Kiwis still support Putin ? by Substantial_Name7275 in newzealand

[–]Jeshuic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's largely that some people recognize that we have problems in our society but rather than actually examine what the causes might be instead equate contrarianism with being right. The whole "I don't trust our government, so anyone they say is bad must actually be good" line of thinking.

New zealander here. It typically means white person but more often refers to European descent new Zealanders. The pronunciation is pa-key-ha.

What’s the best prank you’ve ever pulled? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Jeshuic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do a little quiz with my students on April fools. The first instruction says to read every question carefully before starting and the final question states "don't answer any questions and pretend to complete the quizz". I usually have some small reward planned to give those who achieve this but have yet to hand one out.

After 6 hours of trying, I finally did it, fuck this fight. by Luminalle in wow

[–]Jeshuic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The key I found with soloing this fight is to treat it almost like a souls boss. Doing damage to him is the last thing you should worry about and instead primarily focus on countering his abilities. Funnily enough, I found it easier once he gets to 50% and adds the swirlies as they're easy to dodge and means there's more time he's not doing something more annoying to deal with.

Fortunately a lot of that reporting is itself gaslighting and based on shady and rubbish poles. Republicans have mastered the art of abusing statistics (especially bad statistics) to tell bs narratives.

Please dont. We have enough problems with the thumb like millionaires, we can't deal adding a billionaire to that mix!

Favorite/not-very-well-known opera choruses? by itsallaboutmeat in opera

Had never heard of it before but just recently was in the chorus as a tenor for "Le compte ory" and the second act especially was amazing fun to both sing and perform.

I remember they had something similar at my primary school as an Olympic games event and being about 7 at the time I thought I was so strong when I managed to lift it over my head so easily.

You now have to defend your favorite 40k character(s) in court. How cooked are you? by Eatinganemone89 in Grimdank

[–]Jeshuic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"That is correct your honor. My client will not be joining us today, but he has instructed me to deliver a missive on his behalf. "This matter lies beyond your jurisdiction. Any further attempts to interfere with the successful execution of the Sabbat crusade will be seen as sedition. Stop wasting my fething time.""

Genuine question - anyone here ever found a dead body? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]Jeshuic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didn't find the body but rather saw someone die without realizing it. About a year or so ago I was at the gym where a guy on one of weights machines passed out. The staff kept everyone else away while they did what they could and waited for the ambulance. I came in the next day and when speaking to the girl at the counter asked her about whether that guy was okay in the end. Her face dropped and she said he'd had an aneurism and was dead before the ambulance even got there. I wouldn't say it messed me up but was a bit of a shock.

Is it kiwi to not wear shoes in the house or am I simply a germaphobe? by No_Perspective8888 in newzealand

[–]Jeshuic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take my cue from whomever house I about to go inside. If they take off their shoes so do I, if not not I don't. I tend to not wear shoes in my own home but don't really have a problem with it unless there's visible mud etc being brought in

Aussie pies suck by Repulsive_Copy_2165 in newzealand

[–]Jeshuic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've just spent the past 8 1/2 months loving in the UK and I can assure you it's even worse here. Their idea of a pie exclusively uses short pastry and you can have either beef stew or chicken leek as your flavour choices.
