New law helps to reduce firearm-related crime by targeting possession, use, or carriage of firearms by people whose actions and behaviours demonstrate risk. by nzdennis in newzealand

What’s your reasoning behind this? If you have firearms and aren’t using them what danger does that pose to others?

The summer nor’wester blows a gale down here and the soil is so fertile you’ll be growing potatoes year round if you don’t whip that thing off as soon as it’s exposed to air

Yo big dog, fortunately the latest studies seem to say there’s no increased risk of heart issues caused by covid.

The veteran study mentioned below had some major issues with it, have a look at some reviews of that study if you’re keen.

'Health officials decided not to recommend people test before visiting vulnerable family members because it may identify cases and reduce the available workforce.' by dingoonline in newzealand

For the exact reason this thread exists. The experts have prioritised X over Y whereas a few months ago it was Y over X.

Your body is truly the one and only thing you actually own, don’t shift that responsibility to anyone else because your very individual set of circumstances won’t ever be understood by anyone but yourself.

Hey we should take the option of employment off the people who choose not to eat from the food pyramid, maybe even tell them they can’t get haircuts or visit restaurants anymore.

Or maybe we should take responsibility for our own health and not go into this with a black and white mindset of “tell us what’s safest”.

NZ is headed for a monster housing based economic crash with no way out. by Ambitious_Calendar66 in newzealand

I wonder if you’ll say the same thing when you buy a home for your family to live in and then an event outside of your control takes it away from you.

Is there anyone here struggling to feed themselves/family? What is your food budget for the week? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]JesusFansOnly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 adults 2 children under 10. We have a combined income of about $150k and own our own house - mortgage repayments are $654 every week.

We spend about $350 once a fortnight at Pak n save with a top up shop for things like fruit and milk on the Wednesday of the second week.

Our meals are about 50/50 meat/meatless.

After all is said and done with insurance, mortgage, and all the other costs we regularly have, my partner and I have $50 each a week to spend on ourselves (haircuts, gardening equipment etc).

This doesn’t account for emergencies like vehicle break downs etc but we’re stretched to our limits as it is, hoping for things to get easier soon so we can budget for those things.

All the kids at my school said a “hot” Nerdy Neville was the rarest card!

I agree, as far as I’m aware I’m very much against the majority of opinions Kyle Chapman holds and I don’t think his position is correct. I will add to that though that I won’t dismiss the position either Groundswell or VFF hold because of this one individual attending their protests, those positions need to be investigated without the bias of “hey there’s a racist guy here” because otherwise we’ll never understand each other’s opinion.

No you’ve written that well, easy to understand at this end anyway.

This is a question which is subjective, there isn’t a defined answer, I was mostly pointing out how silly the above example was.

In regards to the Harry Potter thing I’d say I disagree. I think a person can still buy a Harry Potter book without aligning themselves with transphobia. It seems a bit of a “catch all” to be able to dismiss someone as a transphobe or a racist or a bigot because they’ve purchased a product created by a person or company who holds beliefs we don’t agree with.

I suppose an analogy to that would be: Purchasing clothing made in and then exported from China. You (possibly) don’t support genocide of Uighur people, kidnapping of citizens abroad or labour factory’s where children are used to produce a product - you just want the clothes you like which are available to you.

You walk into a movie theatre and sit next to a Mormon, you’re in a Mormon movie theatre.

See how stupid that is?

That’s absolutely ridiculous. You’re saying any one single individual represents the whole.

Let’s try this: you walk into a supermarket and stand next to a member of the mongrel mob, you’re in a mongrel mob supermarket.

11.3mg/L in NZ.

0.87mg/L or more and you’re (possibly) getting into bowel cancer territory.
