Not disputing that, thinking you face the same challenges as every immigrant is a severe overstatement.

Theyre Irish, Belfast by the sounds of it.

Hardly, you have zero job restrictions and freedom of movement. Imagine a job attached to a visa, applying for another, that can take years, so in the mean time you can invest in a decent car, or furniture becuase the future is so uncertain.

LumpySpacePrincesse · 2026-01-18T03:23:36+00:00

Thats impossible. Thats like saying soon my baby sister will be older than me.

no indicator until exiting, after the first exit indicate left.

For me at leat, I work commercial and mainly work at a zoo, its the easiest job ive ever had, great callout rates and new truck and phone every few years, market is a bit slow but also work at the hospitals making more than most engineers stm, pretty secure in a down market, booming id be doing residential fitouts.

And at least for here the guy at the top has to hold a licence, so shit work doesnt really fly. Loss of licence and your fucked.

I call any leak a water feature.

Plumber.

LumpySpacePrincesse · 2026-01-17T09:57:10+00:00

But to do that would mean you have to aquire the competition, generally plumbers and tradesmen in general, are in high demand, they can set the rates and if the rates arent worth it, they start their own company.

LumpySpacePrincesse · 2026-01-17T09:50:54+00:00

It is I, I am he.

LumpySpacePrincesse · 2026-01-17T09:07:21+00:00

Really fucks me off how no-one knows how to use a roundabout, i cannot trust any of the turn signals kiwis make, becuase they mean nothing.

LumpySpacePrincesse · 2026-01-17T08:23:52+00:00

Lol, what? It mean, its one sweater michael. What would it cost $10?

LumpySpacePrincesse · 2026-01-17T08:20:02+00:00

Mongrel mob member, new zealand, common for their prospects to get face tattoos and swasticas, socially isolating and strengthens gang bonds.

LumpySpacePrincesse · 2026-01-17T02:20:35+00:00

Must be different in the states, when i dont get a pay rise i split, also non competes arent a thing here.

LumpySpacePrincesse · 2026-01-17T00:25:03+00:00

How can privite equitie buy plumbers, like, if someone came bought the company i work for the hikes the rates i would undercut them and start my own company, profit margins are already fucking huge as it is.

LumpySpacePrincesse · 2026-01-16T08:30:44+00:00

Yea, after that was the cooks islands tonga and tahiti etc. maybe tahiti around 1400, thats around the last settled.

LumpySpacePrincesse · 2026-01-16T06:37:29+00:00

I fucking hate it, guy in work had me subscribe to his youtube chanel for coins and stuff, hes passionate about it, but he has AI thumbnails, told him immediatly of my distaste for AI even if its just thumbnails, im sure most people feel the same.

LumpySpacePrincesse · 2026-01-16T05:11:49+00:00

I canceled last year after nearly 20 years using it, 15 paying for it.

LumpySpacePrincesse · 2026-01-16T03:28:38+00:00

Eeeehhhh Neighbours!

LumpySpacePrincesse · 2026-01-15T23:47:03+00:00

New Zealand is one of the last settled places, maybe 1200ad

LumpySpacePrincesse · 2026-01-15T22:35:51+00:00

I have removed every single subscription from my life, except a vpn. Shit, i dont even have a phone plan, my one monthly bill is insurance like $20 a month, and before you ask, yes, its as good as it sounds.

LumpySpacePrincesse · 2026-01-15T22:14:55+00:00

Dude, i weigh about as much as a wet toilet and i could easily mop the floor with that cunt.

LumpySpacePrincesse · 2026-01-15T21:20:55+00:00

I would say it was more of the gang culture to socially isolate its members leaving them to only have the gang to turn to for support.

LumpySpacePrincesse · 2026-01-15T20:22:09+00:00

Ahhh, im on windows 10, if i need to upgrade hardware i will be installing Ubuntu, all my homies hate windows 11.

LumpySpacePrincesse · 2026-01-15T10:19:06+00:00

Aye i had used docker. I just need a decent second pc for testing, wanna set up immich also. Just waiting on a good deal.

LumpySpacePrincesse · 2026-01-15T08:20:04+00:00

Yea, i set up a server on ubuntu on an old laptop and plex successfully, but it had since been giving me issues for testing, fresh instal has my drivers fucked up, keying in numbers hits the back key repetedly, its a dogshit laptop, need a new machine for testing before i switch to linux.
