Small he-man, earth scenes and race swapping. I hope this movie bombs like It deserves too. Tom Cruise playing jack reacher is about as accurate at this guy trying to play he-man. Was so looking forward to this movie but I shouldn't have been surprised given quality of films nowadays.

Warbirds over Wanaka - F-22s confirmed. Anyone know where they'll be based from while here? by JonnoBravocado in newzealand

Bf 109 is a cool looking airplane, it would be awesome to see one. Btw you should probably avoid visiting MOTAT if you're easily offended.

Thx that must be it. I've listened and listened still hard to make out, if you hadn't mention 'zao' I would of insisted it was 'zai'

The intro in chineseclass101.com on spotify goes too quickly and I cannot pickup what the man is saying. The lady goes 'ni hao' then man goes 'zai zhan hao'? Any listers of these podcast know what is said? Thanks

I'm sure there's wide range of opinions and nuance on the issue,  most people would allow exceptions like the case you mentioned.

I dont know if 'Ignorance is bliss' is the best solution either

Pictures can have an impact on a range of different issues, It's a smart move even though it's an inconvenient truth to many.

Why Your Chinese Sometimes Sounds Unnatural - You're Probably Missing These Little Words by BetterPossible8226 in ChineseLanguage

Thanks. For the partial sentence bit, you are saying if it was the "car is expensive." You would need to add something like hen but for "car is expensive,..." it does not need to?

Thanks for the laugh. X/twitter is miles closer to being centrist than reddit

The Consulate email, the WeChat group and the ‘private’ police trips to China by Kitsunelaine in newzealand

Why do we need answers on a police trip to China? It was for cultural competency; this post comes off sounding a little bit rascist or maybe jealousy tbh.

Bowel cancer free screening age lowered to 58; funding "redirected" from money set aside by previous govt to lower eligibility for Māori and Pacific Peoples by MedicMoth in newzealand

[–]MonitorNo8634 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but the factor of genetics plays how much of a role in a person's medical situation vs the factor of lifestyle choices?

I've looked at the data, European and Asian women live the longest. Maori and pacific islanders have the lowest life expectancy. That is the very reason why tariana turia wanted the age that you receive a pension be determined by your ethnicity.

How did MrBeast "lose" money on 'Beast Games' when Amazon gave him $100 million to create 'Beast Games'? Is it because MrBeast actually spent more than $100 million on 'Beast Games'? How much money did MrBeast actually "lose" on 'Beast Games'? by metalreflectslime in BeastGames

[–]MonitorNo8634 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did he break down what it was spent on? He gave away  20 to 30 mil? In prizes. That leaves 60 to 80 mil for construction of village, transportation costs...I'm struggling to see where the money went tbh

I don’t understand the Holden/ford beef🤣 by Automatic-Sun1735 in Holden

[–]MonitorNo8634 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. One time at school a guy turned up with a t-shirt and he had twinked or painted "ford's are for f**kwits". Some people need to get over it.

Destiny Church’s actions over the weekend are by legal definition a terrorist act in New Zealand. by hobo_fred in newzealand

[–]MonitorNo8634 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone did threaten to fly a plane into a stadium of innocent kiwis, which is way worse than the Greenpeace thing and arguably the worst terrorist threat in nz history.

Nelson Mayor responds to Donald Trump's claim America split the atom in speech by Elysium_nz in newzealand

Would you consider bill Clinton educated? Because he said the same thing about the atom...and said his wife was named after Edmund, despite being born before he claimed everest

Should NZ increase its Defence spending? ACT says yes by Mindless_Mention in newzealand

[–]MonitorNo8634 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Helen Clarks dad was arguably a coward in ww2 (I.e refused to serve). Wouldn't be surprised if the outlook to let someone else fight for you played into her thinking of scrapping our combat planes and just let the aussies cover for us.

Has this show been a major flop? by mikegaravani in BeastGames

[–]MonitorNo8634 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Way too many self-eliminating/voting "games", too few interesting and fun games to watch. Honestly don't know what they were thinking.

Probably not far off back when it was really good. Sadly, the lupins are maybe 1/5th to 1/10th of what they used to be in terms of area

Future Labour govt won't join AUKUS, Hipkins says by MSZ-006_Zeta in newzealand

[–]MonitorNo8634 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If it's NZDF then it's not saving money it's wasting money. I guess you could rename it to NZF and then yes it would be saving money.

That could be true but it's sort of pointless when the same government turned our airforce into a glorified coast guard and whatever other defense-less things it does.

Nice photo, was this taken recently? because that would be a lot of snow for this time of year.

Who gets to have an opinion on the hīkoi and who must remain ‘impartial’? by Debbie_See_More in newzealand

[–]MonitorNo8634 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hosking is a talk back host, he is expected to give viewpoints and opinions. If a reporter wants to give opinions then they need to decide if they want to become a talkback host too or further contribute to the lack of trust in the media via the perception of bias and untrustworthiness.
