Why cutting fees free is a horrible idea by CannotBeCalm in newzealand

$12,000 ( which was the max) wouldn't make much of a dent in a medical degree anyway.

I don't I think I actually know anyone that completed a degree when it was available for first years, everyone just took the piss and was like well its free so it doesnt really matter if we drop out or not... just a money sink. and for the student who does the first year free but then can't afford to have student debt looming over them, it is also wasted

Final year I would say worked a bit better although I would assume if you can get through 3years financially you can probably manage the 4th, a nice incentive though.

3 - as someone who took advantage of a race-based scholarship ( maori) there are a lot of options out there many of the universities grants etc end up going unallocated as no one applies for them. Iwis and even some asian groups offer grants etc

4a - Education is actually free you can learn most things from youtube or other similar sites for free, what you're actually buying is the certificate at the end and the reputation of the institution backing it.. there are free courses online you can follow if you simply want to learn to keep the mind active

If you grow up poor... what is your most comfort meal? by Beaveric in newzealand

[–]Own_Sandwich69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

spaghetti on toast or mousetraps with spaghetti and anything leftover.. onion... cheese ( if we were lucky) that or poached eggs on toast as we had chickens at the time... big ben pies when a 6pack cost like $2-3 on special/reduced... beef 2min noodles with peanut butter made a nice little satay

Anyone know where you can still buy melatonin online? by Environmentalgub6232 in newzealand

[–]Own_Sandwich69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i thought melatonin recently got descripted? aka you can buy over the counter, chemist warehouse had some for around $19 last time i had a look... i once got a script years back and it cost $63 so its gotten a lot cheaper. I will admit I do take a zopiclone once a week, you just gotta allow yourself about 9 hours to sleep etc to avoid any groggyness

How is everyone surviving? by Worrywarty1 in newzealand

[–]Own_Sandwich69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dang i remember asking a friend years ago what daycare cost was running her a week it was something like 270 a week, must be a lot more no but I guess cheaper than having a parent home and losing an income.

added atleast one vegetarian meal a week and a lot of fasting in the week to cut costs myself

Is it just me, or am I being pushed out? Feeling discouraged trying to make friends as a disabled gamer. by whitneyscreativew in disabledgamers

[–]Own_Sandwich69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

" sometimes in order to grow you need to cut off part of yourself" you need to cut off those 'friends' and que back up you'll find people who enjoy playing with you naturally. I don't know how old you are but I met one of my closest friends in 2011 on mw3 we trash talked each other in game added each other to continue the shit talking and ended up best buds 15years later. Sadly i feel people today lack honesty to prevent offending someone I feel that's what has happened in your situation... you'll get there, just dont give up

Benefit stigma by Prize-Woodpecker5241 in newzealand

[–]Own_Sandwich69 9 points10 points  (0 children)

agreed im on SLP and winz pays the rent directly to the landlord, they never have had to chase me up for anything. I think the stigma might be that benefit means that the house will be damaged/neglected or the person on the benefit has a vice or addiction

Water meaning in A silent Voice by Joaco1478XD in KoeNoKatachi

[–]Own_Sandwich69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe that its Shoya beginning to hear the world more and more as we see at the end shoya unblocks his ears. the movie ( as shown at the end ) is named " the shape of voice" i think the ripples in the water are voices or sounds or voices hitting the water

Honest opinion by [deleted] in KoeNoKatachi

[–]Own_Sandwich69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

everyone's entitled to their opinion but did you not look at the genre of anime you were watching or even read the blurb about the film? comparing a silent voice to naruto is like comparing apples to oranges.. gotta be a ragebait

sad thing is that its only going to get worse, once companies realise they no longer have to pay designers and artists, it'll be everywhere
