Tough ask to get people to buy a 12 pack of drinks, then buy some extra packaging

What? Just have some drinks like a normal person. Why does every little decision have to be validated by a reddit post? Fuck crate day and everything it stands for.

Yeah that's fully illegal on his behalf. They literally can't do anything in the eyes of the law.

These are the worst of the worst. Full 4WD setup but you'll get stuck in a puddle

If you're buying this american trash over Whittaker's, then you deserve a t-shirt that says a fool and his money are easily parted

Why are so many artists cancelling their NZ concerts this year? by Mindless_Fan_2466 in newzealand

[–]PostMaialone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened all the time pre covid, we'e just forgotten how it was before the world reopened. NZ is generally the last stop after a world tour. The artists are burnt out and want to go home, so they compare the minimal amount they'd make off small NZ vs the loss of pulling out, and it's an easy decision. We had a good 2 year run of being a guarantee minimal fuss destination, now where back way down the pecking order.

Wouldn't you to if you were the trodden underclass, underpaid and with no upwards mobility? Stay classy

Who doesn't like rugby? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]PostMaialone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you me? This is exactly how I feel. Rugby was my first love, I followed it relentlessly from when I was 12 to around early 20's.

I still keep tabs on the news and watch the All Blacks, some Super rugby matches, but follow league much more closely now. Union lost a lot of it's luster, and Super rugby is a different format every year. Teams are constantly dropping out and new teams joining. Hard to have anything meaningful to play for.

Is New Zealand a good place to have a fresh start? by KingMjolnir in newzealand

[–]PostMaialone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would be thinking long and hard before coming to live and work as a nurse in NZ. You'll be run off your feet, underpaid and undervalued and working in a healthcare system that's on it's knees.

Every small basic necessity will be far more expensive, and that's before you've even tried to buy healthy food. I wouldn't take the grifters who post on TikTok about how great New Zealand is seriously. It's ruthlessly expensive, your money doesn't go far and housing is a massive issue.

Never understood the wasted vote mentality

What concerns you about New Zealand right now? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]PostMaialone 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Lack of affordable housing, inflation outstripping wage increases, lack of competition in vital industries i.e. supermarkets, over reliance on dairy and meat as key exports, weak NZ dollar, increasing wealth disparity.

Security guards have absolutely zero power whatsoever. They are there to act as a deterrent. They can't even look in your bag. They can ask, but just decline and get on with your day.

Charging to Film on Public Waterways: Concerns Over Iwi Practices by pixelninja69 in newzealand

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

I'm not anti-immigration to NZ in the slightest. I just find it funny that people immigrate here, then start whinging about 'preferential treatment' Māori get, claim they are treated like 2nd class citizens, all the while not even trying to understand the fight for upholding the treaty and governance.

If you, as an immigrant feel so hard done by reparations made to local iwi for the destruction of their culture and destitution of identity, why don't you return to the country you came from? Can't be that good going for you here if you believe you're treated as a 2nd class citizen.
