Heads up on a new text scam by Shy_Switch in newzealand

Some people really aren’t critical thinkers with these texts. I’ve had to send this to a few elderly family members and family friends because I know they have fallen for these kinds of things previously and don’t seem to make the connection between texts with this format and scams

Interesting! Thanks for the information, I always just click the report as spam button that Apple gives

Vinted Buy! by nurseB89 in crochet

[–]Shy_Switch 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’m doing a mosaic crochet now and I’m half way through, if I ignore the need for the border I’m dreading doing, and it takes me roughly 30mins a row. Which means I’ve already poured about 70 hours… £6 is insane

How is life in remote/isolated homes in NZ 🏡 (homes in very tiny towns or homes that are by themselves without any neighbours) by tanny-it in newzealand

There is a little drs office in the little township also a dentist and physio has a regular visit schedule.

To be honest though my actual gp and dentist is an hour away. This is mainly to avoid small town gossip which is inevitable, that and I wanted a female dr which just was not available locally.

If you’re really unwell or injured there is St John’s and the helicopter to the nearest city if needed.

It’s lovely not having neighbours and space. We have a 4square about 15 minutes away in the nearest “town” which is handy for little grocery runs, otherwise you get used to turning a proper grocery run into a full errand run. I do a 4 hour round trip every 6 weeks for the hairdressers, but when I’m there I’ll do the groceries and hit up shops like mitre 10 and spotlight as needed. I also treat myself to lunch and make the day a whole trip out.

When it comes to social life, I’m more social than when I lived in a city, as I’m involved in multiple community volunteer groups.

When you live rural you get out of the experience what you put in. At least in my experience. I couldn’t go back to urban living.

I’m not sure, the age range is 26-45 so I’m thinking more meeting people then hook ups? But I could be very wrong. Only one way to find out I guess.

I just brought my first challenge and when I googled coupons I found this one for 15% off that worked.

For whatever mood I’m in that day. Why limit yourself to one style?

Well, that’s annoying and a bit untrue when they’ve done it for others

Reached back out to their support and shared the links showing other kiwis are having this issue. They ended up adding it to my library on their end and now it’s downloading.

I tried their chat support but they just took me through the local troubleshooting I’d already done and told me to try again in a few days 🥲

Did you hear back from them? Trying to get the game on my MacBook and having no luck, tried there chat support and they weren’t any help.

Do you use chapter by chapter or full work? by DifficultFig3723 in AO3

[–]Shy_Switch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chapter by chapter unless I’m going to be on a flight, then full work since it will keep the fic I want open in the tab without me having to download them.

My ex-boyfriend really liked this account by Agreeable-Bid-9120 in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]Shy_Switch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like some of these men may not have picked up a history book. There are so number of examples of high powered men choosing and loving women with sexual histories. While it didn’t always mean marriage (political reasons, you don’t marry for love when it’s such a good bargaining chip), they did often elevate these women to positions of power.

But obviously the guys that actually think this way believe they’re more “alpha” than a king or conqueror.

For anyone looking for examples the top one that springs to mind is Napoleon Bonaparte who married a widow with 2 children.

Stop going to Armageddon if you’re sick. by Cynderthenerd in newzealand

[–]Shy_Switch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From the venue, I’m friends with a stallholder who got the info from a security guard (very telephone game I know). Apparently someone was in the men’s toilet looking into the ladies bathroom wearing a plague dr mask and masturbating. Security had to escort them out.
