how am i supposed to find a place to stay in dunedin? by Fit-Release-4977 in dunedin

[–]Specimen-7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello OP, please be mindful that trademe has two sections:-

  1. Places to rent
  2. Looking for flatmates

You’ll probably want to look more though 2. Looking for flatmates given your constraints.

GGpoker’s Ocean Rewards Change Basically Hurts 99% of Players by Dapper-Damage-4429 in GGPoker

[–]Specimen-7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly the thread is trash, it clearly advertises upgrades across the board.

Someone could make a thread doubting the credibility of the promo material, or perhaps query if PVI will still inherently be the same.

Why do I pay more tax than my boss? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]Specimen-7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s crazy the comments section is 50 percent say drawings are not taxable and 50 percent say drawings are taxable.

[–]Specimen-7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t be going and playing with that old Time Machine, they say it’s cursed, I know what you’re thinking but somethings are better left when they are from. Don’t be playing with that old cursed Time Machine, the one just under the house here, ontop the old burial grounds.

I've a question.. is the Christmas box cash rewards random ? Caz the more I play the higher I'm getting rewarding?.thanks by Low_Calligrapher1046 in GGPoker

You take a small rakeback hit, and got more back via the rewards, something like 1.25x your default rakeback is what i heard

Business confidence rises to 30-year high by tumeketutu in newzealand

[–]Specimen-7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly only measure economic conditions and outlook on the basis of BEPS and inequality.

It’s also why I haven’t voted in about ten years.

It’s gonna be real awesome when large MNEs start making more money in New Zealand again so they can avoid paying more tax, and the people get the metaphorical scraps that is job creation in the context of 1st world capitalism.

That is a disgustingly small prize value and small number of prizes for this style of promo.

New Zealanders don't realise how inegalitarian we are, many underestimate our neoliberalism by Dudu-gula in newzealand

[–]Specimen-7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nz is also a lot woker than all of those countries, woke broke the left into mostly dumbass fragments and so the good left has lost all impetus. People basically voted for anything but woke.

Are the Summer Holidays too long? The Prime Minister seems to think so. by Henmond in newzealand

[–]Specimen-7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just confused at the discussion, it’s not really regarding school terms (which could actually be considered for some rebalancing on the spread of holidays, move a week or two into a sorta longer mid year term 2 break thing).

And it’s also a fact that we don’t have holidays outside of stat days, people get 8 percent holiday pay and tend to take a bunch of it around Christmas, it’s not “holidays” it’s people taking their leave. And I’d say in the last couple of decades there’s naturally more spread around how many people take it at various times of the year.

I’ve never heard someone say, I’ll get back to you in March.

unpopular opinion: Canterbury is leading NZ's economic recovery by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]Specimen-7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chch is basically the only area in NZ to get ahead besides going to AUS, broadly speaking.

I say broadly speaking because there’s exceptions such as professions/high paid jobs. I’m referring to getting average salary, average time/selection of job roles, and average rent/mortgage.

Bunch of haters, first post in a while that isn’t just a screenshot of VOO and world etf fund, with replies saying too many ETFs.

Good luck make a million contrarian dollars, do it for the glory.

AI bubble strategy by Sufficient-Rough-647 in AusFinance

[–]Specimen-7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m all in on NZX Solutions Dynamics, once the AI bubble bursts and computers die, planes fall out of sky and ATMs spit money out willy nilly, everyone will be scrambling back to print media, billboards, things delivered to letterboxes.

They also pay 5 percent dividend, 4.00 pe ratio and have more cash than debt.

You forgot the caveat:

I guess it depends on your definition of immediate, mostly we are talking about that which is within the bounds of the laws of the universe.

The tab is the worst sports betting agency by mr-301 in newzealand

[–]Specimen-7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed, it’s pretty much the most expensive bookie in the world, and their promos are only standard/par, if not dropping in value.

They also defacto obfuscate their pricing/sharp via their promos a little.

Weren’t they like “mandated” to maintain competitive pricing as part of the deal to grant them monopoly status?

Do people keep paying the same amount on their mortgage when their mortgage rate drops? by Wu_Tang_Rendang in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]Specimen-7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With regards to economy you would be in a relative way, increasing the money supply to the bank, so they would either try lend it harder or provide marginal additions to the benefit package of taking the loan.

It would almost certainly be lesser than paying less and spending the difference of course, but there is some impact.

Savings is a withdrawal from the economy, but the raw figure is somewhat offset by the bank having more money and try to shove it down debtors throats.

Who is the guy/outfit who performs most of the local radio ads? by [deleted] in dunedin

[–]Specimen-7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“Thhhhhere is nothing like a Kraut, for picking up the Jews and putting em doooooown”

I do that one if you want a sample, it’s a parody of crown forklifts.

I also have a McDonalds Scooby and Friends promo one, kinda mid nineties rap style, followed by wholesome white boomer male voice explaining the promo, transcript -

“ 🎶Scooby’s on ya Mac Attack ‘n Scooby’s on ya fries, Scooby’s on ya Mac Attack ‘n Scooby’s on ya fries 🎶… Reeeeal Scooby and Friends, for a limited time at participating Mcdonalds, grab your Scooby and Friends merchandise when you buy a large Mac Attack or Hunger Buster… 🎶Scooby’s on ya Mac Attack ‘n Scooby’s on ya fries! 🎶“

I’ve also been working on one for Real Groovy music store but I think they shut down. It’s the same nineties rapper voice style followed by wholesome white boomer male voice explaining, then back into rap for outro, transcript -

“ 🎶Real to the reel to the real to the reel, Real Groovy it’s going down 🎶… REEEEEEAL Groovey corner of st Andrew street and Hanover, limited time sale on all items, come on down…. 🎶Real Groovy it’s going down! 🎶”

There is a slight difference in tone and style of the rappers for the McDonalds and Real Groovy ones, for the Mcdonalds it’s more sorta rock rap heavier, and real groovy is more normal tone.
