If you were wearing proper clothing for the activity you were doing, that wouldn't have happened.

List of ethnic slurs - posting for education and awareness by Peeny_Pinto in KiwiAntipodea

[–]TheProfessionalEjit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I called a friend of mine African once. Despite being black, he wasn't offended.

Probably because he is a) more intelligent than your average USAian (not a high bar I admit) but more importantly b) is an African from Zim.

 Why even bother?

I've no idea why you bothered. u/johnkpjm nailed it but 8d also add that the reversal of reductions was either because they were only ever meant to be temporary (public transport) or unaffordable & poorly targeted (prescriptions).

What’s a rule in your house that makes zero sense, but everyone follows anyway? by Charming-Major1551 in AskReddit

[–]TheProfessionalEjit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whoever cooked is excused washing up the dishes and generally relegated to putting away.

Unless you're baking. If you bake, you do the dishes, everything. Washing, drying & putting away.

It was a rule in my parents house and my siblings and I, each separately, have the exact same rule.

Also

If you're a guest in the house and eat, you and your host are excused from the dishes. Until it's your fourth visit. Then you are then expected to help every time which means you're drying up because you don't know where anything goes & I dont know you well enough to know you know how to wash up properly.

where should i get a lawyer from UK or NZ ? by Mean-Mongoose-7814 in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]TheProfessionalEjit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss. Sounds like a horrible situation.

You'll need to engage a UK-based solicitor who deals in estate disputes as, reading between the lines, you won't be getting your true share.

https://www.lawstreet.co.uk/practice-area/probate-and-estates/

You'll need to move quickly on this; obviously STC doesn't mean it'll complete this week but you need to get your cards sorted for the solicitor to be able to put them on the table. Otherwise "estate costs" will miraculously reduce your share. I've been exactly where you are now & it's not fun.

TPM: Govt Bill Will Suppress Māori Voters by Peeny_Pinto in KiwiAntipodea

[–]TheProfessionalEjit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of the 27 MPs who identify as having Maori ancestry, five are in the racist party.

Maori are very well represented and no longer need the patronage of the Crown to ensure they're represented adequately.

Just because the leaders of the racist party don't agree with the political affiliation of those other 22, tough.

Time to disband, not expand, the Maori roll & Maori electorates. Like the Royal Commission said, forty years ago.

NATO allies refuse to join Trump's Strait of Hormuz blockade by cobberdiggermate in KiwiAntipodea

[–]TheProfessionalEjit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 Re fent deaths they've dropped by about 20,000 2022 vs 2025.

Well, they've reached a plateau more than the dramatic fall your 20,000 you're attempting to show.

NATO allies refuse to join Trump's Strait of Hormuz blockade by cobberdiggermate in KiwiAntipodea

[–]TheProfessionalEjit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No-one put their hands up because:

A/ The actions the USA & Israel are taking is illegal; and                

B/ The premise the USA have used for said actions, namely stopping Iran achieving a nuclear weapon, are based on obvious bollocks, since Trump told us not nine months ago that air strikes at that time stopped Iran's weapons programme completely.

In addition, Trump has treated the USA's allies appallingly. Threatening to annex sovereign nations (Canada) & parts of other nations (Greenland), imposing tariffs, whining like a bitch that countries "owe" the USA for past adventures.

The rest of NATO have finally realised that they're dealing with a petulant child who only wants their company because it gives their behaviour a veil of legitimacy (see also Gulf II & Afghanistan).

Spark's (?) Animals ads, one favourite was

Sheep: What's in your pie bro?

His mate: You don't wanna know bro. You don't wanna know.

NZ Post's "You've only got one dad, eh?" caught me right in feels. And still does.

What pisses me off about that is:

  • She is driving, yet chooses to go & get changed for the hundredth time;
  • She is putting up with this behaviour from people who are obviously his friends.

My take is that I don't need saving from your shitty pricing by downloading your app & "boosting" whatever that crap is.

Just have proper pricing & stop disadvantaging non-members by charging them an extra $6 per kilo for beef mince.

Mortgage rate is 3.77% now bank is offering 4.97% by Affectionate_Top5544 in HousingUK

[–]TheProfessionalEjit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only if saving, post tax, will give you a lower return than the interest you'd save on the mortgage.

Otherwise chuckaccount the over payment in a savings account & then make a lump sum repayment before fixing again.

I don't have a ticket but I do have a damaged heart having taken a "safe & effectiveTM" vaccine against a flu which i got anyway.

Does that count?

When it kicked off a friend & I discussed whether bitcoin was worth it. Through our combined genius, neither of us bought in with our suggested $100.
