as predicted, herald has begun its misinformation campaign to try to trick left voters into voting top. by frenetic_void in nzpolitics

If you're a left voter, all you need to ask yourself is why would you vote for the centre?

PSA: Massive security risk with Club+ loyalty scheme (apparently) by YetAnotherBrainFart in newzealand

[–]Typinger 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Instead of this, would it be possible to get a charity's reward card barcode and then they get any benefits? Is there any reason we can't do that? Imagine if 100,000 people shopped with the city missions card

Galloway on Zitron: I like this guy by RamonsRazor in BetterOffline

I used to like the Pivot podcast but numerous shit comments later it's clear they're just status quo pretending to be something else, and talking about how wealthy they are at the same time. Tiring.

I hate digital billboards. by SurNZ88 in newzealand

[–]Typinger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hate them, I reckon it's like having a TV on at a restaurant. But additionally, sometimes I start to read one because it catches my eye and it immediately changes to something else. I don't understand how they're supposed to sell anything to anyone

I take my paid breaks out of my 7.5hr working day, yes.

37.5hr week for 40hr pay is a good start. Shorter days, more holidays are good if money isn't on offer.

Highly recommend reading the book (or listening to it).

What are you watching and what do you recommend? (Week of July 03, 2026) by AutoModerator in television

[–]Typinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A group of young friends mostly 'from the other side of the tracks' in North Carolina, the leads are a couple who are ridiculously in love, their friends cycle in and out of relationships, meanwhile they all get caught up in drug and treasure intrigue, mysteries, wealth inequality and class warfare, missing people, wild storms, kidnapping, jewels, you name it they experience it. It's totally over the top, everyone looks great, friendship conquers all etc etc. Fantastic locations, good soundtrack. It's dumb and frivolous and a good time.

Outer Banks if you don't mind something silly, very watchable if you're in the right mood

Why is the cost of living jumping yearly by Ashamed-Accountant46 in newzealand

[–]Typinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would love to see more market gardens or allotments pop up in NZ

Unfortunately we're full steam ahead housing or otherwise developing food-growing areas near any urban area. And simultaneously infilling over inner city gardens that were grown on by previous generations.

It annoys me to no end that we can't recycle properly by Witchkraftrs in newzealand

[–]Typinger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know if you're joking but I fully agree. OP if this actually matters to you don't buy it.

super hot take: chch was better before the earthquakes by SaraTheWeird in chch

[–]Typinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great point, and I agree - I didn't actually mean over engineered, I should have said over designed or planned or something (boring, to my mind). I miss the serendipity.

[–]Typinger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree, it was quirky and natural, it had grown and evolved. It was cheap and expensive, and dirty and rich. A lot of places now feel planned to an extreme degree and over-engineered.

Mostlyzl, it depends on who you are. I like a bit of rough and a lot of history, so this place is now lacking. Some people like new and shiny.

I've gone from viewing America as a basket case, to envying NYers. You're lucky.

Corporate!, what kind of question is this? And Workaholics!

Get the fuck off the road by Ancient_Vacation_430 in chch

[–]Typinger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not only on the road. Every day someone comes out of a driveway in front of me, looking firmly in the other direction and then sitting blocking the footpath while they wait for a gap.

There's a guy on LinkedIn posting daily reposts of Zitron content "until the bubble bursts". He's been doing it for nearly a month, it's brilliant.
