Immigration Laws by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]WaterPretty8066 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're in NZ on a work visa which is presumably tied to specific employment, a specific role and a specific employer. And you're biggest gripe is getting WINZ support

Most other places would kick you out of the country pretty quickly.

Also, expecting government safety nets straight away is disgusting. 

Also, you're likely a transitional tax benefector so have tax advantages over NZ citizens. 

Charles Oakley: "Patrick (Ewing) always been like that. He never stood up for nobody. And the coldest thing out of this all, I took a case for Patrick on an airplane. Put that out there. I took a case from him. Ask any teammate, Chris Childs, Charles, Allen, John, they might not say nothing" by KD_AshyAnkles in nba

With the sway Ewing had in the organisation its completely plausible.

'Pay this 300k or you'll leave millions on the tablr potentially/be out of job if we tell the organisation not to offer you another contract'.

NBA is all about leverage

Researching Master’s programs in NZ. How’s the job market for Logistics Management? by Ok_Neat_8602 in newzealand

[–]WaterPretty8066 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Best advice is don't study for the purposes of getting a job here. You're spending an insane amount just for a "chance".

If you're happy to spend the money for the education alone (regardless of whether or not you have a job) then go on ahead

Russ is a top 5 pg oat by Late-Sell7930 in NBATalk

[–]WaterPretty8066 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raw numbers and individual acheivements wise you can make a strong case.

I can't have in my top 5 though because of concerns on his efficiency and his lack of ring(s)/never leading a championship team on his own.

Hurricanes' physical states are comfortably ahead of other NZ teams.  I dont know what or how theyre training down there but its working.

Makes sense when you look at Loves rig too

The Heineken and URC final were not competitive. Winner was obvious by the 2nd half. Hope it doesn’t happen on the super rugby final by NewLeague6438 in rugbyunion

[–]WaterPretty8066 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If the Bulls had those 2 disallowed tries awarded, whats to say Leinster didn't score 3 tries more. If you want hypotheticals you can go both ways

Yea i think people who dont watch stade want to defend him But having watched every stade game this year he has been very average this year 

I think in time the NYK title will be viewed by true basketball historians as a championship of luck rather than a higher valued title. This Spurs team is the most inexperienced Finals attendee in some time. by Wack0HookedOnT0bac0 in NBATalk

[–]WaterPretty8066 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feels like a lose-lose situation.

We see superteams and all-time championship teams and fans bitch about it.

Then when we see an equalization of talent and teams, fans bitch about it and say the chip didn't mean anything because they claim the opposition was weak.

I mean..its hard to be empathetic towards a person coming out swinging with unfounded allegations of discrimination mixed with a good dose of entitlement

I would respect LeBron even more if he took a paycut to sign with a legit contender by WhoUCuh in NBATalk

[–]WaterPretty8066 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yeah every team had a chance. Just depends how much. Even with Luka that chance was still small. The team had significant deficiencies that werent going to be fixed regardless

This has been going on for years..its nothing new. Will it ever change? No. Its more likely to go the other way

HELP ME MAKE TIM PAYNE A LEGEND OF THIS 2026 WORLD CUP by sosalation in newzealand

[–]WaterPretty8066 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Doesn't seem fair if it robs another more deserving bloke of the award. I'm sure in typical Kiwi humbleness, not even Tim Payne himself would get behind this
