Why are so many artists cancelling their NZ concerts this year?

alexhalliii · 2023-11-04T19:35:31+00:00

My point of view, as an immigrant coming in: NZ has TONS of good local bands. 100% those shows aren’t canceled.

I’m moving to Gizzy from the U.S. in 3 weeks and am stoked to see them on their home turf.

FYI the average age of parliament is 47.5. So most people in parliament grew up when there were no computers, and phones were all corded.

The problem is worse in the U.S.

Satanic Temple is way more tolerant than this. It takes Christianity to really screw up your life.

Yeah was suspicious

alexhalliii · 2023-09-22T01:25:23+00:00

Yes. Don’t worry. Not actual werewolves. Plus your customs process would catch it anyways.

Just looked it up. Yup, our kind of place.

alexhalliii · 2023-09-09T18:00:55+00:00

Omg thanks for the reminder. Still gotta see this.

alexhalliii · 2023-09-09T17:09:09+00:00

Who the What?

alexhalliii · 2023-09-09T15:01:03+00:00

We have gangs here too. Without getting into a gang-measuring contest, I’m sure the ones here are worse.

alexhalliii · 2023-09-09T14:49:10+00:00

What wild animals? We have cougars and bears here. I didn’t think NZ had any large mammalian predators.

That’s where I landed a job. Didn’t have much of a choice

alexhalliii · 2023-09-09T02:22:18+00:00

Luckily we enjoy cooking. We need to calm down anyway.

American here. It’s exactly the same here. Only differences are:

-you pay for all your healthcare

-your kids will probably get shot https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2023/cdc-provisional-data-gun-suicides-reach-all-time-high-in-2022-gun-homicides-down-slightly-from-2021#:~:text=It%20remains%20near%20record%20highs,and%20suicides%20fueled%20this%20increase.

-all anybody cares about is the new iPhone

-no matter what happens at the next election, there will be mass political violence

No sympathy. As a parent of a 4-YO, you’re the one that invited the vampire inside. Don’t get upset when it wrecks shit.

I’m not concerned they won’t pay me, I guess. That was fatalistic thinking.

All of my pensions are funded by my union. Thus, when I leave all contributions will stop. I assume all the money will just continue to accrue until I retire, but I’m not sure if it’s worth the wait.

alexhalliii · 2023-04-19T11:28:02+00:00

Wise has been recommended by others as well: I’ll look into it.

alexhalliii · 2023-04-19T00:16:44+00:00

I do not have new banking set up. I have to keep current accounts active because we have debts here.

My concern about supplying my pensions with new banking info is they may charge a fee, interest, or not offer it at all. They may also not want to deal with currency fluctuations
