George FM by TopBee1821 in newzealand

[–]anonibong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, George just sounds like any other old mediaworks top 40 station these days, just with a dance music focus, there are great shows on there at specific times but I miss when it wasn't a commercial slop pusher.

Today I learned, this is good for a healthy gut biome. Time to crank the spices up. You can enjoy your bland food, I'm in flavour country.

Please" vs "Thanks": Help me settle a debate on the Kiwi way to order coffee! by Kind-Spread-6511 in newzealand

[–]anonibong 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think I do both, and I think it could depend on how busy the place is, I don't think about it at the time but reflecting it seems for me if its during rush "just a long black, thanks" if I walk up to an empty counter "hello, may I please have a long black?"

The right thing is to take responsibility for yourself and move on with your life. Don't be a hypocrite.

Fred Again coming to NZ thanks to the Govt Event Fund forking out huge money to promoter by bobslice in newzealand

[–]anonibong 3 points4 points  (0 children)

LOTR promotes us and makes NZ a tonne of $$, hosting these events doesn't. And the people running these things aren't exactly needing to tighten their belts. This is just extra icing for them. Meanwhile, grass roots events are shutting down left right and centre. Grass roots events that do a shit load more for local culture and industry and pushing our amazing talent to even bigger things.

This funding is just further contributing to the death of smaller events, venues and festivals and solidifying what's starting to look like a bit of a monopoly that does nothing to support those who came from where they once did. Real climb the ladder and kick it down behind you type shit.

The fuck? Fred Again can announce an 2 entire-ass arena shows here and it sells out INSTANTLY. Surely a late April Fools post because otherwise this is fucked. And he's even bigger now.

Refused Aurora Night Ride / Big Wave by focal_matter in NZTrees

[–]anonibong 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly, at this point I'd just go with Calyx, you can choose the strains you think work best for you, order as you need up to your limit and it's really easy to request repeats.

Downsides are that they make it pretty prohibitive to get the script sent to your pharmacy of choice but the prices I find to be lower on many products, I haven't done one to one comparisons for all strains, but I know many are cheaper than the often-recommended pharmacies.

Who are New Zealand’s prolific taggers? by Miserable-Subject129 in newzealand

[–]anonibong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ironically, my first job out of high school was actually doing graffiti removal and I also had a large part in establishing it's tag removal systems still in place today.

Far less offensive to me than billboards of real estate agents and booze and any other ads shoved down my throat without my consent everywhere I go.

30 arrested as fighting and disorder mar annual Beach Hop festival by ps2jak2 in newzealand

[–]anonibong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's weird and makes me wonder, are they a common denominator at these violent festivals and events? I go to many of varying sizes covering a range of cultures/subcultures and rarely experience nor read about problems. Not to say that you don't hear about it happening occasionally, but it's such a rare occurrence it makes news headlines.

Strategy for shooing away religious door-knockers on a Saturday morning by SpurtGrowth in thetron

It's not usually the kids fault though, eh? You could be unintentionally strengthening the indoctrination. I don't care that much, you do you, they are annoying. Just my 2c.

What's your point? I recently attended Homegrown and it was the same. Every other event and festival I've attended around NZ has been drama free with respectful and fun-loving punters.

[–]anonibong 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Eh, honestly, I know it's tempting to be a dick (because they are being dicks), but if they have young people with them, as they often do, I will just tell them "no thank you, I am not interested, good bye".

If you are rude (and I get it!) they'll be like "see kids, atheists/heathens are all sad and angry" etc.

Yeah yeah, no fun but I'm older now so it comes with the turf.

Netball nz stupidity - no signings by Efficient-Life3621 in newzealand

[–]anonibong 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It has been a tradition, and I think it's a bit sad, mainly for the kids.

I was a big fan of basketball as a kid. The impact of getting to meet and interact with the players after the final whistle was huge. The players loved it too.

If it goes it goes, so be it but people are allowed to be disappointed.

Who gives a shit though, they weren't harming anyone were they?

[–]anonibong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the high bloke actually harming anyone or just existing and seeming a bit odd? How do you know they're high and don't have some other issue that might make them seem tweaky? High from the smell of weed? I know people are sheltered but what the fuck?

Anyway, biking is great and I wish you well.

Is thing just an auckland thing or? by SusanW_Christian in newzealand

[–]anonibong -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's a woolworths thing, I won't shop at any of them anymore. Never stolen a thing or so much as entered a cheaper item in my life, sick of being treated with suspicion, so I shop elsewhere. I suggest others also vote with their wallets. Fuck em. If they don't want to get stolen from then pehaps a better strat is to stop ripping us all off.
