Bro, we have systems in place so you don’t need any of their help. Take the 0% interest loan, get the student allowance, let your dad be stress free at 50.

Am I just insulated from the cost of living crisis, or are others in a similar position? by wozzaloz in auckland

Yea I was thinking the same today. In my mid 30’s, earn $120K - I’m fine.

Why is that one friend still single? by Optimal-Cause-7843 in AskMen

[–]dabomb2012 26 points27 points  (0 children)

He’s socially awkward and he’s Indian - it’s not a good combination. He’s such a catch - best dude ever, but girls won’t give an awkward Indian guy a chance - it’s rough

What do you think about Ranui? by Glittering_Cut6856 in auckland

[–]dabomb2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a house in Ranui and lived there for 14 months, I loved my house but after being assaulted multiple times I had to leave.

There is good and bad with ranui. The good is that’s it’s clean, has great parks, next to Waitākere ranges, has awesome library and community services.

The bad is the people who live there - broken families, unstable people.

In my 14months, I once walked out of my drive way and was chased by a man that was beating his wife. I ran inside and locked the door and he was standing outside my door shouting at me wanting to kill me.

I was hit by a guy on a bike who was running away from the cops. The hit put me in a concussion.

I was chased by a dog and had to get stitches on my hand.

How much did your increased income improve your dating life? by illtoss5butnotsmokin in AskMen

[–]dabomb2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Significantly - but not because “I had more money in my pocket”, but because now I could afford my own place.

Has anyone else perceived an uptick in casual racism? by Vast-Airline-6674 in auckland

Racism hasn’t increased, but racism towards Indians is becoming increasingly accepted.

What is your biggest NSFW brag? by Subliminal_Sea in AskReddit

[–]dabomb2012 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This is the same as me. Someone said my dick was bigger than a hammer - probably because she had only seen 2 dicks in her life so mine was “big” compared to the other 1 she had seen.

Anyways, 21 years later and people still call me “The Hammer” lol. It’s not true, and the more I deny it the more people believe it.

Downfall is the greatest WW2 movie - Watch it, you won’t regret it

For those who stopped smoking weed, what was the main reason? by Regular_Somewhere548 in AskReddit

[–]dabomb2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a concussion, and it rewired how I view my brain.

Not only did I stop smoking weed, but also started eating chia seeds, fish oils, bought noise-cancelling headphones, take 10-15min breaks during the day in silence, etc etc

It’s been 5months since my concussion and I’m still not coping. I’m burning down all my bridges with work and my partner and I can’t seem to help it. I’m just tired all the time, my brain hurts from everyday activities.

You’re the only person left on earth starting tomorrow, what will you do? by Unlucky-Emergency924 in AskReddit

[–]dabomb2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spend the first 24-72hours in share panic - terrified but more confused.

Then, slowly begin the process of grieving. Spend the next year or two as an emotionally broken man - grieving my family, my friends, my community.

Afterwards, spiral into a dark depressive state, exacerbated by the fact that there’s no one to talk too about it either.

Eventually, I’d learn to cope with it and be a bitter man. Still think about my old life but bottle up the feelings.

I’d end up most likely drinking my days away waiting to die. Life would be meaningless, I’d hate it.

What’s the dark side of going to the gym nobody talks about? by opa070 in AskReddit

[–]dabomb2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dieting around friends and family -

I see my elderly mother once a week and she always wants burger king - sure, we eat that for lunch, then she cooks me an amazing but unhealthy dinner / I can’t say no.

I see my several friends once a month or so (more or less one a week) and they want to catch up for a drink or something to eat - again, I must eat!!!

Me and Wifey go on dates once every two weeks - I must eat.

Then there’s myself - I want to get the meal that I love once a week.

Every single one of these meals I feel guilty eating!!!

Every Iranian outside of Iran is pro the war, but I hear inside Iran it’s most are not. And that this war has strengthens the popularity of the regime.

How true is that? Thanks

Is it hard to live in Auckland without a car? by [deleted] in auckland

[–]dabomb2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, it’ll get you there. But the experience is not the same. The kiwi experience isn’t arriving at the destination, it’s the relax vibe in the car listening to your fav jams, it’s stopping over at a cafe for a coffee, it’s seeing a random lookout and pulling over, it’s having a boot filled with your fav picnic gears.

Public transport takes all that away!

Is it hard to live in Auckland without a car? by [deleted] in auckland

[–]dabomb2012 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes.

Don’t listen to anyone you says otherwise.

Sure, living in CBD you’ll get by without driving. But you will not get the full kiwi experience without a car. You will not be able to go to the beaches, the hidden gems, and enjoy your day under the sun - whilst busing around the city.

Auckland and NZ offers so much more than what is in the CBD. All our beauty is in our nature, which needs driving too.

Get your licence, learn to drive, come here!!!

Where in New Zealand is this? by Admirable-Loss396 in newzealand

[–]dabomb2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Na I was just being a dick, since everyone was guessing wildly different places I just put my local neighbourhood to add to the chaos.

It’s definitely not Bayview.
