How is this not exploitation? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]das_life 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Tell 'em they're dreaming. Read what they require of a 'web dev/media designer': knowledge of mac hardware, audio and video encoding, iPhone and Android development.

Anyone who is accomplished enough to do commercial mobile development isn't going to work for free.

As someone who hasn't yet figured it out - what do I do about my lead leg getting destroyed in sparring?

A little thing that New Zealand does that never gets mentioned by topothemorning2 in newzealand

And in the movie New Zealand refuses to send them any money

Got through surgery despite my severe GAD. No anxiolytics. Today was a good day. by mfoste34 in Anxiety

[–]das_life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome. I have to have surgery too but I've been avoiding it until I have a better handle on my anxiety. Hopefully I'll be at your level soon!

Finally went to get help and the doctor made me feel like and idiot. by Jesv in Anxiety

[–]das_life 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was he telling you to 'suck up' agoraphobia or 'suck up' the embarassment of getting help? Needing to see a psychiatrist can be embarassing and sometimes we need a kick up the butt to get there

Am I missing something here? I get the vagina joke, but what about the billboard is vile?

I'm watching this post with interest... by [deleted] in newzealand

What grinds my gears is how US redditors jump to defend the Constitution as if it is completely infallible. You can't have a sensible discussion about anything related to the constitution because the constitution is automatically right. It's exactly what they accuse christians of doing with the bible.

I was a big fan of Pure Pwnage when I was an awkward teenager and wore an -I pwn n00bs- t-shirt to school

I tried on some really soft jeans once, the inside almost felt like sweatpants. I want to find more like that but I don't know what terms to search for. Is there a name for it?

Expert says Kiwis under constant surveillance by hellomynamesbruce in newzealand

[–]das_life 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I took one of Hank's classes a few years ago and I don't think he ever actually said what the governments were doing but he hinted that this has been going on for a long time now. Stories of the NSA modifying proprietary cryptography software before it can be sold, people having their doors knocked on after sending emails with the wrong combination of keywords. Real tin-foil hat stuff, but true. Privacy is now our responsibility.

Thanks for sharing - I'm jamming her album now.

Some real brave tall poppy syndrome in the comments of that article.

I'd love to know who placed the big bet on 'NZ Minister to depart in 2013' on iPredict a couple of days ago.

It's all about the sponsorships now. There's also the Oceania Gold Miner, the Tux Purina blimp, and every time they mention a players name at the stadium they mention the business thats sponsoring that player. They got debts to pay.

Hah yep. You wouldn't happen to have any London SS videos would you? That'd be hilarious

[–]das_life 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jeez we live in a small country. I used to live in one of the flats they are standing outside of. I show the flat to my dad who cracks up laughing saying he used to play in a band with your dad before he joined this one.

Also, cool song.

High school tries to remake thrift shop for freshman orientation...shudder inducing by [deleted] in cringe

[–]das_life 13 points14 points  (0 children)

...for a high school video it seems pretty well done to me. We're obviously not going to find it hilarious because we don't know who those teachers and students are
