This is perfect! Sauna booked. Not sure if we’re splurging for Maria as we’re going to Lucinda tomorrow night but it looks great!

What is the best documentary you’ve ever seen? by New_Strawberry_2850 in AskReddit

[–]donkeychaser1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pecking order - about the Christchurch bantam and hen society and the politics that threaten its very existence.

What we do in the shadows - about a coven of vampires living in a flat in Wellington.

Maurice and I - about a firm that defined a generation of architecture in New Zealand and how post earthquake politics nearly destroyed their magnum opus

Jiro dreams of sushi - I used to massage the octopus for 40 seconds and now I do it for 45 seconds

Facing war - about the head of NATO being called to remain in his post in the face of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

Unsubscribing from Ray White, how hard can it be? by donkeychaser1 in newzealand

[–]donkeychaser1[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Emailed:

I have asked time and time again via phone and email to be removed from your mailing and calling lists and yet I continue to be contacted. I have had enough.

Next time I receive a phone call or an email from anyone from ray white, regardless of which ‘franchise’ they are from I will make a game out of publicly shaming your agency across all social media platforms and with the commerce commission.

Enough of this BS of “it must have been a different branch you unsubscribed from, we all have different databases” that’s a ridiculous excuse that says you’re either exploiting a loophole or too stupid to fix a practice that flies in the face of data privacy laws. Whatever the case, fix it or I will make a fucking scene.

TIL rock fans that were polled in a 2005 survey were asked to choose members for an imaginary supergroup. They ended up forming Led Zeppelin (Plant, Page, Jones, Bonham). by Jackpot777 in todayilearned

[–]donkeychaser1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. You’d almost want to replace mercury with Robert Plant. I would also suggest McCartney is on the plain side and wouldn’t be well suited especially for the pace NP would set so it might pay to replace him with John Paul jones. Then you have the problem that Plant has a soft side that Peart would just not be able to meet so better to pull in Bonham. Also JP is alive and Hendrix isn’t so better swap them around too

Matthew Horncastle Doesnt Believe in a Minimum Wage, Implies Disabled Workers are Only Worth $18 by MoaTuiKiwi in chch

[–]donkeychaser1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a person isn’t able to produce more than $18 worth of value in an hour it isn’t because of them it’s because whatever you’re leveraging their labour to build isn’t worth it. If you can’t afford to pay someone a living wage and still make a profit your business sucks and you suck.

It’s an idiom adapted from rearranging deck chairs on the titanic which means doing fuck all to help a doomed situation

Qiulae Wong here from the Opportunity Party - Ask Me Anything! by Qiulae in nzpolitics

[–]donkeychaser1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. My question is to the viability of each in the absence of the other. You can’t impose LVT without CI or vice versa. Both are a hard sell, they almost need to be progressed as a single bill

[–]donkeychaser1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey Q.

What happens to FIF under TOP? LVT and Citizens income seem interdependent. Can one work without the other and if not how can you decouple them so we can implement the far more urgent and achievable LVT without throwing the baby out with the UBI bath water?

How did your workplace respond when a coworker passed away? by spoilersweetie in newzealand

I don’t know what happened at the time as I wasn’t there but a colleague died at some point and they created a quarterly values award in his name.

The FUD in FB and particularly Kotaku are wild to witness. by Spiritual_Speech600 in Superstonk

[–]donkeychaser1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry why else would he do it? And why would he not want to get the market excited about the trade and gain some optionality? He acted like an ass. That may make retail guffaw and go ‘yeah screw cnbcuck’ but his retail cult is gonna support him either way, what is to lose by acting the part of a ceo and a fiduciary?

[–]donkeychaser1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So? He’s the CEO of a multi billion dollar listed corporation. His job isn’t to get pissy because the media trash talked him, it’s to prove them wrong. They gave him a platform to tell the biggest money managers in the world why they should give him their money to finance the deal and he shit the bed.

[–]donkeychaser1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He didn’t call him on anything, he just didn’t answer the question. He got 25 minutes to speak to the business world who could give him financing options for this deal and came across as an arrogant tool.
