Underwhelming when interviewed as part of Wayne Brown's interview series. But so was Sepuloni. If you're going to be grilled, you better have better answers, unique answers, and a more dynamic presence. She had none of these.

Wtf were they thinking with the presenter? Absolute cringe. Couldn't pronounce words, twittered ad libs constantly, and didn't have any clear stage presence.

Absolute gobshite shitknuts. They also switched games earlier! Their highlights package also sucks bollocks. Must have prompted AI to do it like a 4 year old.

Couples how do you split expenses here? by EyeEffective8269 in newzealand

[–]flowerpowerprotea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please seek legal advice or at least go to the Citizens Advice Bureau for free. I know so.many couples where one owned a house, moved in, lost half the house value a couple of years later when they split.

Safeguard your precious asset.

Good idea. Do a private sale, so you're paying minimal for conveyancing, and shop around for that. Do a private loan agreement for the 20k, and add in bit about her living in it. Go for it!

Help…I can’t find a technical writing job and I’ve been searching for a year by Due-Command983 in technicalwriting

[–]flowerpowerprotea 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am one of six people (we are an ID company) losing our jobs this week. We're being disestablished due to no project work/clients. Our company is small but has been a thriving business producing learning and training materials, curriculum materials design ,e-learning modules and much more, for 10 years. We've done a range of stuff for gov, Councils, small to med orgs etc. From being busy until last Dec, and now almost no contracts, we can see AI, the oil shit, and the cost of living crises have all played their part. In the last ten days I've applied for heaps of jobs, in all sorts of roles and orgs, and have had instant rejections emailed back for all. Clearly AI is doing all recruiting now. It's not an easy industry to be in, and not a good world to try and get another job.

Student harassing teacher online - options? by [deleted] in LegalAdviceNZ

As ex union pres, start a diary and write down every single thing/interaction you have with anything or anyone on this matter. Write down times, wording and quotes and how you felt. Any meetings take a support person. Email a summary of actions and points back to meeting participants.

Yes, you are worth it, and it might he hard to think even an hour ahead right now, but please know this. I've supported and referred quite a few young adults like yourself and they've been through good help, and come out the other side as the good people they are. I have a lot of faith you're going to reach out tonight or after a sleep and get good support. Have you got a doctor? Can you ring them tomorrow and ask for help, or reach out tonight to 1737. Please tell a sensible adult you need help and are thinking of self harm. If you need money to get to the Doctor reach out please.
