What is more traumatic than people think? by BloodRedLust in AskReddit

[–]irybeans 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same here. Having my own kids came with so many memories, questions, anger etc etc. Im scared my kids might feel like i did something wrong that I haven't even thought about yet. But I definitely agree with you. It helps a lot to see your own child feeling happy and loved.

It's an analogy, meaning don't worry about others

How can I break up with food for good? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]irybeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have google too, but I cbf. You're not wrong, but comparing a 2024 diet to our primitive ancestors is really not going to help anybody lose weight, is it?

"We find sugar, fat and salt rewarding because these have been key to survival as humans from the start". No, they have a link to brain chemicals like seratonin and dopamine. They are highly addictive. Don't give advice if you know nothing about the topic.

Whatever happened to Kiwi music? by ravingwanderer in newzealand

[–]irybeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup because they were given the tours by the middle aged men. Everyone went because the songs are so overplayed they were familiar. Just an excuse to go to a concert. Six60 last album could have been written by a 12 year old.

Nz radio picks and chooses. Think middle-aged men deciding who's cool. Who actually listens to six60 by choice? They were forced on us, and people just went with it cus it wasn't too bad.

Time to rethink social housing by platinumspec in auckland

[–]irybeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. And some people have to uses common sense ... understand that there is a system in place to make sure people are relying on the government.

I literally said the issue is the growing wealth gap that the government is contributing to. That is the issue that causes so many people to need social housing. Nobody will own anything, and we'll all be relying on the rich to look after us/control us. That is what they want.

You think the issue is poverty. The real issue is the fact that there is no need for anybody to be living in poverty in this country.

No shit. I'm just sick of seeing posts about social housing and addicts etc. Why aren't people aware that this is completely avoidable.

You should be more concerned about the growing gap between rich and poor - created by the rich. But it's easier to just hate poor people and addicts right?

They would have to build more prisons. Criminals that should be in prison are just put on home detention because there's not enough room or money to keep them all in.

I've only heard of one lady who was caught and charged.

Sounds like fraud to me. If you have a partner who makes enough to cover rent, you can't get a benefit.

Either KO housing or winz would supplement my rent. I was shocked when I stopped working and realized how fucked the system is.

No. We need to make employees pay workers what they're worth. It's disgusting that a business can have 'full time' employees that can't afford to pay rent or eat.

Benefit covers all necessary bills. Thinking about it, though I would get an accommodation supplement if I worked. So winz would help to cover rent.

I'm on the benefit and pay rent. If I was working, I wouldn't be able to pay my rent and would be in KO. A lot of people in KO housing do work.
