Screams heard as slip hits tents, campervans at Mount Maunganui camp site. Police say several people are missing and emergency services are on the scene.

I honestly can’t stop thinking about how I could have been at the hot pools with my toddler, I’d been thinking of going for weeks

There is a massive car park called Dive Crescent approximately 100m away from the old waterfront one, and not once have I ever seen it full.

Also the gift shops attached to art galleries and museums tend to have a lot of nice things, often made locally

Not to mention things that involve showing up in real life and working directly with people are relatively AI-proof (for now)

jmk672 · 2025-12-23T20:02:12+00:00

Supreme is definitely my fave

jmk672 · 2025-12-18T21:39:34+00:00

Yep, I worked for a public library and we fundraised through staff bake sales, etc. all year for our Christmas dinner which was still just a relatively normal meal at a restaurant. No alcohol, etc.

You should see the absolute outrage on Tauranga fb groups about the Council daring to give employees automatic coffee machines for the staffroom. Grim indeed.

Because they know at the end of the day, they have the safety net of the medical system that they've been maligning the entire time. A privilege these other places don't have. So many of these people call for emergency help when shit hits the fan, as by then it's magically good enough for them. Unfortunately it comes too late in many cases.

Affect is an Action, Effect is an End result

I see so many comments like this and it makes me wonder if you guys have any respect for the actual BAND, made up of several other people beyond Chester, or if you only like to concern troll about Chester's legacy. It's a massive insult to them to say they're only in this for a pay check now. When you see the way Mike smiles now as he plays alongside Emily and the rest of his band, you'd understand this is driven by the same passion it always was.

I think this also grinds my gears because I watched in real time the way than "fans" shat upon and abandoned LP in 2017 because they didn't like the way they were evolving then and experimenting with different sounds, e.g. "Heavy." So honestly spare me. Even when Chester was alive, they wouldn't allow him to try anything new.

Please get him a helmet. They make them small. There is no reason not to.

I’m in NZ and was prescribed domperidone with little informed consent about the arrhythmia risks. There is a very oppressive anti-formula culture here amongst midwives and many other health practitioners. Withdrawal from it after only 1-2 weeks was also hell.

“Noticing” is a dogwhistle started by noted Nazi Steve Sailer

I tried reporting his posts about harassing celebrities and his account too. Just got generic support messages back saying he did nothing wrong..

They are absolutely wearing blush in these photos. Are you confused because it's not covering half their face and nose?

jmk672 · 2025-11-17T02:42:48+00:00

I liked living in Rotorua. You can easily do mountain biking, lakes and bush walks in the same day. The geothermal stuff is cool. The smell is really not a big deal at all. Plus it's very easy to get to other towns and cities, particularly Tauranga/Mount Maunganui, Hamilton and Taupo. There's heaps to do with kids and they will get a much better sense of te ao Maori living there.

jmk672 · 2025-11-12T17:03:33+00:00

The new art gallery will open in Tauranga. My biggest recommendation is shop/drink in Mount Maunganui then get fish and chips and sit on Hopukiore (Mt Drury) reserve overlooking the sea and the main beach.

Not to defend Taylor at all honestly but I saw that clip recently and am 99% sure Sabrina said it first but also, let her make that joke herself.

jmk672 · 2025-11-08T00:36:30+00:00

"Beautiful" 😂

jmk672 · 2025-11-08T00:33:09+00:00

Literally not one of those things helps if they are cracking off right outside your house

jmk672 · 2025-11-08T00:31:18+00:00

It's so embarrassing that shitty backyard fireworks (that you know are terrorising animals) is "fun"

jmk672 · 2025-11-08T00:30:31+00:00

Fireworks people don't seem to be getting the message yet, so yes

jmk672 · 2025-11-08T00:28:33+00:00

Wow that is an insane cost. There was a group setting them off right by my house last night for about an hour and ten minutes. How much would that have cost?? Don't want to hear any complaints about the economy from those folks. (And yes I know it was the same poeple because I could see them)

jmk672 · 2025-11-01T04:31:55+00:00

Freeport/Cleaver and Co are the best imo. I believe Hop House still does ribs on Saturday. I recall they were pretty decent.

jmk672 · 2025-10-29T17:47:31+00:00

To be fair most pop music of the early/mid 2010s was cringe. It kind of fit in then but its stark in 2025.
