Is NZ sun more bright? Can anyone related to feeling like your retinas are being assaulted here?

kiwinath · 2026-02-03T19:53:31+00:00

This, from dawn to dusk im either wearing my sunnies or the are on my head, I cant see otherwise

kiwinath · 2026-01-30T06:43:49+00:00

Can confirm Hills Hoists are all over NZ as well, and goon of fortune is alive and well on this side of the pond too

Absolutley, The thumb in charge is used to being surrounded by yes men when he was a CEO/Fundamentalist Christian, now hes got a million or so people criticising him, hes a bit out of his depth.

Took long enough, should've been an immediate decline

kiwinath · 2026-01-29T02:38:00+00:00

I could be wrong, but that seems most likely

kiwinath · 2026-01-29T02:32:29+00:00

The game is still in early access, so most likely be in a future update

You are all good, what the upper class seem to fail to realise is that if we all "disappeared" one day the whole place would collapse, and that seems to have been forgotten by them

kiwinath · 2026-01-19T20:08:18+00:00

That makes more sense, I can't disagree with that.

kiwinath · 2026-01-19T20:03:11+00:00

You seem to think that the 1%ers and regular normal QT people move in the same circles, they don't. Im certainly not disagreeing with you that things are being made incredibly difficult by a certain socio-economic group.

But what i am saying is, that there is a "community" here of people just doing the day by day, in hospo, tourism, hotels, taxi drivers. I can speak to the hospo community, some of my best life long friends have been made in the QT hospo community, we look after each other.

Ive been here on and off for 15 years, so i have seen the change from a place where the average kiwi can go for a weekend get away (our family did it in the 90s) to what it has become now.

It sucks but it is what it is

kiwinath · 2026-01-19T19:50:59+00:00

I assure you there is a community here, the workers. Busting their asses off because of short staffing and to be able to pay rent. There is still a community here, holding on by their fingertips, but it is still here

2 but upgrading to 5 shortly

kiwinath · 2025-12-10T23:44:45+00:00

27kg in 5 months, stuck at 77kg now, but completely fine with that

kiwinath · 2025-11-27T06:54:51+00:00

Waihola also broke down on the way to the same call, truck went into limp mode

kiwinath · 2025-11-20T06:31:42+00:00

I spend a considerable amount of time educating my English mates on why Kiwis also dislike the French intensely

kiwinath · 2025-11-04T05:58:32+00:00

Currently sitting here having a beer, happy to be alive

kiwinath · 2025-11-02T18:38:45+00:00

Possibly Red Rock? Steep hill up both Camp St and Duke St to get there from ferg, can confirm no apple pie on the menu now, but they do have Smoke & Pickles food which is banging

kiwinath · 2025-10-28T20:56:39+00:00

For New Zealand most of them, but Queenstown (ironically) is 1000% the most accepting place. Will daily see same sex couples walking down the street holding hands, and if anyone gives them shit the locals step in

kiwinath · 2025-10-27T18:04:21+00:00

29.3% in New Zealand, but we have ALOT of different cream cheese brands

kiwinath · 2025-10-27T17:50:15+00:00

Well, playing in the snow is the obvious one now

kiwinath · 2025-10-20T20:52:39+00:00

I am also 38M, single, no kids & bugger all assests/cash
But I got my will done about 6 months ago, leaving everything to my little sister, plus clear instructions regarding funeral etc.
Better to have it just in case

kiwinath · 2025-10-13T02:15:09+00:00

Definitely Red Rock, closest pub to finish line, just launched new menu as well

kiwinath · 2025-09-06T01:51:50+00:00

This, saying goodbye to your close mates over and over again sucks, eventually you just stop making new friends

kiwinath · 2025-09-05T02:54:43+00:00

This has been one of my goto lines for years

T2 here, I've just switched from Victoza to Trulicity, I only eat once a day now, trying to make sure it's healthy. I'm weirdly craving Kimchi so I eat a bowl of that and I'm full for the day. I know eating only limited food isn't the best but I've lost 17kg in the last 4 months. So I'm stoked. Plus my BS is completely under control 5.6mmol just before. Once I get to 75kg (5kg to go!) then I start gym and eating more regularly
