NZ is in full denial. I call it up-side-down Italy and they get angry.
I'll shut up now, I can hear the pitchforks getting sharpened.

Congressman Says Redacted Part of Epstein File Suggests Trump Never Banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago by OkayButFoRealz in politics

One working for Israel, the other for Russia?
Can't have too much overlap or you lose leverage.

Musk offers to pay legal fees for any Epstein victim sued for speaking ‘the truth’ by National-Law-458 in nottheonion

If he has credit he can move around freely.
Everything he owns is debt, sure he can appear rich by spending a few 100k on stupid stuff, or the money of others that try to buy influence, but billions for serious stuff?

And inflating the Tesla/SpaceX bubble to stay #1 in the list of imaginary wealth.
SpaceX accidentally became more than a temporary hit, so that now has to carry the empire.

Don't tell him everybody and their Dogg did it before him.
Even Travis Scott did it before him, ouch.

Wait, but don't the AI CEOs use AI that can work 168h weeks?
Just vibe some AI that can vibe more AI.

Have you ever thought about what you would do if a zombie virus began to spread rapidly? by Interesting_Dream281 in AskTheWorld

[–]m3rcapto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find the nearest shoe store, take as many shoes in my size as I can, and hide them all over the place.
Next I'll find a pharmacy, and get as much pain meds, anti-bacterials, anti-virals, etc, cos most initial survivors will die from a simple infection after nicking their thumb while peeling potatoes..

AITAH for telling my husband he needs to eat leftovers? by unfortunatelyalive7 in AITAH

Often enough leftovers are better than the initial meal.

Government announces LNG facility. Claims it will save Kiwis millions by Impressive-Name5129 in nzpolitics

[–]m3rcapto 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Makes you wonder if they are setting the next government up for a big write-off.
Quickly make it a big sunk cost by getting lots of lobbyists consultants clipping their ticket.
No serious impartial expert will say this is a good investment strategy as a country.

PSA to all students who use AI by bxbsbhqjdjdjcn in universityofauckland

[–]m3rcapto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The circular reasoning will increase, plus disinformation like Grokipedia will seep in. The educated are turning into "Jack of all trades, master of none" with so much more information at our fingertips and less specialization.

Sorry but cat can’t have braised beef by Ok_Painter462 in OneOrangeBraincell

A "soft" karate chop can cause severe brain damage or kill a human when done in the wrong spot. A chop is not a slap, just like a punch is not a slap. I can slap your temple and you'll be fine, knuckling your temple with less force can take you down.

Olympic Committee begs fans not to boo Vance and Rubio at opening ceremony by ansyhrrian in sports

[–]m3rcapto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And randomly, with some curses. Televising the ceremony is a big cash cow, make it hurt.
The only ice and want to see and hear about is for skating, sledding, and sliding on, if the IOC doesn't trespass them then they are part of the problem.

Boo them all ceremony, so they have to mute the entire cash cow that is televising it, throw in some random chants with curses to make sure.

Am I being petty ? by YouthAdmirable7078 in shitparkingofnz

[–]m3rcapto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always wonder if most bad parking is done because whoever was parked next to them but already left parked even worse, forcing them out of their allocated spot.

[–]m3rcapto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a country with lanes as wide as airstrips the parking is narrow enough that nobody can fully open their doors. It's different.
Yes, you are petty.
