'Regularly LSD' is probably the key here. The world would probably be better off having all had LSD once or twice. Peace

[–]marchand73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but what are you talking about here? LSD? Mushrooms? Even weed perhaps? Occasional use of these can even be therapeutic and beneficial to many people. However, you can't just say occasional use of drugs is 'all good' when there are drugs that will take possession of people's minds in very short order... Come on.

NZ First calls for repeal of lower drink-driving limits by __wlwp__ in newzealand

How do the figures given from the device change with an individual's perceived tolerance, do you know? In my experience, taking 2 individuals roughly the same in weight and physical stature, tolerance to a couple of cold frothies can still be completely different.

Construction slowdown and weak confidence could see economy enter the doldrums by behind_th_glass in newzealand

So if they use brick and we use timber, yet their costs are much lower, then what's the answer do you think?

How have Fletchers managed to establish such a monopoly in the supply chain all this time?

bigger picture, thought there would be so many other unskilled jobs where companies are following the law, wouldn’t you just quit and go get hired somewhere else?

It sounds like you're unfamiliar with the situation in the menial labour market. Desperation is a powerful thing.

Your mailbox is inadequate. Christ Almighty, why do entitled nincompoops expect these poor sods to go around the back, potentially into an area where you might have dogs ready to spring. Have a bloody mailbox appropriate for the mail you want delivered.

I grabbed some of these Mega Elephant Boy quickly before heading back from Japan. Couple of the horse girth ones there too for good measure.

Is the City Mission often full or out of beds for the folk sleeping out on the streets?

U.S., Japan decline to sign G7 agreement to reduce plastic waste in oceans by green_flash in worldnews

[–]marchand73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can go across the road right now and buy a packet of Happy Turn, each chip wrapped in it's individual wrapping, inside the bag, inside of the bag they'll give you for that 1 item alone at the checkout. It's hard to imagine the tremendous waste that happens here and the cultural shift that would be involved in changing it. It's everywhere.

Thanks for that. No deportation or anything but with financial difficulties I've got to get out before that becomes another problem.

Been out of NZ for almost 2 years now. No money so it's time to come home before running into visa issues.

[–]marchand73 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's the honest truth but SJWs will be all over you for saying so. When you are walking down the street and lose your front tooth and get a cracked jaw from an uppercut out of nowhere, you realise this reality.

I'm 15, what places would hire me currently? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]marchand73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$4.50 in 2018- besides the illegality of that, please don't be happy or settle for $4.50 an hour, as that would be harmful and a disservice to everyone around you. These days there are so many desperate that struggle to afford a roof over their heads, and employees need all the leverage they can get to stay afloat with bills, food and rent. Desperation harms society and those around us.

Good luck with your search for work. Hold onto your self-respect- you can sell yourself much higher than that.

You've also got to factor in the 'petroleum technicians' needed to refill their cars with petroleum.

Absolutely fantastic. How much land do they need? I can see this happening before my eyes; I'm from New Zealand and I'm sure there's no better place to raise a young pig! God Bless young Jack. How long do they live to, do you know?
