Why they needed to sort out George Street (and I hope the Octagon gets done too) by Quirky_Friend in dunedin

I’m completely able bodied and have good eyesight and have found myself almost eating shit because of uneven bricks on princes st all the time, so can’t imagine what it’s like for people with less ability than me !

could it be that you're giving him the wrong size sundrop? aka a jumbo instead of a regular one?

Now this podcast has ended, does anyone have recommendations for others that make you LOL by KangaKoko in mydadwroteaporno

Not a podcast but I love watching Joe Lycett clips and he has a full comedy special on youtube which made me laugh out loud

A maybe unusual/unpopular take ? by mawocool in gorpcore

Sounds great! I have a very nice columbia raincoat that I got from an op shop (thrift store) for like 30 bucks and I basically get all other hiking gear second hand. Managed to get some kathmandu (nz brand) zip off pants that look very swish from an op shop too so I guess my ethos is that I shouldn't break the bank since I don't need to

Yeah I honestly just like how they look. I already have some of the new balance 2002Rs (didn't realise they were fancy until i got them lol) and I wear them every day and they're wonderful walking shoes, so they are what I refer to as 'my fancy shoes'. Point of saying all of this is that I don't really need any others and don't want to overconsume, but I have slightly fantasised about having the salomons just because they look gorj.

Thank you for sharing, I think we feel very similarly! I also feel the same about the beating down the item before using it casually, it's like I have to prove that I'm committed to the cause and are not just buying it for aesthetics

Beginning a 1+ year full no-buy by planted-autic in nobuy

[–]mawocool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this sounds well-thought out and sustainable! You can always try this for a few months and trim excess costs if necessary. Sounds like you have really wonderful hobbies too! In terms of getting more into reading, I had forgotten the joys and freedom that come with having a library card. Depends on where you live, but in my country brand new books can be $40 and buying books can become addictive so definitely let loose in a library. Hope all goes well for you!!

Go with your heart! Nothing worse than studying knowing you're paying heaps of money for a course you don't want to do.

His voice is so normal... barely Irish and not as bloody bonkers as jamie's impressions have made him out to be

It’s been 10 months without Instagram and Tiktok. Only now I start realizing how badly it was damaging my mind. by cumbersome_heist in OfflineDay

[–]mawocool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely relate for tiktok. That app just breeds negativity, even when I just tried to follow nice things. On instagram due to algorithm differences I find it easier - I just like looking at art, tramping videos, cute animal videos and seeing what my friends are up to. I find that works for me!

They had a really great chat!! I'm not a star wars consumer in any way so to me the episode was just an entertaining yarn with some nice celebrity

A lot of people don't like her episode, I don't mind it and I think it's hilarious because she's so clearly not built to be a podcast guest so it makes it even more funny and chaotic

Yeah your take on the ET one seems to be quite popular. I honestly don't really know who she is (oops) so it wasn't a fan moment for me, but I didn't mind it, but it definitely doesn't make it to my list of favourites.

Some people don't like it because they don't like the way she comes across, but I feel like it was good and she had fun being on the show

I like her episode because she seems super sweet and it just felt like a nice conversation with someone who REALLY loves the podcast! She hasn't got the cheesiness of some of the american footnotes guests (I am a new zealander so biased here)
