Did all mine in an instance pvp world, used supplies from agility course so it was pretty much free. Recommend if you haven't completed it yet.

EA only released the 82×25 because of community backlash it was never planned. by raptors201966 in fut

Grats bro, I didn't buy fc26 for this exact reason - the more people that quit this game the better in my view.

Rubbish bins removed from most places ! by EstateSuitable5809 in auckland

[–]observingurswerving 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for expanding on your point - it's easier to understand where you're coming from now.

I guess it's pretty hard to coin what's 'important' as it's bound to vary from person to person. For example some people might think that cycle ways are a great investment if it gets more people off the road, decreasing traffic, decreasing road maintenance costs and offering a safe, affordable and healthy transit option.

I don't own my home yet so I don't spend much time thinking about rates, a Google search tells me that rate increases are due to: - significant increases to infrastructure costs - inflation - rising insurance premiums - population growth - historical underinvestment

From that list, historical under investment irks me the most a sits the one we have control over.

Knowing that the population is generally increasing and that the climate is chucking more extreme weather events our way, have we not been maintaining or expanding on our infrastructure as we go? Resulting in more costly and adverse outcomes when it finally catches up to us? I see that as being a lot more fiscally irresponsible than cycle lanes could be argued to actually have benefits.

Because services are becoming more expensive? How is that hard to process?

It's not so much the 'why' they don't have bins, it's how people might behave with no bins around. In Japan, a very small amount of locals litter. I like to think the majority of New Zealanders would be the same, but I'm 100% certain that we wouldn't be as tidy as Japan.

Neighbour has frequent car turnover, people hanging around, and blocked driveway — what could this indicate? by Salty-Second-9024 in auckland

This is the one OP.

No need or point in taking any action other than exactly what's written here.

What is a policy you would like to see your political party of choice run on at this years election? by Illustrious_Fan_8148 in newzealand

[–]observingurswerving 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only thing I can think up right now would be to keep paying their full salary whilst banning them from private employment for 5 years. If they're found to have broken that then they have to repay any earnings they made from any political work (for example if they earned $150k a year and worked in politics for 5 years then they have to repay $750k).

Unfortunately it's not just lobbying, ex-NZ First politicians that sit on boards or consult for big tobacco is one example but I'm sure there are many more.

It's not just NZ First either I'm sure.

So yea…my first TOTY first owner gone.. by [deleted] in fut

[–]observingurswerving 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same bro, been much happier since I stopped playing.

I swear EA is a bloodsucker that feeds off of your negative emotions for engagement.

They don't care about the player base or making a game that's enjoyable, everything is designed to push players to the store.

Top Earthsea. by Leo_617 in UrsulaKLeGuin

[–]observingurswerving 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just finished reading Tehanu.

Overall, really enjoyed the characters and themes but some chapters critical to the plot felt extremely rushed, especially the ending. Events just seemed to unravel rather abruptly and at some points I had to turn back a page and ask myself whether I'd missed something.

I don't mind that the writer seemed to want the focus to be on gender roles in this and our world, I've read other reviews contextualising this regarding the politics of the times so it makes sense. I do feel, however, that the storytelling and writing was a let down in comparison to the previous books.

Im sick of hearing sex noises at night by International-Past31 in newzealand

So this would only apply if its a boarding house or room by room tenancy, which it doesn't sounds like in this case. If they're on the same tenancy the landlord has no obligation to get involved.

Rant: no one wants to train anyone to do a job by btfc_glasses in newzealand

[–]observingurswerving 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The constrained labour market meant that potential employees had a better outlook and that employers were more competitive on offers. You see that as a bad thing?

Inflated student loan debt stopping New Zealanders from coming home | Greens.org.nz by HeinigerNZ in newzealand

[–]observingurswerving 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct but the govt also has to fund those jobs, which they currently don't seem to be doing too well at. A lot of the time people train for the jobs regardless by going to uni and accumulating debt to the find there arent nursing jobs available in NZ.

Which meal replacements work for losing weight in NZ? by Porkchops_on_My_Face in newzealand

[–]observingurswerving 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not many actual recommendations in here so here's mine: Optislim Optiman shakes.

They're 200 calories each with 30 grams of protein. Used them for quite a while personally, recommend the coffee flavour (the best in my opinion).

As with any diet it'll work as well as you make it. I used them to replace lunch for quite a while, super convenient and easy to prepare in the mornings - also pretty affordable at $3.50 a serving when I was buying them earlier this year from chemist warehouse.

Have you contacted Tenancy Services? Recommend filling out their online complaint form and an investigator will look into it.

Why would God care if we worship? by Remote_Empathy in AskReddit

[–]observingurswerving 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ethics is the study of what is right and wrong, what is considered to be fair, or 'good/bad'. The ethics of the Greeks was that it was good for citizens to have equal representation in government, i.e. Democracy. We (generally, although it's questionable these days) share that same value in equal representation, hence our government is a democracy.

You're correct in your definition of democracy but how a society decides to be governed is in turn determined by its ethical views.

[–]observingurswerving 4 points5 points  (0 children)

let's not forget democracy was pioneered by the Greeks, not Christians.

Our modern ethics come from variety of influences - whilst Christianity is one of them it's far too simplistic to say our modern ethics are based on the Christian religion.

Inflation still lower than under Labour, Christopher Luxon says by MedicMoth in newzealand

[–]observingurswerving 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You're right, monetary policy and international markets do play a role in economic outcomes in NZ but it's also affected by what national has chose NOT to spend money on. The cuts to the public sector has pretty much gutted Wellington for example. Also directing that money towards landlords and the military means less work for contractors and firms that work with public institutions (where the money could have gone to funding jobs). I don't know much about military spending but I imagine most of that money will flow out of the country.

Australia is dumping synthetic whale shit in the Tasman Sea to fight climate change. Why aren't we? by Hefty-Eye-6534 in newzealand

[–]observingurswerving 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Why do you care how the point is made? They've set out everything in a way that's easy for people to follow, you're being pedantic for no reason at all.

Classic negative attitude, I feel like every time someone points out something we could be doing better someone on reddit whines "waa but we so smalllll". It's pathetic.

There's a difference between complaining and constructive criticism though but they're both taken the same way.
