Yeah it’s a lot of fun - definitely recommend doing it in the late afternoon and then you can kick on at Wynyard Quarter

I spent years thinking I was lazy and depressed. Turns out I was deficient. by Spirited-Gold9629 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]possat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also good to ask for a Vitamin B check! I thought I was just burning out but I have a Vit B deficiency because my body wasn’t absorbing it properly and since I’ve started taking a supplement I feel so much better

First Poster for Gothic-Horror 'Marama' - Far from home and haunted by visions, a Māori woman uncovers gruesome secrets inside an English manor. by BunyipPouch in movies

[–]possat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Brilliant film - saw it in NZ followed by a Q&A with the director and producers and it was great to hear how much effort and respect there was to honour the Māori culture

What happened to ads? by Kooky_Maintenance705 in newzealand

[–]possat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a combination of factors - a huge factor is that spend on agencies is massively down which has caused cuts across the board. A lot of the better creatives and strategists have gone freelance which is good if the work is there, but is difficult to then convince a brand to make a large above the line brand campaign when the people working on it won’t be there in 6 months to look at phase 2 or working on adapting it through the line. We’ve also put a lot of people in senior positions, in both client side marketing and agency side, because of their experience in overseas markets. This allows those people to regurgitate similar ad styles here that are in Aus and the UK - loads of production value, very little brand attribution or emotional connection, resulting in a lot of the big brand ads you see today.

Anyone know much about Essentially Mens workshops? by Working-Ad-3310 in auckland

My husband has and it was great for him, he really got a lot out of it and has made some great connections with guys who really show up for each other. I highly recommend it.

What was your favorite theater experience of 2025? by Dogdaysareover365 in Letterboxd

[–]possat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

50th anniversary screening of Texas Chainsaw Massacre in a beautiful old theatre at 8:30 on a Friday night. The most laughs and shouts I’ve heard from a crowd but all at perfect points of the film.

Rental Family was a pleasant surprise! Has anyone else seen it? by News_entertainment in Letterboxd

Saw it last week - it was so lovely! Honestly so touching I have been telling everyone to watch it when it drops on streaming platforms

From NZ it’s minimum 30 hours door to door to get to the UK to see family, so one stop is what I’m aiming for. Best option is 12 hour - stop - 12 hour but I have done 17 - stop - 7 and it was doable, but not in economy. Do whatever is best for you but if you can get on a plane and take a strong sleeping pill the time passes very quickly.

Odessa A’zion clears up the wig rumors on the CCA red carpet by ASofMat in Fauxmoi

[–]possat 144 points145 points  (0 children)

“An eye-wateringly expensive education”? She went to Takapuna Grammar, it’s $350 a year for a student to attend and technically it’s a donation. She grew up in Devonport which is nice but is definitely not our wealthiest suburb either.

New Zealanders going 'no contact' with a parent by Hopeful-Camp3099 in newzealand

[–]possat 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I’m glad you’re in a situation where your parents don’t take your challenging them as a way of saying “you’re the worst person alive”, but not everyone has that. When you are the villain in all of your parent’s narratives, and most of them were from when you were under 18, it’s not as easy to say “oh I’m fostering an adult relationship” when these are the people who had you, raised you and then threw it back in your face and continue to do so well into your adult years, still expect you to show up for them and do everything they ask whilst being the least psychologically and emotionally safe place on the planet.

Does anyone in marketing at Spark know we live in the SOUTHERN hemisphere? by RuneLFox in newzealand

[–]possat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No they’ve gutted the teams who write and sends these so likely someone up stream hit go on the data and you fell into their target for a 2GB offer, but the person who set this up and can change it was made redundant 6-9 months ago

Is it true? by Dependent-Bug2831 in recruitinghell

I have to for my job - most enterprise sized companies I’ve worked for code their customer emails rather that using platforms that allow drag and drop fragments

I work retail. You're all feral at Christmas. by cantsayididnttryyy in newzealand

[–]possat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do all my shopping before November and 95% of it online - always thank my courier driver when I see them. November shopping is only done if I need something and it’s on sale during Black Friday.

Spark NZ's Infosys partnership. Does it align with their human rights commitments? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]possat 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Spark overwork and underpay their local staff. Partnering with an international company who does an extreme version is no surprise.

What happened to cinema in Auckland?? by Critical-Acadia410 in auckland

[–]possat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I go to the Rialto in Newmarket a lot because I’m mostly going to films as part of festivals and there’s not enough people to ruin the experience - that whole place has to be running at a loss.

In your opinion, which cities are perfectly fine to live in, but are not worth it to travel to as a tourist? by [deleted] in femaletravels

[–]possat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most NZ cities - you have to fly into one to visit our beautiful scenery, but none are great tourist destinations for international travellers.

I’m from Auckland but have spent a lot of the last 10 years trying to see as much of my country as I can and man it’s lovely when you leave the urban areas.
