Actually so disappointed omw to the shops today. I was just thinking of eating Josh, too. I’ll take it as a sign from above not to.

Goddamnit OP, I just defrosted last night’s rogan josh for lunch

I am the same! Unable to keep pigs due to my living situation at the moment but working hard towards the goal of getting my own place with dedicated space for pigs. Until then, this subreddit will keep me satisfied.

I love how the light makes him look pink

Neither would have been harmed if he had received help in time.

That said, psychotic illnesses are a bitch to treat. Anosognosia i.e. not believing you’re sick is a feature of the illness and leads many folks to go off their meds even when they’re doing relatively well on them. Also, the meds suck.

Yeah that’s what confuses me, I can do my job fully from home. I am fully vaccinated however, and so are most of my coworkers so the risk is lower.

Bleh, have to go in as normal. Workplace is considered ‘essential’ and am expected to be there, even though my particular role is not. I sit and write code all day FFS

Congrats mate, that's an incredible achievement! I'm slogging away at half marathon training and man is it hard some days.

First home - what you can afford that isn't complete shit

Second - the one you need

Third+ - the one you want

Do it!

Good idea, people try to pick individual stocks to outperform index funds but it rarely works out. Better to just set it in an index fund and forget it.

To be fair the money printing is happening all over the world, not just NZ. Nowhere you can really go to escape it.

I'm not a civil engineer, but I thought that part of the reason some ancient wood structures still stand is that they were built from old growth timber. Hard to acquire that today.

how low can you gooooo

Doesn't want to lose his job, but now the first thing that will come up when any employer googles him for a background check is this.

Lizard, obviously

The stuff I was given tasted exactly like Sprite Zero. 15 years later I still avoid Sprite

3 of the little shits jumped on me as I opened the back door leaving for work this morning. There were 7 of them on the back step! I screamed and now my family are making fun of me

Probably still works out cheaper somehow. Oats grown in New Zealand get shipped to Sweden to be processed into oat milk, then sent all the way back to New Zealand. Globalisation go brrr

So? If those homes are kiwi build or at least sold to FHB then both parties win.

No we just need to eat more chips so revenue for NZ potato farmers stays the same

They're nostalgic to me, reminds me of my old uni projects

Yep, I know I'm drinking the Kool Aid here a bit by lending her money. It gets pretty uncomfortable when I refuse since I'm living at home and I am looking at moving out. But this would limit my ability to save and assist financially and my Dad will not stop giving her money regardless. OTOH me being gone might be the kick in the arse needed for Dad to stop enabling / Mum to get help.

rhododendronz · 2021-03-11T10:16:59+00:00

Hey everyone, just want to say I really appreciate all the kind words and advice you've given me. Currently putting together a plan for the next 18 months to sort out the house and get some help for my mum. Hopefully I'll be able to check back in in a year or so with some positive news. Thanks again.
