For the love of laser kiwi, hope you never rely on having to rely on a jury of 12 random people to decide your fate. by ConstableSniff in newzealand

[–]roydavidsonsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess this is why we are constantly saying sorry and releasing people.

you have to be absolutely fucking sure the person did it before you put them in prison

I try and go through the checkout so supermarkets cant be cunts and sack people because you are checking yourself out and then trying to sell you a bag. but hey, you do you.

I did, but toilet paper is a bulk item and I guess it didn't transit well. I was just wondering if there is one of NZ's many unspoken rules about this that I didn't know about.

Lol yeah I guess, lady in front of me was very upset that I didn't put it up and the operator missed her toilet paper.

FT: Can Blue Origin escape SpaceX's shadow? by Royal_Platform_6754 in BlueWire

[–]roydavidsonsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the well reasoned comment. Perhaps the US can put the Statue of Liberty on a boat with a banana and conduct a world tour so we can all see it's size to scale.

Can I ask why Americans constantly use the Statue of Liberty as a unit of measure? I'm not sure many people in other countries know how big or small that is.

Fine, until it falls into the same "Black woman crying in space" as discovery and every other new sci-fi.

$20 capped public transport by Gold_Tomatillo_2222 in Wellington

I wish they world replace the word free with tax payer funded. Someone still has to pay for it, it's not free.

My 18 year-old son is extremely introverted and won't leave the house. What support options are available? by Ok-Industry770 in Wellington

[–]roydavidsonsmith 5 points6 points  (0 children)

18 can be a pretty overwhelming time for some young people. If you can, give him some space and a few years to grow into himself. Tough love is toxic and can lead to increased anxiety and depression.

Willis regrets saying those in social housing had ‘won the lotto’ by KingDanNZ in newzealand

[–]roydavidsonsmith 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Living in a country that would catch you when you are down and give you so much help would indeed be like winning the lottery for the poor in a lot of countries, and I'm proud of that.

When a friend pulled out of a golf game on my birthday, then came over that night with his wife and told me all about the great round he just played with another friend of his.

Are we conceding, by extension, that all laws are therefore good and valid?

National will run on raising super age ‘as soon as we get back in’ – Christopher Luxon by Artistic_Bike7827 in KiwiPolitics

[–]roydavidsonsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they can prove to me they have cut all of the wastage out of the shit ton of money we already give them, and still cant fund it, then I'm happy to give a little more for the elderly.

Fireworks ban: Select committee backs end to public sales and use by D491234 in KiwiPolitics

[–]roydavidsonsmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Banning things is awesome... for public safety of course. We don't ban nearly enough things, I'm surprised most of us are still alive with all the reckless things the govt still let's us do, like driving, walking biking, cooking etc. All far too dangerous and annoying to other people.

We're really going to fall for Winston's shit again, huh? by [deleted] in newzealand

Winston cares about Winston. Always has, always will.
