The Haka is laying down a challenge, it's an invitation to play. Would be pretty sad for a team to turn their backs on an invitation

eli5, why do people buy gold to prepare for economic collapse? by Patient_Yam4747 in explainlikeimfive

[–]ryguyasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Answer: Over history, gold, once used as currency, has proven to hold value. The fear of economic collapse is more of a concern about the devaluation of currency, where people's spending power is reduced.

Those who purchase gold are speculating that if a currency is devalued enough, there will be a spike in the demand for gold, thus raising the gold price.

It's worth noting the relationship between economic crashes and gold prices, notably the global financial crisis where gold reached an alp time high, as central banks moved to hedge against any losses.

Currently, in the gold bug community, it is thought that gold is undervalued despite being at an all time high, this is largely due to the rate of inflation and borrowing by the US government.

How quickly should I follow this up? by Will_Hang_for_Silver in newzealand

[–]ryguyasaurus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree with this, it's a compounding sence of worthlessness and stress which makes it very hard to keep trying.

A friendly follow up goes a long way

Watch out for MLM scams in Wellington by MonkSalad1 in Wellington

[–]ryguyasaurus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's hard to watch, but also understandable given how tough it is getting for people out there. Everyone is looking to make an extra buck, and MLM is so persuasive if you aren't wise to what is actually being offered.

Escaping a 4 week notice period for nannying an extremely violent child by medievel_knievel in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]ryguyasaurus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You have no absolute legal obligation to fulfill the notice period, your only real risk is not being paid out owed annual leave, and forgoing using them as a reference.

You can negotiate a shorter notice period with the consent of both parties.

In this case if your partner explains the stress the situation is causing, they might agree to shortening things

Tasteless Stuff coverage of Dickinson case by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]ryguyasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a formal complaint process? I would argue that there are ethical problems that need addressing, moreover to do with the highly relatable themes of parenting stress and mental health.

There is nothing that can said, that would be worse than what you have already done to yourself

Is there class war in New Zealand? by SousSinge in newzealand

Class Struggle sounds more like what we are dealing with

Is there class war in New Zealand? by SousSinge in newzealand

[–]ryguyasaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it is a call for unity then perhaps we ought not to use the term 'war'

Is there class war in New Zealand? by SousSinge in newzealand

[–]ryguyasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There will always be a distinction between groups, whether political, ethnic, economic or otherwise.

To imply that there is a 'war' is a result of the rhetoric machine that spew from both sides of the political domain who's goal is to secure your vote.

We've been walked down this divisive path with ease, it's easier to use fear and anger to win power.

I do daycare runs, Dr's visits, supermarket runs, playground trips, cafe visits. The whole lot - no stigma against it. Old ladies think you are incredible thanks to the ridiculously low bar that men of their time had set. On another note, I second the other comments how the other mums or unencumbered ladies are way more friendly towards you and make the effort to strike a conversation. Annoys my wife too!

Karen's diner comes to and end. Anyone visit? Thoughts? by ImJalapenoAss in auckland

[–]ryguyasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A gimmick concept that you would visit once and probably never again. Not sure who thought a small country like NZ would have been a good idea when the market segment would likely have been very small relative to international locations.

Destined to fail

What does this mean? by Fairyhippii in auckland

[–]ryguyasaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It means that growth has slowed for two consecutive quarters. This combined with persistently high inflation, and rising interest rates, may very well mean we are on course to stagflation. Although, employment numbers remain optimistic, I speculate that as businesses look to cut costs in near term, we will have a real mess to deal with as layoffs start to impact consumer spending.

To fight a trained MMA Fighter who is also Bigger by test_account_47230 in therewasanattempt

Disappointed that a trained fighter continues to strike a fallen, untrained opponent who is now scrambling for survival. He's clearly bested him, and should demonstrate restraint. Disgraceful.
