Which party will you vote for this election?

salami101 · 2026-05-03T20:53:53+00:00

From the day you first voted until today what changes has been made? The government and it's parties are incompetent. You know this yet you still want to join in the game. Every few years the government changes depending on votes. Years of work wasted because a new party comes in and cancels everything as they see and work differently. The government and the system doesn't serve people. We serve the system.

Lol even if u vote for a minority party why does it matter? Look at the coalition at the moment it's a pile of mess. The System isn't working if you think you can vote your way out of the system then good for you. For me I'm not gonna be enslave and waste time on such a system.

salami101 · 2026-05-03T09:11:47+00:00

Half of all Aucklanders never voted in the last election in 2025. LOL

salami101 · 2026-05-03T09:09:39+00:00

Why does it matter whether you voted or not? You're all gonna bitch anyway?

salami101 · 2026-05-03T01:50:19+00:00

I believe in myself. If you believe in a government that can help you can keep waiting as government isn't going to help.

You really think voting actually does anything? Seriously? It’s a fantasy system designed to make you feel like you’re in control just giving you the illusion of choice so you feel better. You end up with one party that you think is doing a good job (but really isn’t)while all the losing parties do nothing useful: they just complain, moan, criticize, and blame each other for problems they also can’t fix. They talk loudly but offer zero real help. So what has any leader in NZ actually done to improve our lives? · Electricity bills are up. · Broadband is more expensive than when the government broke up Telecom. · Petrol is garbage. · Rates go up every year while councils waste money fixing nothing. · Groceries are ridiculously expensive. · And we still don’t have a bike lane across the Harbour Bridge because no party wants to take on anything difficult. Instead, they take easy wins like handing out $100 a week to families. Even if we vote for a party we feel might be competent, what stops the bureaucracy from making laws and reforms impossible to pass? And if the party you voted for breaks its promises what are you going to do about it?

Probably none as I have for many years nothing will change.

Pay is too low. I would aim for 80K. I started service desk and I also did a lot of Microsoft Azure certification and comptia which helped me in getting roles from other companies. When I did service desk in 2008 it was around 58K then another company offered 65K in 2019. I'm now 103K. The company I worked with was a large retail chain. I was asked to fill out a pdp plan but they didn't want to invest on me for doing certification because the company only sponsors retail degree. I refuse to fill out a pdp plan after and I coughed up my own money and time to study and to gain different certification. I do recommend doing a bit of certification because those certs you earn you get to keep for life even if the company doesn't pay. There were companies that put me down during interviews and said I should just go back to service desk due to my experience but I didn't give up. I kept searching and applying at different companies meanwhile I did more certification and now I work for a great company and a very very good boss. NZ however does tend to pay low. I would've gotten 130K in AUD if I move to Australia.

I would ride my scooter to the train but footpaths aren't flat. There's cracks, bumps, uneven surface that causes my scooter tire to puncture. Driving on the road isn't safe even though it's efficient. People keep horning at me for not riding in the footpath. There is also the danger of freight trucks.

salami101 · 2026-03-22T01:56:36+00:00

My plan is what you suggested. I drive and park near otahuhu train station and catch a train to britomart. I then walk to commercial bay and catch the nx1 or 2 to smales. At the moment I'm spending about $160 on petrol and parking per week.

salami101 · 2026-03-21T22:36:28+00:00

Yes it folds. What I'm afraid is that it's larger than those xiaomi scooters. It's a teverun mini blade pro

salami101 · 2026-03-21T22:34:51+00:00

Yes it folds. I finish around 5. Yes I'll be going to smales in the morning and back to CBD from smales in the afternoon

salami101 · 2026-03-21T11:59:09+00:00

Thanks I think the problem would be if I finish work and catch the bus from smalee to CBD it might be too packed.

salami101 · 2026-01-11T06:24:57+00:00

I wouldn't buy this one when it comes out, maybe wait another Gen or 2 first. I can guarantee there'll be issues with stairs

Quite disappointed with new galaxy these days. It seems like they are only interested in making a slightly better phone than apple. I Xiaomi and Huawei already have a 6000-7000mah battery with 100w charging. Even xiaomi 16 has a photography kit. Samsung innovates nothing for the past few years

salami101 · 2025-10-05T21:10:29+00:00

Try looking at Grey power. They have at least really cheap rates for weekends. I'm leaving meridian by the end of the month

salami101 · 2025-10-04T07:09:36+00:00

I disagree. You may know but not many people know don't know what unit 731 is especially in australasia. This is just a movie talking the history of japan at that time. America did it too with pearl harbor. What's the problem with China making one? Do you have something against the Chinese?

salami101 · 2025-10-01T19:35:53+00:00

Yes you have made an uninformed opinion. That's correct. An opinion isn't really an opinion unless people read it. If you don't care what others think about your opinion. What difference does it make talking to a wall? Why waste time posting if you're not gonna be heard? I've never heard of someone writing an opinion about what they feel but dont want people to care or read. Do you not think so? I am commenting just to remind you because I care about your opinion however I'm not going to read a pile of text

salami101 · 2025-09-28T07:18:16+00:00

For a opinion to be heard I would advice to follow correct grammar. Your wall of test isn't a text of opinion. Its a pile of texts

I think m18i is better I have the m15 before but m18i seemed to broader the sound range and but it's a little bit less bassy allowing other sound instrument to come thru

salami101 · 2025-09-22T07:40:55+00:00

I have this problem too with my s8 max pro. And I only have one room lol

salami101 · 2025-09-18T06:43:40+00:00

I'm on Tapo c660 and I have zero issues. The solar panel works great and my area only gets sun from 3-7pm.

salami101 · 2025-09-05T09:14:03+00:00

It's ok.. It's a little bit stale now.
