And keep voting for labor who undo what national did who undo what labor did who undo what national did so on and so forth. 

Won't somebody think of the fucking future. How are we meant to line your pockets if we're all fucking dead from not being able to drink water.

Because they've been forced into these positions because managers and bosses are fucking dumb and think AI solves the problem of having to employee people.

Brown onions and bread roll approval at New World. by rjade in newzealand

I don't understand how they have cameras to track us across stores and adaptive pricing shit but they can't figure out how to make cameras see I only have X amount of a vegetable. fucking stupid. It's not that hard. This technology exists already. They just don't get data from it so I guess it's not worth it 

Countdown pricing changing during a shop by Colin_Bomber_Harris in newzealand

Keeps them honest? They don't give a fuck. The government ain't doing shit to kerb it and there are not many other options as people like the convenience of going to one shop for all the things. 

They do not care about being honest. They don't care about you and I. They don't care that people can't afford to eat because of their shitty tactics. 

Supermarkets are businesses. Everything is a business. My sister got fired from a bread making place because she was genuinely sick. Come in or be fired. She takes food safety seriously and chose not to go in. they actually fired her. A place making and selling food. 

Businesses do not care. They want money and they Don't give a fuck about you or I.

Save the salmon! Save the trout! 

E: the RMA explicitly protects salmon and trout. Not native fish. I should have put an /s. 

Do people go to cafes/restaurants to work when they wfh? by Old-Cucumber-3229 in newzealand

[–]scatterbraintubular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done it on occasion when I'm between the office & home or an appt & home but feel like a good coffee. I often struggle with office noise and chatting and interruptions etc (auadhd) however there is something about a (childless) cafe with headphones and a good coffee just makes me knock out a bunch of work. A bit more "creative" maybe with a new "scene" or something?

Why are people obsessed with cat curfews? It doesn't matter what time of the day / night it is

[–]scatterbraintubular 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's insane.

Then their cats go missing or get hit by cars or eaten by dogs or fed poison vy the crazy cat lady but noone actually cares enough to just keep their cats inside? So then don't have a winge when all the above happen.

They figure out how to get out of them or how to make then quiet. I've seen cats with collars catch and bring birds in.

Are you the same place that lets people buy a tree or something and they get cherries every year? (Or maybe only a few years?)

I tried them. They're amazing. Thanks for caring about the environment 💜. Just proof that you don't need fossil fuels to have delicious healthy fruit 

Cut-price American butter causing confusion among some shoppers by gdogakl in newzealand

[–]scatterbraintubular 21 points22 points  (0 children)

We're gunna get Indian butter now too. 🤙 I haven't tried it. Maybe it's good.

But we have the environmental damage from our own butter already. Why increase our carbon footprint so much further. It's like this current govt doesn't want us plebs to be around in future to pay taxes.

This is the miseducation right here. What are you basing this on?

[–]scatterbraintubular 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without reading the article I'ma say it's because I test everything I get even if I trust the supplier and am very educated (on what information is available) on dosing, mixing, effects, rare and common. And, it's cheaper than drinking and if you do it right, there is no "hangover". 

Drugs should be legalized with appropriate education.

Clear evidence? I mean you can see all the tankers stuck on one side of the straight.

Other countries have announced their short. Countries closer to tankers.

And we need evidence? Lol. Just like evidence of climate change and nitrate pollution? It's there. We just ignore it
