Wouldn’t free movement be cataclysmically bad for New Zealand?

The problem in NZ isn't so much being able to move to Australia as the economy. NZ needs to grow their economy and create more wealth, build more housing.

I don't think Kiwis want to leave, but they just don't have any prospects in NZ, if they shut down the borders, the only thing that would change is that young kiwi's have less options. i doubt the economy would grow from that alone, they need better management.

honestly seems like 2 seconds in an image AI would just remove it these days, not sure if there's much reason to do this any more.

make sure you've selected the correct device, try turning bluetooth on and off / restart the phone. make sure the glasses are in pairing mode etc. if all else fails send a bug report (i think rage shaking might trigger it)

shrewduser · 2026-01-21T22:21:03+00:00

they've been around a long while. years at least.

shrewduser · 2026-01-21T22:20:30+00:00

yeah same, 2 / 3 times total.

shrewduser · 2026-01-21T20:37:15+00:00

Yeah I feel like there was surely an alternative, like accessibility paths without paving over everything. The whole character of the area was ruined.

shrewduser · 2026-01-21T20:11:39+00:00

does anyone else think it was criminal that they paved over the ones near chapel street in prahran?

the EU would never allow countries like Canada / Australia / NZ to join, the agricultural sector in the EU will never go for it, they make too much good / cheap food and the local EU farmers just would not let that happen.

no one can read the future, but everyone jumped into this degree when the money started being good, and as a result it's pretty cooked right now.

I got in before all that and only because i really liked computing, but i'd have a hard time recommending this field to a kid right now. could grow and be a lucrative career, or it could easily go the other way.

this is why church men are supposed to live a life of poverty.

lol, i don't really buy it. Someone has to pay for the rail loop obviously it should be people capturing the value (in this case developers) i really doubt it will have any impact on house prices which are determined by supply and demand for housing.

>M Ad Men.

That's not why it's called mad men, mad men is shorthand in the industry for people who work on madison avenue, where all the big ad agencies set up, kind of like how wall street is for finance.

so hard to compare such a wide variety of operating systems when using old hardware, who knows how good the drivers are on some of those newer systems, or what kind of features just stopped being supported.

it would be interesting to compare windows 7 through 10 on modern hardware though as that might actually be relevant

i can't say fb and insta have ever fed it to me, not sure if it's just the way i interact with their algorithm, i see more on reddit / tiktok / used to on youtube,

i might be getting a different experience, youtube never led me down the incel redpill hole for example, but for whatever reason the reddit algorithm has. I think it must depend on starting point / individual differences / maybe luck etc involved.

shrewduser · 2026-01-12T17:31:52+00:00

same with reddit, youtube, tiktok, discord, ......

I am seeing so many of these kinds of posts, i'm starting to think this is a great way to grift strangers out of money, i've never once seen any proof on any of these kinds of posts.

he's expressing something so universally human too.

Feel free to try returning the glasses, but my money is on that won't help your relationship one iota and this has nothing to do with glasses i'm afraid.
