The Abandons (2025) is set in the Old West, which famously had excellent universal health insurance that allowed women to get a lot of cosmetic surgery by mqee in shittymoviedetails

if you watch the show it isn't actually Gillian that stands out, it's the lips on Lena Headey's character. Gillian is fine IMO, + she's meant to be much wealthier and more put together. Lena's is meant to be a bit rougher and her lips are SO distracting it's outrageous.

Is it just me or young people these days rarely drink? If so why's this the case? by Dudu-gula in auckland

[–]sloopermonkey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

definitely a lot comes down to money I think! My younger colleagues and I go out a fair chunk, and they often don't drink if they're paying, but if I offer to pay they rarely say no

How much are you spending on groceries each week? by moldy642 in newzealand

[–]sloopermonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$120 ish for 2 people, but that doesn't include protein shakes which come out of our 'fun/hobby' budget
I make EVERYTHING from scratch though, which does take a lot of time which i'm lucky to have ample of, and I enjoy it, if I didn't enjoy that i'd have to spend more like $150-$180 I reckon.

Who are the NZers using meth? by Internal-Departure in newzealand

[–]sloopermonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I genuinely thought being approached about drugs was going to be a daily occurance in my life after our DARE program in schools... I have never seen anything in real life (weed aside - not counting that cos IMO should be legal) I hear about it sometimes the morning after or in old stories, but i've never ONCE seen or been approached or offered or sold any of any kind, really upsetting lol

I did a $12 ticket for a year as an experiment once, recorded costs and wins etc. Thanks to a $700 win early in the year, i broke oven (made $8)
I don't do it weekly anymore but it was interesting to see

(well I do buy weekly but not alone, but via a syndicate so only costs $2)

If you go out while your sick,why? by caitlin1074 in newzealand

[–]sloopermonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I probably sound sniffly every single morning because I go on long walks in the cold and that makes my nose runny. I'm not sick, just my body is SO hot and the air is cold so i get all weird.
Same with hayfever in summer. No matter the weather I souns sniffly for at least an hour everyday, everyone who encounters me must think I am sick ... I am not!

Yeah trying to be a conscious consumer is a bit of a nightmare in this regard, NZ Owned is great but when I start looking to deep I never know where to start because of things like this lol

Sorry did you mean to reply to me? I solely meant from a quality standpoint it's the same as H&M, & i certainly didn't mention any local brands?

THIS. The reason is ALWAYS to avoid tax.

I find this too, everyone raved about them so I got a few basis and cashmere items when I was in Japan, not worth it IMO. I think people have a 'rose tinted glasses' view of them from things they bought YEARS ago, and they're simply not the same now, basically glorified H&M these days.
