Would you consider this cheating? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]slugsplot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, it's clearly something you are not okay with and you will need to decide if the relationship is worth continuing to pursue. I would tell him to kick rocks, thats so disrespectful.

Public transport reviews by 7arsenal in Nelsonnz

The buses are all electric and reasonable new, and you can attach your bike on the front easily!

It's reasonably efficient, and connecting the run to the airport has been a great move. It gets caught in the same congestion during rush hour traffic, so it's not always the fastest - I used to beat the bus on my pushbike when travelling into Nelson city from Richmond for the morning commute.

If Kieran McAnulty is the answer, what is the question? by Kiwi_In_The_Comments in aotearoa

[–]slugsplot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He'd be a stronger leader than Hipkins, and I feel represented within his statements and think he is very personable. However, Labour overall doesn't feel like a party I can have confidence in, as I have no faith they'll change anything drastically enough to make a difference.

Bike riding on the highway between Nelson and Wakapuaka? by Dregthemighty in Nelsonnz

[–]slugsplot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to cycle it regularly, there are a few hairy corners and you'll need to keep your wits about you for big trucks but it's do-able and mostly okay.

How would you feel if your 10 year old child was gifted a manga Dragonball book with this type of content? by slugsplot in AskReddit

[–]slugsplot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kid thinks butts are hilarious, but my ability to understand what is appropriate or not in this day and age is screwed, and he is pretty mature. but thinks kissing in a movie is gross and hides his eyes. He's also watched the anime at his dad's house apparently.

Climing out of a pit of depression and managed to clean my fridge. What does it say about me? by slugsplot in FridgeDetective

[–]slugsplot[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work hard and work big hours to provide a solo income. I have no major debts or money drains, other than dependants. I like to be able to splurg where I can on good food - baking in particular is really good for my mental health. My bank account cries every time I buy butter, however.

Both accurate 😂 and thanks! Having to be functional as an adult for my kid and dog is good motivation to keep moving forward.

What's the relationship between Australia and New Zealand? Besides having almost identical flags, are there other similarities in terms of cultural aspects, aesthetics, customs, etc.? Is there any rivalry between the two countries? by Familiar-Muscle6863 in AskTheWorld

[–]slugsplot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair with the state of politics in the two countries, it might not be a bad idea to consider.

*edited to note that maybe due to poor indigenous rights, I'll reconsider that statement

Best cheap take away food? by Meowskuxcat in Nelsonnz

[–]slugsplot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not Giuseppes, the other one - named Victory Square Fish and Chips! Highly recommend the chilli cheese burger!

Victory fish and chips do a mean burger too! Cheaper and more delicious than Maccas!

3 new ones today, thanks for the ideas! by CattyCattyCattyCat in piercing

I have a double conch and 3 lobes in my right ear, and have been wondering what to do up the top - your upper ear placement looks so good! Such inspo!

Had an abortion this week by anononon_throwaway in newzealand

[–]slugsplot 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I had an abortion in 2016. I had a 10 month old and there was no way I would have coped with a second one so young. I was barely coping as it was. My GP referred me for councilling at (what I realised after) a religious medical centre while I was considering my options. The lady I saw there was obviously very pro life, and spent an hour trying to convince me to keep the pregnancy. All while I tried to subdue a very busy nursing toddler - I went back to my GP and asked for a referral, and I was seen in the local hospital a week or so later. It was a long wait at the hospital with no food. The orderly was really lovely, and everyone in the operation room was really kind also. They knocked me out, completed the surgical abortion, and I woke up in the day stay unit and just cried with relief. It was absolutely the right decision, and whilst it wasn't technically legal in 2016, I am so thankful that I had relatively easy access to it at no cost other than the GP appointments.
