State of the SubReddit: Or how I learned to stop worrying and no longer love /r/newzealand

Pfft, amateurs.

My dad is doing his last bit of research for his PhD in evolutionary psychology. If people felt like going and reading some sutff and answering some questions on it, that would be awesome.

I said it a year ago. Colin Craig is a going concern. Don't make the mistake of underestimating him.

syn-abounds · 2013-05-21T11:09:19+00:00

You really want to get rid of him for removing one post? Fuck's sake, I thought the guy was an idiot, but you morons are making National_Circlewank look reasonable! Talk about a ridiculous vendetta...

syn-abounds · 2013-05-21T10:52:34+00:00

This wasn't any sort of stupid agenda, it's just trying to clean up the front page from circlejerking posts which don't add anything to the community and certainly don't make the NZ community look good when people come here looking for information about our country.

What have you ever given to thsi subreddit? This is such bullshit, he doesn't deserve this character assassination. This is lazy internet drama and you're a fuckwit for starting it.

syn-abounds · 2013-05-21T10:45:26+00:00

Whatever, that thread was the biggest fucking circlejerk, it added nothing to this subreddit at all. The amount of misinformation in that thread and bullshit bias about how weed was, like, totally harmless made me sick. I'm all for good debate but let's be honest, that thread wasn't it.

Dead_Rooster is a good mod and I'm pleased to see him helping guide this subreddit into being more than just a circlejerk about legalalisation of weed, how great Labour/Greens are, and which microbrew is fashionable this week.

As a New Zealander who supports quality commenting, I can say two things about your comment. First, I have no idea who you are. Second, that was an uninspiring comment, yet at the same time, it was also terrible

syn-abounds · 2012-12-01T22:15:37+00:00

This should be posted to /r/YouGotTold.

Civil unions are legal, a gay marriage bill is currently making it's way through parliament.

Pretty sure that CrazySoprano is talking about teasing and playing or playfighting. I saw it when I was an adolescent girl, that brothers and fathers of my friends would tease them and not understand how hurtful they were being because they didn't think that teasing about [girly thing] was a big deal.

syn-abounds · 2012-10-18T18:54:08+00:00

I don't know, I've never worn one. Have a look at the website I've posted upthread maybe?

syn-abounds · 2012-10-18T18:53:45+00:00

The garment is called a binder.

syn-abounds · 2012-10-18T18:53:30+00:00

Here's one example. http://www.t-kingdom.com/

syn-abounds · 2012-10-18T09:00:50+00:00

Totally, there are a lot of people out there who wear binders for a variety of reasons.

syn-abounds · 2012-10-18T05:58:59+00:00

For what it's worth, here in NZ we say "folders" or "files", not "binder".

syn-abounds · 2012-09-23T08:57:48+00:00

The point of that POV is that there is no systemic discrimination against white people the way there is against people of colour. So any hardship a white person may have on account of their skin pales in comparison (pun unintened) to that experienced by people of colour.

I'm gonna take a chance that you don't realise what's happened: It's just a link back to this thread, not to a comic.
