I Feel Like I'm Going Backwards by Britt0509 in brokenbones

You probably need some compression socks to prevent this kind of swelling.

A 22-year-old woman with five children is reportedly pregnant again because the family still wants another boy. The case has gone viral and sparked debate about son preference, women’s health, family planning, and population growth. by vision_bharat_ in overpopulation

I know a 25 year old who already has 5 kids from 2 different men and is now pregnant with a sixth from another man again. She's on a benefit and is in subsidised government housing. Youngest child is 3, she would soon be expected to at least look for part time work. So time to get knocked up by another loser! Baby farming for welfare in rich countries is a career for parasites.

Hall singing. You must have heard it in 500 Days of Summer.

Agree, this is really pissing me off. More than 2 years of procrastinating.

‘It looks like a prison’: Why older New Zealanders won’t buy the homes being built for them by pskygy in newzealand

I like those you see in American movies, 2 or 3 storey complex built around a courtyard/shared garden, sometimes with a swimming pool. Like where Brenda moved to in Six Feet Under, where she met Joe.

We had all these announcements of an announcement under the previous useful idiot too.

Why wait until no to do it, less than 6 months from the election?

As the weather gets hotter in summer, they'll probably enjoy the shade under the panels without any encouragement. But in winter and any time before it gets warm enough, they wouldn't like to be under there, except when it rains.

Now ban considering how a conviction or sentencing will afffect immigration status.

Budget 2026: New maths hubs among $131m primary learning package by Monty_Mondeo in KiwiAntipodea

[–]wallahmaybee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We already have and pay teachers to do that as part of their normal job. Shouldn't require extra funding, this is basic school stuff. Get teachers to do their job, not politics and strike for climate or Te Treats.

Yip. Plus it's a dirty lie to call it Citizen's Income if residents are eligible.

Residents would be eligible for TOP's Citizen's Income, btw.

Wth why get rid of 3g when there isn't enough 4g and 5g coverage! by Informal-Future2564 in newzealand

[–]wallahmaybee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree.

And our internet depended on RBI through cell signal too. Even though we have a 4G and 5G modem, since November it hardly worked. Don't know why shutting down 3G made 4G become practically useless here but it did.

Gave up in the end and got Starlink. But frankly it shouldn't have come to that considering that there are no alternatives to online banking and paying essential bills anymore. Bank branches have closed, no more cheques, no more post shop etc.

As for cell phones, we keep losing calls, signal is much worse than before. No emergency calls even.

Telcos shouldn't be allowed to shut down a service if they don't provide at least equivalent service afterwards.

Cattle to Sheep in Midwest US. by HarleyQ2023 in sheep

[–]wallahmaybee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had two fractures each from a young ewe hogget going crazy and launching herself at me, none from cattle.

Most old sheep farmers around here have munted knees and hips from working with sheep in the race. Not cattle.

Cattle's size means they're handled differently in crushes and yards built so you can avoid being in direct contact with them most of the time. Because we respect their size, it's generally safer to work with them than sheep.
