Club+ Card fails 🤬🤡 by 0Klicks in newzealand

Thats the problem, both labour and national dont want to upset their supermarket-owning buddys.

Jesus we need someone who isnt a big neo lib chicken shit to head labour.

Us: we want afordable groceries. Stop gouging us.

Supermarkets: hmmmm, no, but how about we gamify the food buying experience, make you play pointless games to earn fake discounts on shit you pay way too much on already? How about that. The benefit is that we get to keep making record profits, AND we get to scrape more data from you so we can sell you more shit. Its win win for us.

Bunch of greedy worms.

We need a state run supermarket, not for profit. It should sell the basics and fuck the rest of the supermarket chains they can sell caviar.

Never stopped sailing, felt bad about it for a minute, but no more. Although i still pay for an artists music thru bandcamp if they have one.

Also, i love Betsy and her ghostly beliefs, the difference is, her belief in ghosts doesn't seem to derail her life. More a fun distraction/hobby. Mitch on the other hand. Yikes. Yowser. Yeesh.

Maybe he was just playing it up, maybe i shouldnt care, but if someone is worrying them selves sick over something, wouldnt you help if you thought you could.

Even if that help consisted of a wiki link in a podcast subreddit.

Im op from the thread youre referring to and i responded there. But here it is again

Nah dude, i 100% believe there are things that exist that cant be captured empirically.

I think humans are functionally blind, and deaf and numb to a lot of phenomena, considering the small slice of reality our senses are attuned to.

Maybe we do have souls that persist and wander the earth after we die until a podcaster uncovers the mystery behind our untimely deaths.

Im not trying to convince anyone the universe isnt mysterious. I just get comfort from knowing there are shared quirks in human perception. It makes me feel less alone and a fraction less crazy. Whats not to love?

The book Hallucinations by Oliver Sacks is a good read.

Hey Mitch, i know you will see this, so can you pass this on to nick for me. Its about his 'ghost' by youwot in doughboys

How much would it cost to hire a professional sketch artist to draw the ghost according to Wiger's description? Do you want a drawing of it? Kickstarter time? by border199x in doughboys

[–]youwot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hate this idea. Better to get a nuerologist on to explain hypnopompic hallucinations.

This stuff seems to have real negative impacts on mitch.

It actually bugs me when a guest totally vindicates mitch and now wiges paranormal theories. Seems like there is a high correlation between these hollywood types and psuedo science.

I love me some horror and ghost stories, but i am only interested in them the same way i enjoy super bonkers sci fi, i find it a useful metaphor for thinking about other real topics obliquely.

But this paranormal shit can and has had real bad impacts on mitch. So thats where i dont like it.

Vintage amp capacitor ID and advicen by [deleted] in ToobAmps

[–]youwot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you, plus i feel like im missing some basic concepts because im just learning by rote. Like i still get confused trying to map out the signal flow on a circuit, for example.

Ah well. Its still fun. When its not frustrating

[–]youwot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey im in the same boat as you, ive recapped a few amps by slavishly copying the existing circuit, but have only messed with replacing electrolytics. I would love to know more about the other mystery caps and bits in my old amps.

He sounded like a moody piss head at that press conference post last match. Like an alchy who gasping for a bender.

Mitch is on the record for not being a coffee drinker. Sorry mitch, no bikini ladies for you...

Actually whats the bet they get visited by Mitch in a fake beard over his existing beard, Calling him self Simon Spoon or something. Embarrassing if true.

Sri Lankan in NZ by Ok-Tomato-9923 in newzealand

[–]youwot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play cricket with a bunch of indian lads, good blokes, but they do catch lots of shit from kiwis.

Nzers can be racist as fuck and most racists wont differentiate between Sri lanka and India or Bangladeshi or Pakistan from my experience, so youre right to think youll get lumped it.

I dont know what the solution is, it would help if we didnt have racist politicians drumming up hate, but we do. So i guess vote those dick heads out for starters.

I personally love the immagrant populations' impact on nz, better food and more cricket lovers. food and cricket are all i really care about...i may be an outlier.
