Alright team, listen up! I’m on a mission, to get myself over to the Rugby World Cup and I need your help. I’m on the look out for work, both at the tournament and in the lead up to help finance the trip. Cheers for the shares and support. Can’t wait to see you all at the Rugby Word Cup!

With the mass exodus of voting New Zealanders, the overseas campaign machine needs to be oiled up and ready to go because there are huge numbers of voters for the left

You know what? Things are so fucked here maybe it's ok to rag on the media again. May as well get a few in while we still have some crumbs of an industry remaining

Help. My parents want to buy an EV and I'm a bit out of the loop with renewable transport in NZ these days. Anyone recently bought or have any Intel on where to buy, good new-ish models? Open to PHEV or pure electric, would want something like a 4 door sedan or small SUV.

Bro what is up with the cell service in South Auckland? Every telco is like 99% coverage everywhere Kiwis live and play... Except South Auckland? On a main transport corridor? (I'm on The Huia back to Kirikiricity)

Taking Te Huia from Hamilton to Auckland and it's so beautiful!! Free wifi, a decent priced cafe, lovely staff, nicely designed carriages with comfy seats, decent working desks, and power! You can purchase and charge both regional Bee and AT Hop transit cards. I guess good things are possible!

Te Ara Pekapeka bridge didn't exist when I was last in Hamilton. It's gorgeous! Maaori design motifs all throughout. Absolutely in love. Probably the best river access and space council have created too.

Waikato Uni closed their pool bc it's too Spenny to maintain or repair like what the fuck????? That pool was awesome. In a city with barely any places to cool off, it's such a shame to lose another vital resource.

A big thing being back home is seeing the enshittification of everything. Prices are either massively inflated and/or the quality is greatly reduced. And it's not just a little inflation, it's MASSIVE jumps in cost. $9 for two ice blocks?????????? Thanks Chris Luxon

NZ Grindr is so desperate lately. Like straight to asking for dick and cock. No decorum, no face pics. We need to end homophobia ASAP bc it's ruining us.

The Tūpuna Maunga Authority really have won the day with their mahi at Maungawhau. Gorgeous infrastructure, lovely native planting. I can't wait to see the next decades of growth up there. Put those noisy pākehā in their place.

That digital nomad visa is gonna do nothing but fuck locals. I've seen the impact in cities like Mexico City. Locals are pushed out of the nice housing, prices for food, housing, goods go up because theyre making USD, and locals are pushed out of affording their neighbourhoods.

There really is nothing like hearing "Kia ora" and sitting down knowing you're coming home. Air NZ just does it better

low-key one of the most insidious dumb guy beliefs of the last few decades to gain widespread purchase has been this notion that demonstrating pro-social behavior in the hope that others would notice and mirror it, one of the fucking building blocks of any kind of society, is somehow ‘fake’.
