Oh every economist is saying there won't be a market crash.
Following the logic of Dashwood's Law (economist predictions are always wrong), this means you should prepare for the end of currency as a concept and stock up on survival supplies while paper money trades.

Sure, the ferry cancellation was a disaster for NZ financially and the reduction in scope of the project will cause irreparable damage to our infrastructure but the new contract will enrich China so on balance it's a net positive, gotta give Willis the W on this one.

- International affairs www.stuff.co.nz/topics/inter...

I popped off on Twitter but basically this government is actively working to destroy public education and it's not even subtle anymore

Dating in Hamilton is kind of elite as an educated leftist man because your competition is like 99% fish boys and hunter dudes. It can be hard to find a date to start with but existing is enough to make a good impression lmao

Every novel should have Parry mechanics and invincibility frame dodge rolls. Cab you imagine how sick pride and prejudice would be if Mr Darcy could parry a lady's affections. Crime n Pun if Rodion could dodge roll through his feelings

(The original quote is: “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”)

Matched with a lady who had game of thrones in a photo behind her so I asked her what her favourite books were to try and bait out a pleasant conversation about Jon Snow and she dropped "I love Harry Potter and Animal Farm" on my lap fucking RIP

Getting really excited over someone's dating profile on an app is the modern day equivalent of Henry the Eighth getting bricked up over the portrait of Anne of Cleves

Every time a pretty lady shows even a hint of romantic interest in me the little guy inside the cockpit in my skull places both hands on the sick as fuck looking throttle labelled "fumble" and punches it like he's sending the millennium falcon to lightspeed
