Just a dude trying to find a replacement for my favourite hellscape.
PSA. If you know people with kids, and you see something in your house or something at a shop and think "aww little Bertram would love that". Don't. Just fucking don't. I'm doing my annual clean of my shed and so much shit we didn't ask for or want is hitting the bin. The kids don't use it.

Shoutout to Mark Mitchell for telling the press to stop asking how many people are likely to be dead in the Mount Maunganui land slip tragedy. He shouldn't have had to point out that the families are present, and an active rescue/recovery operation is happening as they speak, so now isn't the time.

2 years ago the flood waters at my in laws place were the worst they'd seen in their 35 years of living here. It was the first time they'd had to evacuate their chickens to higher ground, which thankfully we did as the chook house was fully submerged. We've just had to relocate the chooks again.

7yo son had a harsh lesson today about people who just phone shit in. His class did a low budget secret santa, sub $10 presents per kid. I don't fully love it because even $10 can be hard for some families, but that's not the point here. The kid my son had got a present she loved because he put 1/n

Holy fuck, there is nothing like a tragedy to bring out the absolute cooked takes on LinkedIn from people who don't mind being racist as fuck with their real name and employer displayed front and center.

Facebook can seriously get fucked. Ive reported this horrendous AI slop financial scam ad so many times and every time the feedback from them is "we don't see anything wrong here".

Weird how record unemployment and a massive cost of living crisis means the tax take is low...

The balls it must take to get up and say "kiwisaver is really important" after continually reducing the govt contribution to it is wild. Businesses are already stretched and most wouldn't be able to just suddenly up their KS contribution. Employees are also stretched and most can't afford less 1/3

So Nationals plan to fix the cost of living is by forcing employees to contribute more of their pay to KS, and employers to give more to KS despite the fact both parties probably can't afford that at the moment and all this will do is raise the cost of living as businesses adjust prices. . .

People love to slag off Jetstar, but I'm still waiting to board a Qantas flight that should've left 30 minutes ago and it occurred to me I don't think I've ever left on time with Qantas, but I've had maybe 1 delayed flight with Jetstar.

When did every restaurant/cafe decide they have to have a "special sauce" and why is it always actually just Sriracha mayo? And why can no one listen to my request "please don't put any special sauce/Sriracha on my burger". It's actually not hard to NOT put something on a burger.

Call me old fashioned but I don't think the place we should try to save money is with the folks who put out literal fires and save lives daily.

Going against all my introverted instincts and setting up the club I know my oldest son needs to make some mates, and if I'm being honest I could use these kinda mates in my life too.

It is fucking wild to me that all my 7 year olds friends all have a Nintendo Switch and in most cases a PS4 or PS5. You might think he's talking bs to try and get the same from me, but I've met these kids and often seen the consoles during drop offs.

This is cooked. Are we meant to feel sorry for a family with 8 mill in debt free homes, because the mum doesn't want to give up being a stay at home mum while her husband is the only earner and they are sending their kid to private school. I have no issue with people being wealthy but cry me a river

Shout out to my 7yo sons teacher who set the class a homework project of saving $90 this school term to buy a toy they want, getting them to pick the toy online, telling them their parents would pay them to do chores and at no point telling the parents what she'd signed us up for...

Hmmm why aren't job seekers uprooting their entire lives to move to NZs most expensive town with a notorious housing shortage to take a minimum wage job... only our best and brightest will be able to figure this out

Old Soviet joke for today:
A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.
After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”
“I’m looking for the obituaries.”
“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”
“Not the one I’m looking for.”
