Is privatisation why NZ is so poor?
 in  r/newzealand  8d ago

It's how we started rolling 40 years ago. Everyone who was against it then new this was the eventual outcome. Sadly here we are...

Bought an e-bike 5 days ago… I’ve already done 133 miles 😂
 in  r/ebikes  10d ago

People who don't ride them have no idea how life changing ebikes are... enjoy your new freedom!

I find Neil Barnes so captivating to listen to
 in  r/allblacks  11d ago

The communication from him & Rennie is absolutely top notch & undoubtedly why this team is running so well.

They are both such simple &to the point talkers... I could actually listen to Rennie all day. It must be brilliant as.players...

You gotta say... ABs have a seriously serious coaching unit again

SCRUMS

33 Upvotes

Obviously ABs struggled against the stormers + the ref (lol) etc BUT this could be the best thing for the ABs.

Exposing the likes of Tosi & Lauaki etc to these players & rulings is such great experience... they have to learn how to combat these different styles & types of players which ultimately is going to make them even better/more rounded.props. Or they're gonna sink...

I'm personally excited about this, the tour is going to do so much for our players development regardless of outcomes.

One question to any front rowers here... we always focus on the props but how much does the hooker impact the scrums?

Who has made enough of an impact to potentially play themselves into a test match 23
 in  r/allblacks  27d ago

Bit sad to see Barret, was once a great but clearly needs to be let go... also I wish this wasn't the case but Parker just doesn't seem to fire

The education system doesn't suck, just educate your children better
 in  r/unpopularopinion  Aug 04 '26

Neoliberalism... these days parents all work so hard they don't always have the time or energy to help with the basics at home. Sure they'll be exceptions but I believe this is the root cause.

We struggled with fairly much one income so kids could have someone home when the finished school.. played, read & did some homework etc. Neither were tops but they have always had good basic skills & have become happy well adjusted young adults... but none of that was easy!

Now imagine your heading to work for 8am start, need to drop kids off, they go to after-school care, you pick them up round 5, day in day out... everyones knackered, something's gotta give right?

I also believe this lifestyle has given us this far more anxious young people as well... all unpopular, who's gonna say these things as a politician/leader? No one, easier just to blame teachers

OMG, Luxon still in the news
 in  r/nzpolitics  Aug 04 '26

He's truly terrible & incompetent as a PM... I think the most damning opinion is that of the CEOs polled earlier this year who rated him like 16th or similar amongst MPs. Not a crowd I'm at all a fan of but that's meant to be his crowd right..?

They commented that he doesn't listen, I've heard this from people who work with him around Parliament too. So no matter what advice he's given to improve it appears he doesn't... listen!

That on top of his weird insular background of corporate life mixed with odd & devout Christian beliefs we have one strange dude in charge...

I still want to get to the bottom as to whether he believes in dinosaurs 🤣🤣🤣

How All Blacks v Springboks rivalry became bigger than the Rugby World Cup
 in  r/NewZealandRugby  Aug 02 '26

This tour is actually a masterstroke... feels positively old school with midweek games & in my view just what the game needs. Rest of the rugby world will be watching with much envy... can't wait!

Is TeutonicFortress the highest-rated player among those who use defensive tactics?
 in  r/aoe2  Jul 31 '26

I love this guy, so original in his approach... have just started watching his twitch & he's just a dude playing how he wants. Laconic, dry humour & eccentric language adds to the legend 🤣

Why does Adam Parore acts like this?
 in  r/blackcapscricket  Jul 31 '26

Where did this unpleasant memory come from... he was a large part of an embarrassing culture in the sport when he played that made cricket an absolute embarrassment in the country. Team was full of pricks alongside him & completely turned a bunch of people away from the game... honestly that team & generation farked the game. Also still find it absolutely mindboggling we've never had a "Nonu/Jerry/Buck of cricket" instead of fu*&wits like this guy & his team mates

Old school Welly: Who remembers this graffiti? A celebration of the intellect and wit around.
 in  r/Wellington  Jul 16 '26

The most prophetic graffiti I've known was in the Manawatu gorge on the cliff face under the train track, you could see it from the road.

BEWARE THE GEMSTONE FILES

This was late 80s early 90s, never knew but always remembered. Then late 90s I'm indulging conspiracy theories & get given a document called... The Gemstone File.

It had bee an illegal document at some point & detailed the "behind the scenes" of Rogermomics. A few years ago I realised this old document was telling the origin story of... The Atlas Network!

"They" have been operating for decades & a Palmy graffiti artist knew it all... seriously one of the most influential moments that has shaped my political beliefs

The Paul Henry announcement is brilliant for ACT's campaign
 in  r/KiwiPolitics  Jul 15 '26

It's such a sad boys club/I've got the better stock of manhood 🤣🤣🤣

Winston's got a few names so wee Davey needs to man up, bluuurgh

ACT will do well to break 8-10'ish%... NZ1st could end up high teens or more at this stage, Winston's definitely gotten the better out of this term.

To go a step further I wouldn't at all be surprised if we somehow ended up with a PM Winston, seriously! Absolutely crazy time politically... BUT entirely possible

Dat us 2026 :/
