I used to be ACAB all day. I've got it tattooed on my arm (we're all young once). I loathed the cops more than anything. But then I starred to notice a shift. The NZ police have made a genuine effort to change over the last 10-15 years. I know Andrew Coster messed up badly recently but I think he did good as commissioner.

Yeah there are still pigs, but there shit people in every bunch, can't help that.

There's recent corruption stuff too but they are actively working on that and they prosecute their own when they mess up badly.

I'd much rather a dog was pepoer sprayed than shot dead like they do in the states. We don't know how lucky we are to not have a police force like USA. Obviously they aren't perfect, far from it, but I believe they are good and want to help.

Doing ok. Decided last night to cook more so I can lose weight. Been eating too much take out.

Did afew fixes on my server

Probably will buy a pair of shoes this weekend.

All pretty boring stuff really. Life is slower these days, I don't drink anymore but also don't have crippling lows like I used to. I have a family of my own now who I adore. Life is good

How are you guys?

Leave her be. Regardless of anyone's political views you can't say she wasn't hard working. She deserves a rest

Thanks so much for the detailed reply. I will look into that right now.

I saw that on the site earlier today. How did you find it to sew? Beginner friendly?

Looks great

Not suprised but certainly disappointed NZ is essentially aggreeing to hand personal information to ICE willingly.

Personal security and digital sovereignty is more important now than ever.

I'm not into this eh

Thank you for having me 😊

Kia ora!

I stopped drinking afew years ago as it got me into too much trouble but I'm sure if you come back and try it again it will taste as good as you remember it.

Unfortunately our political situation is much less desirable than it was previously. We just gotta grin and bare it.

Come back and do the track. Hope to see you here some time. It's a beautiful country

Such a barbaric army. The worst in a while

I hadn't heard of this. Is it a way to get discounts without using a card?

It says on the site its not good in NZ, is that still the case?
