Open the URL, I self-hosted a zip file with 9 photos so you don't have to visit a website that's filled with ads.

I wrote in 20 locations around riccarton and ilam. Most of my chalk was on riccarton road or perhaps 50 metres into a side street.

Houses in the middle of nowhere will be cheaper, but most jobs don't exist out there so I think main centres are a good way to analyse it. I've seen Vince say something about Jews maybe once. He is a intelligent guy but sometimes his views are a bit um, off the cuff. I watched a video of his where he describes New Zealanders as being "autistic" supposedly because they can't socialise well without alcohol. I laughed pretty hard. It was such a random opinion, somewhat true but still felt like it was heavy opinionated.
If the zoning wasn't regulated to benefit existing owners then apartments would be built, plus new townhouses, and these damp decaying places would be $100 a week. If there was an actual housing/rental market (you know, one with real competition, instead of a market that's propped up by government policy) that could work, but I'm not against insulation requirements. If they sent jackboot thugs to inspect homes and threatened to shut them down if landlords didn't comply, I'd fully support it.
Also, state housing normally means they have the house to themselves. I'm not in a state house or owning, I'm stuck in a crowded boarding house with 10 other people. The group that I'm in always has the lowest satisfaction, I'll bet. Everyone is complaining about each other constantly, that's also how we make friends, by bitching constantly about "the indians" who never stop talking loudly, and complaining about the Chinese landlord ripping us off. I'd rather have a stable house that I don't share with others, like an apartment. NZ lives in the past. Can't believe we don't have apartments in the suburbs of christchurch yet..........
What? I thought it was either YouTube Music on its own, or YouTube Music + ad free. I never saw a lite version.
These employers don't seem to care about the safety and dignity of staff either. After high school, a friend worked as a builder and he had to install pink batts without any protective gear, so he was itching like a p-head for days. I tried installing pink batts in an attic once. My goggles fogged up and I couldn't see a damned thing.
They focus on renters rights but I wish they'd do more about having a proper housing market. You know, complete with competition and stuff like that.
I'll support vandalism if they spray paint Parliament and glue their hands to the doors at Parliament, so that MPs can't get to work. Until that happens I won't take this group seriously.
You know Dave, I've just been emailing Christchurch councillors and I've had a few responses. I'm pretty good at getting information and finding out where to get press reports and stuff like that, but I struggle to understand the council. I don't know how I can oppose these residents' associations and I'm just learning that stuff now. We need a group that will make democracy accessible for someone who works 6 days a week, who can't attend most meetings.
These ultra-leftwing groups are just fecking dumb. I'm in favour of having apartments and cycleways and proper public transport, but I'd never agree to help the kind of activities which Restore Passenger Rail is engaged in. There are meetings at the local council that I could be protesting but I usually find out at the last minute, or after it's too late. Meanwhile, a death cult is attacking a business over an alarmist prophecy.
They could be helping me do something useful, like pry boomers away and stop them from corrupting the council.
Poorly, lol
But don't worry, some people are organising on behalf of Renters United. They haven't announced it yet, which annoys me. Let's hope it happens before the election and not after! Stay tuned. These other people are a few steps ahead of me. I'm done with organising, I'll leave that to the pros.
I'm in favour of public transport, but these people are an embarrassment. I've told them that civil disobedience is great, but please don't block roads. I suggested they block the door to national and labour party events, as an alternative.
You can't say it's bad until you've seen the mansion on Riccarton Road here in Christchurch. It's been gutted by arson, but it's still "heritage" lol. It's owned by a bank or investment firm or something. It should be knocked down and turned into apartments, with restaurants and shops on the lower level.
In all honesty we should all be running for community board. They actually have a bit of power. It just costs money to register, that's my problem lol. Priorities.
I've been looking for some old films to watch online and I'm looking at
Those last two inspired parts of the video game series, Metal Gear Solid. In Metal Gear Solid 3, a lot of films get mentioned by characters throughout the game.
On The Beach is one I heard about because Alex Jones was talking about nuclear war earlier this year, and he showed a scene from that particular film. There's a newer version of On The Beach but I'd always go for the original, or better, read the novel it's based on.
Recently I watched 2 old Soviet films
Some links
The Guns Of Navarone (this one costs $ on YouTube)
Only 'Old Men' Are Going To Battle, black and white version
Only 'Old Men' Are Going To Battle, colourised in 2009
It's disappointing that many films are 48 hour DRM'd and cost $4 or $6 despite not being restored
but...
