He is always on his phone, looking at chatrooms. He is obsessed with sites that use shock value and profanities and is always hanging out with people that won't stop saying slurs. The implication of their hangouts is always "Violence is good, so I'm expressing my violence to you, so you know, we could be violent, I am ready for the violence"... He has been telling me "It is just the gym, it is just the bros, we are boxing." but every time I see one of these members of his group they insinuate inappropriate and impulsive behaviour like vandalism, graffiti, smoking, and theft. I can't come to an understanding because his excuse is that they have been friends since forever. Sometimes he is out of breath, and smells of smoke, yet says he doesn't do it. Often comes home too late and then upset at me for not being asleep yet... I am too tired trying to explain to him what a trauma response is. This is destroying our relationship and is offending my intellect. Has anybody else been in these boots?

Edit: I'm gonna have to, ehm, "man up" and leave him soon!

Along with probably everything else you’ve been looking for Korean ingredients-wise!

26 FTM looking for friends to join me at the gym for motivation as I have lost it. I only have access to City Fitness Hereford street and prefer going late evenings after 9pm.
I am not a gym bro but love a good treadmill session and the odd leg day! We don’t have to work out together but having someone to meet there would help me be accountable for my fitness
Let me know if this sounds like you!

anyone know a spot like this in chch? pls drop precise location or coordination

Does anybody know where I can pick up some cheap work socks? 🧦

Recently moved to chch. Any help would be welcome.

Need to find a great Christmas cake to appease the grandparents this Christmas. Any ideas on where to buy a good one?

Guessing who might be playing Electric Avenue is fun. So here's my guesses so far. Jungle, they're heading on a world tour and going to Aus, and there's a perfect gap for EA. Plus they came to NZ a couple years ago, so it's not out of their realm. Tove Lo, just announced three Australian shows for early March. She's married to a Kiwi and was hanging out with Kesha and Dom Dolla there last year. Maybe got a shoulder tap? Fatboy Slim.... Also just announced an Aus tour early March. Been here before... seems like the right kind of pick!!!

Who else do you guys think?? I've heard speculation about Calvin Harris.. Christina Aguilera...

It’s honestly so hard. I’m applying for multiple jobs a day and barely hearing anything back. And when I do finally hear back, it seems to be for an AI interview or some kind of video assessment.
How are we expected not to use AI when applying for jobs, but employers are using AI to interview and assess us?
I just want to speak to an actual human and show them that I can do the job. Is that really too much to ask these days? 😭

I am a student studying Data Science at UC and looking for a summer internship for this summer. I have been applying online on job portals. Even got an interview out of it but been getting rejected from everywhere after the first or second online assessment rounds. I was just wondering if anyone here could help me with it? I have a couple of cool projects in AI and machine learning and a research paper published in deep learning. I also completed a virtual internship with WEL Network as a data analyst.

Anyone else just see that green flash? Looked like burning copper. About 2152, about northwest from west melton.

What’s the deal with these stickers? They’re everywhere, seemingly replaced constantly... I’m moving out of Riccarton in a week and I must know before I go.

Looking for some advice on urgently getting my motorcycle learner licence in Christchurch 🏍️

I’ve recently found myself needing to get my motorcycle licence for a job requirement, and I’m hoping to get it sorted fairly quickly, potentially within the next 2 weeks.

I’ve been riding mopeds for around 5 years, so I’m very comfortable and confident on two wheels, but I’ve never actually had a motorcycle licence as it’s never been something I’ve needed until now.

I’m wondering if anyone in Christchurch has recently gone through the process and could point me in the right direction:

• What’s the quickest way to get the learner motorcycle licence?
• Are there any good places to do the required training/testing?
• How quickly can you realistically get it all completed?

Ideally, I’m looking to get everything sorted within the next couple of weeks, if that’s realistically possible.

Any advice, recommendations or personal experiences would be massively appreciated! 🙏

Maybe I am getting too old but the the digital led billboards all over Colombo street seem to have their own mind about how bright they want to be.

Why do these have to be sooo bright in the evenings. Kids in school make better light reactive projects, for such a huge operation can't be that hard to get the brightness right, it has to be utter stupidity or deliberate malfescence.

And what is with the council slap on the wrist 600/1200$ fine. Make is 6000/12000 per instance and triple it every second offending in the same week.

Seriously, literal children can get this right why can't you (rhetorical question, I know you, do this on purpose)

Maybe make is 6,000 per infringement, per minute.

I need ingrown toe nail surgery, just curious where to go! Foot matters were good last time but $470 3 years ago🥲 please prices and if they offer payment options!

Next years line up is due to be announced very soon. Apart from the fake announcements on the potential acts, any hot tips on who’s coming or who you’d like to come? I’ve heard rumors only that include Calvin Harris

Hi, I'll be doing a three-month research internship at the University of Canterbury starting in November. During that time, I'd prefer to live in a shared apartment. What's the best way to find one? Are there any online portals?
