I was traveling overseas and I bought a pair of counterfeit adidas pants for 10 bucks or so. I have been wearing this for a while now and in my opinion it's superior the adidas pants I normally buy at rebel sports for 100 bucks or so. The pockets are deeper and the logo is sewn in rather than one of those plasticy stick on things. Also the fabric hasn't pilled yet which happens to my genuine adidas pants rather quickly.

The thing is they look just like the real branded goods, down the the labels inside. You really can't tell them apart except maybe the fabric is a little thinner (which I actually like).

Are there places in NZ where I can buy counterfeit goods? I never realised they would be better than the real things.

Your tax dollars are going to John Key folks. This is how the privatisation of state housing is going.

Sir John Key and other directors of Palo Alto Networks are named in a lawsuit alleging they made false and misleading statements about the company’s products.

Key sold shares in the company last December for more than US$700,000

Key said the ‘copycat’ lawsuits were based on unproven allegations and had no merit.

Green co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick has used her first “State of the Planet” speech to accuse the coalition Government of privileging lobbyists and the wealthy, at the expense of workers’ health and the environment.

Surely all these people losing decent paying jobs will have no impact on the economy right? Definitely not a recession right?

The important thing to keep in mind is that there is a significant proportion of the population that wants this and is going to vote for right wing parties in order to stop the "trans agenda"

So I was at the kebab shop today and was about to order my usual lamb kebab but suddenly it occurred to me that even though the kebab had cabbage and hummus and tabouli on it it wasn't woke enough to trigger any nearby National or ACT voters nearby so I switched the order to a falafel.

I ordered extra hummus but I was in a quandary about the sauce. Should I go with yogurt or avocado? I really didn't think it would taste good with both of them and after a quite a bit of thought I went with plain yogurt without garlic. I don't know if that was the right choice in terms of wokeness but it did taste good. What do you guys think is more woke yogurt or avocado? I think the avocado might actually be more woke because it would make the kebab vegan and nothing upsets David Seymour more than a vegan except maybe teachers, trans people, people in a union, people who work for a living, government employees, students, doctors and nurses, people who need healthcare etc.

Also are Jalapeños woke? I think they might be because of the spelling alone but then again I don't think they have them in the middle east.

Finally the kebab tasted great, was filling and has a reasonable cost. Might have even been healthy who knows. Highly recommended.

Please keep this handy for when Seymour starts coming after parents who feed their kids Quinoa and hummus charging them with child abuse.

Remember folks. Only feed your kids high carb, high fat, fried, nutritionally empty foods.

Also of course no vegetables of any sort.

People are already putting in soy milk, almond milk, oat milk etc why wouldn't they put lab milk?

If you close your eyes the face id won't work. I suppose the police could force you to open your eyes somehow but if they are going to do that they can force you to put your pin in too.

Every prediction made about global warming has underestimated both the severity and the speed of the oncoming catastrophe.

I have no idea why this country sucks at infrastructure so much. Road are a mess, trains are a mess, ferries are a mess.

I disagree that they are tiny and harmless. They are quite organised both IRL and online and will be a significant factor in getting National elected in the next election.

This is only for people who already have mortgages with Westpac and only interest free for five years.

In other words they are helping people who are already deeply in debt to sink even further into debt.

Aside from that the have nots are not buying new cars electric, petrol, hybrid or diesel. They are buying shitty old Japanese imports.
