01:23:00 <Blockah> A can of spam here in New Zealand is $8.49 FOR FRUCK SAKES.
01:23:00 <Blockah> While only being $4.92NZD in America lol
01:24:00 <gee_man> yeah, it's gonna result in her losing the election
01:24:00 <gee_man> such is the nature of democracy
01:25:00 <gee_man> it's a good system when it works
01:31:00 <gee_man> i can't wait 'til we get vr ide's
01:36:00 <gee_man> without the headset, i mean
01:50:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> exchange rate bro
01:54:00 <gee_man> importing has taxes before you get any ideas Blockah
01:54:00 <gee_man> it'll probably work out to be the same cost
01:55:00 <Blockah> $3.50 in taxes for a $5 item bro like wtf lol
01:55:00 <gee_man> well there's delivery, too
02:05:00 <gee_man> it's rare that my pc is running this clean from malware
02:06:00 <gee_man> i feel like i should take advantage of it somehow, but i've got nothing to do
02:09:00 <Blockah> Spam used to be 29 cents in Amurica lol
02:10:00 <Blockah> Twas so cheap they used it in the War
02:10:00 <gee_man> yeah, and america's dragging australia into another one with china
02:10:00 <gee_man> it's gonna affect nz, too
02:11:00 <Blockah> What will?
02:11:00 <Blockah> America having a war lol?
02:11:00 <gee_man> yep
02:11:00 <gee_man> it's all about taiwan
02:11:00 <Blockah> Nah we'll be sweet mate, we got plenty of sheep, if we stopped all our stupid exports we'd have more than enough to live on
02:12:00 <gee_man> sounds like something jacinda ardern should do to fix the cost of living
02:12:00 <Blockah> They export all our good stuff for cheap to keep a constant flow, and sell us the crap for expensive to try get a double whammy lol
02:13:00 <gee_man> yep, we do similar things in australia with the price of natural gas
02:13:00 <Blockah> If every country served itself first then we would have dependencies on other countries that may or may not be in a position to aid lol
02:14:00 <Blockah> We wouldn't * Lol
02:14:00 <Blockah> Like if America goes to war or gets itself blown up, it shouldn't affect other countries, it literally should just be their own fault
02:15:00 <Blockah> It's like if I go take out heaps of loans spend it and then kill myself, then those people will be affected
02:16:00 <gee_man> weird analogy
02:16:00 <gee_man> but ok
02:16:00 <Blockah> Even though we have new technology and radda radda rar, I sometimes wish for the old days by the sounds of it lol
02:16:00 <Blockah> Well think about it
02:17:00 <gee_man> nah, i don't want to have suicidal thoughts
02:17:00 <Blockah> If NZ for example relies heavily on some imports from America and it America gets blown up that can literally wipe out supply chains in NZ to the point where food would become unaffordable lol
02:17:00 <Blockah> What I wasn't telling you to have suicidal thoughts wtf lol
02:18:00 <gee_man> i get what you mean, but the suicide analogy isn't my cup of tea
02:19:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> there will be no war with china ffs, china doesnt have the funds to go to war and NZ will be right no one really cares about NZ because they have too many sheep
02:19:00 <gee_man> lol
02:19:00 <Blockah> We have too many sheep but not enough sheep to be able to buy some cheap :(
02:19:00 <gee_man> clocks ticking on taiwan in 2029
02:20:00 <Blockah> I see all these american body builders eating 10 thousand calories a day of chicken vegetables and all sorts and I'm like wtf how you do all that on a stay at home job lmao
02:20:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> wtf has 2029 goto do with it all
02:20:00 <Blockah> I commented on a bodybuilders video like how many people he rob to pay his food bill?
02:20:00 <gee_man> 2029 is when the agreement of china/taiwan lapses, and taiwan then becomes a part of china
02:21:00 <Blockah> Thought it was all chinese anyway lol
02:21:00 <gee_man> the u.s. is forcing it's allies to defend taiwan, poking the bear, so to speak
02:21:00 <gee_man> by entering what china claims is their territory
02:22:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> so the yanks had some slut come in that apparently was suppose to cause war within a week......... ummm where is the war
02:22:00 <Blockah> I swear some sexy succubus is after me, I wake up and I notice I've got scratches on my back, not cool -_-
02:23:00 <Blockah> Must be my sexy sheep looks
02:23:00 <Blockah> Bahhhhhhhh
02:23:00 <gee_man> war won't happen until 2028/9
02:23:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> war wont happen period
02:23:00 <Blockah> We have no idea when war will happen and it doesn't pay to speculate, also, watch me get emo now that you said war :o
02:23:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> stop looking deep into shit man its not healthy
02:24:00 <gee_man> it's what i do best
02:24:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> and Blockah bro you gotta stop cuddling the cat its not healthy either bro lkol
02:24:00 <Blockah> To be honest you're doing a shit job at it bruh
02:24:00 <Blockah> Nothing is worth stealing your peace gee_man
02:25:00 <Blockah> Just assume the best or assume nothing at all I believe lol
02:25:00 <gee_man> i try to
02:25:00 <Blockah> Assuming war is gonna happen isn't lol
02:25:00 <Blockah> If it happens oh well not much we can do about it
02:25:00 <Blockah> If it doesn't happen there was no point in worrying about it
02:26:00 <Blockah> So save yourself the stress bruh
02:26:00 <gee_man> yeah, i'm an optimist at heart, but i'm also a realist
02:26:00 <Blockah> Stress kills quicker than anything
02:26:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> fuck man before 2029 the world could of being hit by another massive fuck off rock

02:27:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> or Luficer could walk the earth again and enslave us all
02:27:00 <Blockah> Yeah well it's not what I wanna spend my precious time on thinking about if it really was gonna happen
02:27:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> what facts there are no fact bro
