More likely to sit through game credits than movie credits myself

Sure, I’ve got no issue with teenagers, but the question had two answers that I felt were both incorrect. I don’t know how you solve that, because I don’t think giving the jury the ability to add option c is a good idea, but neither do I want to give bad advice just to move to the next question

Needs a way to skip a question. I got hit with some teenage drama, and honestly, neither option provided is correct

It’ll be really dumb if this works, but try explicitly turning cellular data off. I’m wondering if the connection bridging could be causing issues

eta: oh, and disable wireguard when you’re on the local network in case you’re not already

Ye, the medical thing concerns me. NZ has a national health record system that let’s you register a primary emergency contact. From everything I’ve read, that, coupled with the fact that we’re in a defacto relationship should be enough to prevent that being an issue. I hope that stays untested

I’m in NZ. Theoretically we’re listed as each other’s primary emergency contacts, so that shouldn’t be an issue. I just hope we never have to find out.

As for children, property etc. NZ has this idea of a defacto relationship, which you can enter into either by living together for 2 years, or by having a child together. It offers the same protections that marriage does. I think it gets a bit greyer if you just have a child together, but living together for 2 years is as good as a marriage in this regard.

Where it matters the most is if one of us passes away, but that can be negated through a will.

It could matter if we ever decided to move out of the country, but I don’t see us doing that in a hurry. We’ll cross that bridge if we ever get to it

Estate can be managed by having a good will drawn up, and in NZ there is no distinction between a married couple and a defacto relationship (living together for >2 years) when it comes to separations and property.

Marriage is a big ceremony where you declare that this person is now your family in front of the people most important to you. From that angle I’m on board.

Where I’m out is that you have to register that with the govt. I HATE that. I’m in a het relationship, and gay marriage is legal here, so I have no idea why that irks me so much, but it’s like, who the fuck are they to tell me my marriage isn’t real because it’s not registered with them?

Here there aren’t even any good tax benefits, so I really don’t see the point.

We’ll probably have a ceremony, but it won’t be a legal marriage.

“but you can call me the fediverse chick guy/person”

It’s looking like it’s going to be a good year for gaming.

Games I’m looking forward to:

Subnautica 2 The Outer Worlds 2 Death Stranding 2 (possibly. I’ll wait for reviews) GTA 6 (Assuming there is an offline, kernal DRM free mode) Solarpunk Paralives
