I've seen people on here raving about it and finally had a look.

Eeeeee!

I immediately signed up and I'm already listening to Richard Armitage reading the first James Bond novel to me.

Audiobooks usually help me sleep but this is kind of exciting!

Blessed to suffer with some moderate to severe flu symptoms.

On a related note, how hard do you think it would be to train a rabbit to bring you a cup of tea?

Just seen an ad for an ice lolly:

"Sick of eating things filled with dairy and other unnatural ingredients?"

...Are cows not natural?!

I bloody knew it, shifty gits.

Life: things are going well, which doesn't usually happen! Nice!

Brain: when things go well, we get hurt. So now I must perform self-sabotage to stop the good things from happening. This will reinforce my prediction that it will all go wrong and make me feel in control that the same old patterns are repeating. If I didn't do this, there's a chance I might be happy, but that's too risky. Guaranteeing misery is easier.

...

Brains are FUN.

As someone not from New Zealand and who doesn't live in New Zealand, does anyone know of any written resources for learning te reo Māori? For a very beginning beginner!

I can find plenty of courses for residents. I just want a book that explains the basics but isn't written by AI.
