PNW?

Damn, $3.50USD gets you a flat white/cappuccino/latte here, I don’t know if you’d find pour over coffee. And people here are upset at THAT cost, with home espresso machines taking off accordingly. I’m surprised Americans drink so much coffee at that price.

Wait what’s the joke

$5USD for a coffee, is that normal? Is that inclusive of a tip? Here in Australia Id leave the register if they tried charging me more than $3USD, and we don’t have a tipping culture (thank god).

Vegan diets are popular in third world countries because they’re considerably cheaper. Meat is cheap in western countries because it’s very often subsidized by governments. Meat consumption by wealth proves eating animals is a luxury.

Also veganism mantras always have “as far as is practicable”. I bought a Samsung phone because Fairphones don’t work here in Australia.

Oh I upvoted it because I’d never seen the bot before, and liked the idea (even though it didn’t work here). I have the mediafactcheck add-on which simply shows a websites bias in my Firefox toolbar, I think it’s a good idea to have media bias constantly in the public eye.

You could probably say that to the majority of social media comments, right?

I was in London last month, the city is amazingly quiet because of all the electric cars, buses, taxis etc. I read it’s like, 70% of all London City traffic is electric? It’s beautiful.

Strange hill to die on.

OP is referring to the word “Nazi” when referring to “the N word”.

SquigglyEmpire is trying to say that “the N word” typically refers to a derogatory word for black people, not for Nazi.

Video games would probably ban you for saying Nazi because it’s a nasty thing to call someone or be called. It probably isn’t relevant to the game and it’s a topic they’d probably prefer not to have discussed.

Here in Australia, our voting system means you can’t waste a vote. If whoever I vote for doesn’t win, my vote gets shifted to the next on my list.

Every year I vote for the Animal Justice Party, Environment Australia, Progressive Unity etc. They never win, but my vote is still registered as having gone to them. Eventually my vote shifts along and either lands on the greens who win my electorate, or labour. But they’ll still see that the Animal Justice Party DID get a lot of votes, and maybe the Greens or Labour will focus more on animal based policy.

If 49% of your American electorate votes blue, maybe your right wing winner will try to appeal to that sizeable demographic by not being so horribly right wing.

I swapped from my classic Granny Smith to Kanzi and/or SweeTango under his recommendation, and haven’t looked back. He turned apples from a bottom of the barrel fruit to up there with plums and tangelos for me.

The reason I thought apples were trash fruit was from eating the common varieties - the royal galas, the braeburns, the red delicious. Trash apples, not trash fruit.

Simply put, it’s sleezy. I wouldn’t want to hang around someone like that. Titillating anime pictures are on the spectrum of a mechanic’s skimpy calendar. They’ve prioritised sexual gratification over social decorum, which the choice in of itself, I feel would make women uncomfortable. What kind of guy does that?

There’s clearly a limit here, I’m sure you’d agree, perhaps your line is simply further back. Hardcore pornography is probably out, no? A fleshlight? A poster celebrating 9/11? Any number of these things wouldn’t interfere with my ability to work, but I certainly wouldn’t want to go near that person. You come to work to work, not to get a horn on.

Are you suggesting this question might be stupid

Gives me the ick, like some guy with a pornstar poster. If you can’t even go to work without having a sexualised image constantly in your eye line, you need to work on your priorities.

Huh, wasn’t aware of that. Well, after a bit more research, excluding that one species in that one study, there are no exclusively homosexual animals.

The issue with finding homosexual behaviour in animals is that it’s never exclusive. Homosexual animals tend to be bisexual at best, and can often be chalked up to erroneous mating.

A lot of these studies are used to validate human homosexuality and harm the “it’s unnatural!” argument touted by conservatives. However using a Call to Nature is fallacious, and could be used to validate all number of animal behaviour.
