You should have that flexibility. There should be enough housing stock that you can move to another city and not have to worry about struggling to find a place, arranging visits for them to be cancelled or leased before you can even view it

There are alternatives that will work without JS though.. obviously the majority of people use it by default, but if you don't want to have it enabled there is plenty of other options.

It's a nice anecdote, but I've lived and travelled in various African countries and never been sick from consuming fruit, vegetables or pressed juice. I'd be much more worried about eating poorly butchered and stored meat. Th

But surely there would be a great difference between milk produced on an industrial farm vs a small village with a few dairy cows? In the same vein I wouldn't eat raw beef from a supermarket but high quality beef can be enjoyed as stea

What.. here in the UK if you're employed then you do not do tax returns, it's automatically deducted from your salary.. and businesses charge VAT at point of sale.. Nothing "dehumanizing and depoliticizing" about it, in

There is a human right to assemble and protest. This does not mean that people can break the law doing so, but there is a fine line and pretty much most protests involve some level of disruption. As said a few times now, if people are actua

A bit disingenuous as I don't believe (limited knowledge of the protest) they're stopping people from transacting, at least not at the same level/significance as freezing peoples finances. However I did already answer this, y

Fructose in fruit is trapped in the fibrous flesh and takes longer to digest. As it progresses through your system, a good portion is consumed by the gut microbiota so it doesn't have the same impact on your body. Processed food using

Funny how things are between people. I hugely cut down on meat and mainly eat fruit and veg, with some chicken and fish but rarely red meat. I too feel better than ever, lots of energy.

From what I've read though, the sugar content in fruit isn't metabolised in the same way as say a bar of chocolate.

One of the single most important things we can do to slow the spread, is isolate when we're sick or in contact with someone that tests positive. If we did this one step effectively, it would reduce infection significantly. It's so

Shouldn't people be isolating regardless of vaccination status, so the argument that they're sick for shorter amount of time is redundant? Why do we care about the virus spreading, it's always going to spread.. the concern sh
