As an outsider I don't have much insight to Australian politics, but all I've read about recently is their stance on fossil fuels and encryption. Based on that, from an outside perspective, I'd be very inclined to agree with

I used to order a ton from amazon, I now strongly dislike the company. Why is that? -Prices used to be universally pretty good so I could pick an item and order without much outside research. Now the prices are universally bad to the point

The problem is not "following up on a bad review" the problem is "I got called to offer me $20 to take the review down. Didn’t respond, they somehow got my review taken down anyway"

Amazon reviews have become almost entirely useless once they began bundling like items. I've had cases of ordering an item only to receive a similar item from an entirely different manufacturer or seller. Looking at the reviews you&#x2

You seem to be in the minority. I dislike the new keyboard a lot, and looking up info about the new keyboards online almost all of the posts and articles are negative. https://www.macworld.com/article/3385043/apple

That's certainly not true. For those of you downvoting me, my parents home is currently valued at 1.134m and at the time of purchasing my Dad made less than 250k a year. It absolutely is possible to purchase a house worth 1.2m making 2

Stating how I felt about my discussion with a user to another user is not ganging up. He seemed to be defending the company as if he had a personal stake and was acting willfully ignorant. That is an important thing to be aware of, particul

Those are unfounded assumptions and opinions. It also doesn't change the fact that that is the current definition of vegan. You can use the word however you want, but the way I'm using it is correct based on the dictionary definit

Sounds like you've never tried well prepared vegan food. If the meal you had was mostly carbs, that's the fault of whoever made the dish for not properly balancing the macros. And obviously plain, unseasoned, poorly cooked tofu wi

That doesn't make sense. A huge amount of vegan dishes have never been made with animal products and were never designed to be made with animal products

Your argument is that meat is better for the environment because it will cause humans to go extinct due to global warming so the planet can recover? That's absurd

Entirely anecdotal, but I went to a 10 course tasting menu restaurant in Portland last year that was about $300 per person and they had a vegan menu. I've seen other high end restaurants providing vegan or vegetarian menus as well in S

That's definitely not the norm. I'm in Seattle, and while it isn't hard to find restaurants with vegan options, you certainly won't "almost always" find vegan options if you just go into a random restaurant. I
