  1. CLIMATE CHANGE: THE HOAX THAT COSTS US $4 BILLION A DAY

    One side point which stood out to me from the quote is the notion that our consumerist lifestyles and culture are voluntary. I would be skeptical of this claim on a few counts. Firstly given the vast amounts of resources spent on marketing each year. With figures suggesting that worldwide...

  2. Report Shows Daunting Levels of Modern Slavery

    I would say that going by their definition they are giving extremely conservative figures too. As I would include things such as sweatshop workers in any category of modern slavery due to the conditions and nature of the work. It is absolutely stretching the definition of the term voluntary to...

  3. Another country's money?

    I have seen Australian and Japanese currency. I have also seen Monopoly money but I don't think it counts since it was the New Zealand edition. Therefore it is New Zealand currency.

  4. Tomatoes everywhere!

    Maybe the company I work for is excelling vastly more than I give them credit. :LOL: :LOL:

  5. What are you currently watching?

    Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai

  6. Tomatoes everywhere!

    Well done! Progress is made through small steps. 😂😂 I work in a distribution center and I can't even imagine this even happening twice in a year for us. 😂😂

  7. Birthdate

    A former coworker did that to me last year! Randomly wrote a happy birthday message to me on the staff whiteboard in a totally unrelated month. Had people wishing me happy birthday all shift. A team leader even gave me a box of chocolates and a card on behalf of the company. 🤦 I shared the...

  8. A Modern-Day Lynch Mob....

    I wouldn't be surprised if she had other issues going on in her life. Not that this would justify her behaviour in the slightest.

  9. Free Speech Group Criticizes University's Condemnation of Professorial Remarks Concerning Queen's Passing

    I must admit to be surprised, I wasn't expecting a free speech group to show this level of integrity. Especially as they tend to be more often than not be right leaning in their politics. As for the tweets themselves, I have been seeing increasing critiques levelled at the Queen for the role...

  10. A Modern-Day Lynch Mob....

    Unfortunately there is a troubling trend of White women being enablers for racism, so this doesn't surprise me. It isn't any of her business whether or not someone else is wearing a bra. So much entitlement to other peoples' bodies.

  11. Is a university degree necessary to get a good job?

    It shouldn't be necessary. And in some fields it isn't necessary. Unfortunately in an increasing portion of our societies we are finding that it is being used as a gatekeeping measure. The attainment of a degree is being used to maintain social hierarchy which is why we are seeing things like...

  12. Should the rich be taxed more?

    Yes, I absolutely agree with the notion that the rich should be taxed more. This applies to tax brackets, areas of income actually taxed and the closing of loopholes.

  13. Pro-life or Pro-choice?

    I am completely prochoice. I think that whether or not she goes through with her pregnancy should be at her discretion. I also think part of this means the ready availability of reproductive health facilities so that the right to an abortion is actually feasible and not locked behind geography...

  14. TX Court Throws Out Prescription Requirement of ACA

    While this is extremely discouraging, I am not surprised at the ruling. There has been precedent for conservative judges to rule in this way for quite some time in the US now. Off the top of my head I recall the Hobby Lobby being the first that pulled this shit. It is yet more proof that the...

  15. Dating multiple people at once?

    I totally agree with your sentiment. As long as boundaries and consent are being recognized and respected then it is all good. All the power to them if it is what they are happy with. I do note they corrected it in a later post. But someone could still be poly and never have dated more than one...

  16. Buying through Steam

    Yeah, I put most hours into it on PS3 and I put a few into the PSVR version. Have it installed on PS5 but playing Morrowind at the moment. It will be nice to go back to Skyrim afterwards though and not have to deal with attacks failing all the time at the start of the game. Yeah, it definitely...

  17. Buying through Steam

    It was more a limitation of the PS3 hardware that they didn't effectively manage to overcome. I do own it on other platforms though. Haha I am worse with Skyrim even as I own 4 versions. Oh my life. At least one of them is the PSVR one so it is different enough of an experience. Also own it on...

  18. Buying through Steam

    Yeah, I have had to be careful when it comes to buying games ported to the Switch. Some of them I have heard are terrible. But in saying that, I think it was on the PS3 that I had to learn this the hard way. As Skyrim became unplayable once my save file had gotten too big. It was very sad as I...

  19. Buying through Steam

    I mean they aren't wrong when they recommend those games I guess hahaha. Just unfortunate that wanted them on a different platform. Also the totally left field random games that I have absolutely no interest in at all. Yes! It isn't even always about the platform differences either. As I get...

  20. Tomatoes everywhere!

    Second time in a week!! It is bad enough it happened at all but comical that it happened twice in the same week. It is only Wednesday too! So plenty of time for a third performance this week. 😅😅
