Great idea, don't know how it would work in practice though.
And yeah, my email to my supplier this year was essentially "don't make me faux leave to another supplier again to get the good rate, just give it to me"

Love seeing all the psychopaths out themselves on cat threads...
Cats are fantastic companions, but there is no denying the damage they do ecologically. I think the ACT is moving in the right direction by progressively introducing laws to make all cats contained.
It's a better outcome for wildlife and the cats themselves.
Briefly heard this being discussed with a lawyer on ABC radio yesterday.
"would the ministers be liable?" "look, that's not clear yet. They could argue that they were performing their ministerial duties..."
When do we go full French on our political class?
Their day job seems to be to enriching themselves by fucking the country, and if they get caught face zero consequences. Shit's fucked.
I'm just here to staunchly defend Aldi's beans. Cheap as fuck and can make a decent brew with them.
You'd be better off talking to a brick wall than commenting on reddit on anything but small subreddits and expecting a reply.
Feels good to be seen here, and like you're actually contributing.
How were the Qld ones different? Softer?
I do love the crunch of the NSW variety, but worry without dental cover under Medicare I'm definitely going to end up paying thousands for it haha
I don't completely disagree with you. I don't think charities in developed nations are an effective use of money for the reasons you described and tax is probably a better mechanism.
But I would encourage you to look up effective altruism and specifically the book "the life you can save" by Peter Singer (perhaps Australia's greatest intellectual export)
The other day standing at the lights waiting to cross, for whatever reason it hit me like a ton of bricks as I saw half a dozen cars pull up to the lights.
"we're doomed, there's no way people will accept the changes we need to make right now to stand any chance of avoiding a climate catastrophe"
Heavy cars are just the tip of the iceberg. From the heavy ships burning shit oil in international waters, to agricultural methane, food waste, microplastics, etc, we're fucked.
Pessimistic, but I just don't see humanity coming together for a common good. We'll probably be ok in Australia. Rich, and far away from everyone but I feel for those in less fortunate situations when the crops stop growing and AC becomes mandatory to survive summer.
"Around 30% of respondents also perceived cyclists to be less than fully human."
What the fuck is wrong with people
