  • I live in Australia. We are widely known for our quality and variety of both coffee and beer, and I can tell you I'm in the same boat as the other guy. It doesn't matter what flavours you try to use to mask it, the bad taste of the beer or coffee still comes through. I imagine it's like those people that say cilantro tastes like soap, and even a small amount in a dish makes the entire thing taste like soap, even if they didn't know it was in there.

  • I assumed you had 2 points, the self hosting point about what you're saying now, and

    "keep in mind that its goal is not to help you but to have a conversation that statisvies you. You are basicly talking to a yes-man."

    about its ability to be a good therapist or not in general. I was responding to that. Sorry if I misunderstood.

  • Therapy is more about talking to yourself anyway. A therapists job generally isn't to give you the answers, but help lead you down the right path.

    If you have serious issues get an actual professional, but if you're mostly just trying to process things and understand yourself or a situation better, it's not bad.

  • If people were actually ready instead of all talk, there would already be riots and such. No one is actually uncomfortable enough to entertain the idea of real sacrifice yet. To lose the life they have, or potentially their actual life, to fight the oppression that's started/is coming.

    I think at this point the only thing that would actually make it hit boiling point is mass joblessness/homelessness/starvation. People have to really feel it and have almost nothing to lose to really start caring.

  • I think their point is a shitty doctors diagnosis is just as invalid as self diagnosis, not the other way around. A misdiagnosis can be more harmful than no diagnosis. A diagnosis isn't valid just because a doctor told you so, it's valid if it's correct.

  • Would most people notice that? Would they say something if they did? If this particular warranty is mileage based, I'd keep my mouth shut if mine was abnormally low. It's not like it's something that affects the functioning of the car, and has other potential advantages like higher resale value.

    And even if you said something, who is going to report on it? This is news because it's gone to court. You're not going to try to take them to court for it being low. At best you'll just try to get it fixed.

    I'm not saying this isn't something they would do, I just don't necessarily think we'd definitely see reports of it being low, even if it was happening.

    If they were actually doing this, and actually being smart about it though, they'd have it go over at a rate of say, 30% of cars, and under at a rate of like 10% of cars so they'd still come out on top but actually have it seem to be randomly faulty.

  • I got an Optoma projector for the bedroom that I love. It's about $1000 USD. Is that on the high end? I guess. I'd call it medium. But I know many people that spend that much and more on their TV. Works pretty well even in day/with the light on, obviously far better with the room darkened, and even has a gaming optimised mode.

  • Yes, when you come up with a word to describe people that others consider less/worse than themselves, they will invariably end up using the word to describe them as an insult to others. This will happen no matter how mundane or non offensive you try to make the word.

  • The thing is, even for rich people, the cooler bags are cheaper AND better, they're lined to keep cold things cool longer, and they hold a nice square shape, the sides are stable with nothing in them, so they're very easy to pack, and they're super durable, for only $3. They can be washed just as easily as any other bag, and can be zipped closed.

    Their fabric ones are also good size, quality, and washable, also for $3.

    The $15 ones simply make no sense.

  • Definitely in Australia. After single use got banned, the new plastic bags were 10c and were good enough they could be reused. When they got banned, we got stuck with paper ones for 25c or woven ones for a couple dollars.

    They also released $15 "washable paper bags" that I don't understand who is the target audience.

  • You literally said you "view the population", as in everyone, a certain way based on this.

    You then admitted it's not the majority.

    That's about as racist as you can get.

    Calling a country fascist for having fascist people in power is not the same thing.

    Feature Request: Jump to parent/context within comments

    Tried many apps since joining a few months ago, by far love this one the most. Has pretty much everything I could ask for and a really nice design.

    One feature I feel like I'm missing that I had on the reddit app I used to use is a button on comments that let's you jump to the parent/ context of that comment.

    I know you can follow the coloured lines/collapse the comments in between as a work around, but I really liked this feature for very long and convoluted comment chains to easily see what a comment is replying to.

    Thanks for all your hard work on this app, it really shows.

    Edit: Link.

    Hey there, new to this whole thing

    Grew up in Victoria but now live in NSW. Still trying to work this whole thing out so this is kind of like my test post I guess.
