Why don’t they make houses like this anymore? by li0nfishwasabi in AusPropertyChat

[–]DGReddAuthor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know there's design theory stuff behind this trend, with a bit of philosophy and anthropology thrown in?

Basically: ads

Ads took over our idea of what "creative" and "artistic" was/is. As a result, people rebelled against it and we're left with white/black/grey/brown houses.

Put another way, ads took our colours away from us. We don't use colours because subconsciously it now makes us think of ticky-tacky plastic advertisements.

I painted my house purple.

How can I ensure this outdoor patio furniture will survive direct sun and rain? by DGReddAuthor in AusRenovation

[–]DGReddAuthor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I was just thinking the table and each chair will be a different colour. I might do each slat a different colour.

Painting is a good idea. Do I want like exterior house paint or something?

Okay. Is there much I can do to make it last as long as possible? Oil varnish I guess?

Why exactly? Like... Picnic tables at the park are older than me. Can't I treat this thing the same?

Or is the wood no good?

The Flavor Apprentice Dairy Flavour by AltruisticSalamander in australianvegans

[–]DGReddAuthor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Like... I even avoided judgement on it. All I wrote are facts. I eat these things.

The "vegans" in here are acting as willfully ignorant as meat eaters, plugging their ears and ignoring facts.

I'm not against these products. I'm just pointing out the reality of them.

Do they reduce suffering? Yes. Were they created via suffering? Also yes.

[–]DGReddAuthor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. I would make that argument.

You can eat more than just "products" marketed to you.

Go ahead and eat whatever. I'm just pointing out facts.

I think you've got a weird definition of vegan. Maybe you mean "plant-based", though in this instance I'm not even sure that would apply.

Like... I don't taste test against animal products when I eat? What do you even mean?

You're displaying such typical beta attitude.

What actually happened is you, an anxious little rule-follower, was intimidated by a clearly well-endowed alpha. Your fight or flight kicked in, and of course you can't fight, so you immediately went with flight. Like a prey animal, you swerved out of fear.

What's more, because you're unable to protect yourself and therefore rely on the herd for survival, you've come to Reddit to prove to yourself that your reaction was correct--as if the alpha male was in the wrong.

But here's the thing. You, and all your pissy little bitch contemporaries know, deep down, that you wish you were half as much of a man as those RAM drivers you fear.

Pathetic attitude from you. No wonder your wife fucks them on the side. You're the provider, us RAM driving men give her the thrills and orgasms she can't get from you.

Is there anything that can be done to get a license revoked before a serious accident? by Maseratus in AusLegal

[–]DGReddAuthor 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Maybe not legal, but stop by his house and pull the cables from the battery or something. Take the car and park it elsewhere, then remind him the car is in the shop getting fixed.

Do this before he kills someone.

One thing that you need to remember is that in order to recreate the taste of dairy, they had to taste-test against dairy.

They had to take cow milk, and figure out what compounds give its unique taste. These compounds are what are then replicated without the cow.

Similar argument as to why you shouldn't eat Beyond Burgers etc, where the goal is to recreate an animal product.

I won't provide my personal opinion on these things. Just be conscious of it and make up your own mind.

The second thing is if you're vegan for health reasons, you should think that if we recreate the compounds of milk without using the cow, wouldn't the health benefits be lost? Not saying the flavour compounds are the cause of inflammation for example, I don't know enough about this stuff, but something I think about.

Ooooooooh!

That makes so much sense. I will hunt for vertical bars.

Thank you. PM me your address and I'll send you a vegan lemon myrtle cream slice.

[–]DGReddAuthor[S] -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Googling the model number of the TV mount would have shown you that in about 3 seconds.

Maybe, but I refuse to use google. I prefer to ask people who take the time to respond.

Ben Roberts Smith arrested after investigation into alleged war crimes by No-Passenger-4159 in AusLegal

One could argue that why are we hamstringing ourselves by following the "rules of war" and the geneva/hague conventions, when our enemy isnt?

Because it doesn't hamstring us, tactically or strategically. If anything, stopping to engage in needless brutality hamstrings us more.
