Who knows what their intentions are, but they're still spreading a good message. And to be fair there is a difference between a fairly lax work from home policy and wanting to work from home permanently. It could also just be a smaller company where they don't really have official policies for things that haven't come up yet.

I don't understand how they lost against Apple but won against Google - which actually does allow you to download alternative app stores.

This is ridiculous, the first anti zionists were all Jewish. Some were even assassinated for their views. Zionism should not be conflated with Jewishness at all.

Judge really couldn't find a better phrase than 'miscarriage of justice'

I think they're commenting on all the people who thought it was amazing because they'd mostly been exposed to Marvel movies.

I rent an apartment in a big subdivided house, I live on the ground floor. An aircon unit just fell out of my upstairs neighbours window and landed just outside my own window. This was a bit alarming because not half an hour earlier I was poking my head out that window to water my plant (the plant is fine thankfully). There's a whole row of aircons sitting outside windows that could all also fall out which is also concerning.

I'm curious if there's anything I can do in the way of complaining to anyone about my landlord not providing a safe living environment?

I'm doubtful, but wanted to ask, just in case.

He bought it so he's the only shareholder. It's not publicly traded anymore.

So many good reasons to eat less meat.

I don't understand free speech absolutists. You don't think that maybe calling for all Palestinians to be killed is maybe a bit genocidal and should perhaps be discouraged on a social media platform?

Mind you this isn't a law and wouldn't lead to any actual limiting of liberties, it just means we discourage genocide on social media. Something that seems pretty reasonable to me, and I think any large enough platform should probably feel some obligation to do.

I didn't do that, I just communicated why I thought the video misrepresented the issue.

Disclaimer: I'm vegan, btw.

I hate things like this because I feel like they misrepresent the issue. Yes, I'm sure there's some morons out there that think you have to kill the sheep, but that's not what the vast majority of vegans think. Also it's great if this person is treating their animals well but that's absolutely not the case for the vast majority of commercial wool farms where practices like un-anaesthetised tail docking, mulesing and castration are common. And given the sheerers have quotas to make the sheep are often handled roughly and injured and when they get older and the wool quality deteriorates they're still sent off to a slaughter house all the same.

Sure there's some tiny farms out there that take good care of their animals and practice ethically and I'm all for it, but videos like this give a really skewed look at the problem by misrepresenting the complaints vegans have and also the practices on an industry scale.

Peace.
