I'd love to have this conversation in a suburban mall food where the average bmi is >30

Anecdotally it feels that way in modern society.

Ask a random person if they believe Fox news.

At this point the foreigner is more Japanese than the local friend.

Its great to be an optimist and think movies don't cause harm, clearly not everyone got the memo, there's some really crazy people out there.

Twitter links seem to rarely work without having the app on mobile, it's disgustingly blatant dark pattern stuff.

Blackberries are a national pest, and yet sell for $80/kg in supermarkets. The average person could collect over $50 worth from the side of the road in under an hour.

Australia is not known for its efficiency nor logic.

Guessing the sentiment here is that this is bad? Why exactly? Is Glasgow not growing and ever more people needing roofs over heads?

I've never once heard a person hate on farmers for producing too much food for consumption but the moment developers come even close to meeting demand for housing they are considered on par with criminals.

Both are essentials for life. Yet an abundance of one may reduce an individuals personal wealth.

In my country developers are banned from political donations, bikie gangs (organised criminals) are not.

Browse around or ask questions on the forums. Reputation is everything on darknet markets, a reputable seller from your own country is highly unlikely to do you wrong.

The children of senior officials routinely study overseas, it's painfully mundane.

As for China "ramping up anti-western rhetoric", I'm truly struggling to see what you mean being in a unique position between the two, would actually say the opposite. Are you sure about that or is it more a localized viewpoint far removed from statements made by the Chinese government and media arms?

Or perhaps less inflammatory and antagonistic, would you support private property even if it were levelled against oneself?

The masses will beg for more oppression if you can keep that up.

I guess the "anti-censorship activists" aren't here to save me today. Oh well, trivial problem for me, tad bigger issue for HK.

Is censorship bad my friendly digital co-inhabitants?

Or did the my comment just hit the scraping regexes in the right spot?

I too am watching the ever-loyal Kurds get slaughtered by a NATO member with the overt approval of the US military.

I wrote a comment on the internet in response.

Problem solved?

They are a US based website subject to those laws, even if those words posted on their site didn't violate laws, it's entirely legal for them to censor at will for any reason they deem ok.

Got a good chuckle at "anti-censorship" activists. Last I looked that was the alt-right. Free speech is a dirty word associated with Nazis for many people today (especially outside the US). Find it terrifying how many of my enlightened friends consider blanket censorship and deplatforming a legitimate way to deal with unpleasant types.

Guessing the author is aware of that modern anti-censorship fervour is almost entirely isolated to a group of people not exactly popular with the audience.

Fixing negative connotations with a vague rebranding is the pinnacle of marketing and the antithesis of journalism.

As in US Constitution free speech? I can think of dozens.

Make them care and things might change, truly. Don't bother with CEO's or governments, we all know who they serve.

To pretend like it was a moral issue is insane. Most people don't care in the slightest in democratic countries. Virtually every country involved in sending troops couldn't point to it on a map nor talk about the region with any sort of knowledge. We walked in and replaced Hussein with ISIS. It will go down as 21st century Vietnam.

China has nukes. Absolutely nothing will happen regardless, just like 30 years ago. Perhaps some more outrage on twitter I guess?
