Considering how big some stores are in countries this doesn’t surpirse me, if a small supermarket near me can already have 20 different ketchups then why would the massive general store in the nearest city not have a wall of sex toys?

In The Netherlands this is pretry common as well, heck in even abroad I have been asked the question

Basically, nobody sells it, but you could technically produce milk in a way more animal friendly way. The current breads of cows all over the world have an influx in milk production, so even if you do not take the calf away and milk them manually, it would still be enough milk to use/sell.
This is all hugely theoretical unless you yourself have a couple cows that you milk for personal use or a small farm.
You are probably just anti-milk industry than actually anti-milk.

That I don’t know, but they also show prices excluding sales tax. Some online stores even do that when they are selling to Europeans and they are required to include the VAT (we also can’t know if they have to pay VAT or not)
- Comment on Smart option 5 days ago:
Yeah, but that is the US and my point still stands.
Can also be in Canada and the tax would be excluded

There is a difference between a country being corrupt and a country having corruption or a lot of people in a country paying for corruption (in other countries). You can check the corruption index if you want.

It has taken a while, but now regulating bodies are actually looking at who is the ultimate beneficial owner of a company and they will try and stop overtakes. Well, not in corrupt countries, but it is so hard to get anything properly done in a corrupt country that it doesn’t surprise me.
- Comment on bad board games 6 days ago:
To be fair in the real world we do have instances stopping people from buying everything, it is just that some countries are corrupt af.

I have become more left orientated after years went by, but I have always been decently progressive. Not every country allows for the full political spectrum sadly so a lot of people have to choose between progressive left and conservative right, but it isn’t the only way/
- Comment on Smart option 6 days ago:
I rather have that than the prices excluding tax

People have overbid 10-20% or even more here in NL in the last few months for all kind of houses and apartments. Including once that need a ton of work.

There will still be a lot of people homeless even with affordable houses since they most likely cannot afford a house. Social housing doesn’t have to be affordable, it just needs to be there, but that has little to do with the availability of houses and more the amount of people that can be processed by the system. At least in NL.
The issue all around the globe is people owning more than one house. You can only live in one so they rent them out. Generally asking way to much since they took a mortgage for it, costs are deductable against the profit. So you always end up paying the mortgage rate for the house you rent + a profit margin for the owner.
If you stop people having 2, 3 or more houses or at least make it a lot less likely for people to own more than one. In NL some people are also debating if we should remove the deductibility of mortgage rates.
Houses costing 1m or more being empty doesn’t do anything for the homeless, they will not be able to afford that. A lot of the houses in the empty house statistics are include houses being built/renovated/destroyed etc. Heck in the US (and other countries) you have some ghost towns, are those counted as well? Or houses that are rented out for tourists? How many of them where empty for more than 6 months?
Taxing empty houses is fine, don’t get me wrong, but the not building medium density houses, places where you can walk and/or bike and actually want to live, the lack of social security and people owning 2 or more houses are issues as well.
- Comment on Grandma is on her own 2 weeks ago:
Most people aren’t homeless because there is no house available no.
You want to tax just having that second home

The plummer cost will most likely be for you if it clogs the drain, otherwise you have a pretty good landlord.
- Comment on Breaking the generational barriers 2 weeks ago:
Most restaurants have a grease trap, but most houses do not.
Even what is naturally in the pan is often to much and you need to clean them with paper towel before washing. At least according to the Plummer I work with
- Comment on Breaking the generational barriers 2 weeks ago:
Why into general waste? Just put it with the other glass, they wash that anyway.
(Btw they are not happy that you do this, but whatever)
- Comment on You can only bring back one. Which do you choose? 2 weeks ago:
Probably none of them, I prefer MOM-and-pop shops

Considering I work in the accountancy, yes, I have heard of Goodwill /s.
Considering the closest Goodwill or Value Village is like a 9 hour flight away it doesn’t do me any good.

I mentioned the arr stack somewhere, I believe.

Honestly, if I wheren’t addicted to Lemmy or Reddit, I would have a pretty decent life.

Oof, yeah I hate the lack of proper payment platforms on so many websites. Even Amazon.com doesn’t offer a lot more than creditcards, which I only got after buying my house otherwise my mortgage would have been a lot lower …

Well yeah I am probably talking about UHD BlueRay, it has been a bit since I looked that closely to it. I just remember the Back to the future trilogy for 140 euro

You have brushed in New York and Philadelphia this we Sorry, not sure what you mean by this (not a native English speaker)
- Comment on Just.....why? 2 weeks ago:
You can use the Oral B with some electric brushes to see where you have brushed and where you haven’t to help you with not missing anything.

Well DVD’s are yes, but Blu-rays are rare second hand. Heck, they are rare online and in stores, at least in NL and the parts of Europe I can order from.
As far as I know, the libraries here don’t really store a lot of movies and games any more.
These days I just use the arr stack … Doesn’t work for most of my music though.
I hate subscriptions with a passion and only pay for a couple that are needed (domain, website, bitwarden, Proton, etc), but for things like music, physical is way more expensive than Spotify (especially now with the family discount and I get it for free), buying the album of every band I listen to at least one song of. Finding a Green Day CD for a couple euro is possible, but even for things like Kensington it is already quickly 10 euro per album. Heck Discogs even has issues realising that Europe is not a country …

I hate these subscriptions everybody and their mom has, but it’s insanely expensive to buy blueray discs these days, it’s easily 30-40 euro per movie f.e.
