Yeah, there's lots of alternatives available.

If you have a sodastream machine that takes the screw-top canisters, you don't even need to buy a different machine, you can just start buying generic screw-top canisters.

So Scarlett Johansson was in their ads for a while back in 2014, made a bit of a stir since she was also an Oxfam ambassador, and Oxfam are against the settlements.

When she had to choose between them, she chose Sodastream, and cut ties with the charity she had been involved with for more than 7 years.

Never really had a good opinion of her since.

ugh, sodastream was a shock to me.

thankfully there's an aussie-owned variant.

Thanks z_g.

There's also this one in case anyone's interested: https://boycott-israel.org/boycott.html

But she said Australia was not pursuing a blanket import ban on settlement goods, as other countries such as the UK, Spain, Belgium, Ireland and the Netherlands have either announced or imposed.

“We have concerns about the implementation of a blanket ban and unintended consequences for Australian businesses,” Wong said.

Cowardice, as we've come to expect from our government.

APAN/BDS Australia have a guide on boycotting Israeli dates in particular: https://apan.org.au/boycott-israeli-dates/

Of course, people should be boycotting all Israeli products, and other targeted businesses that enable and profit from Israeli crimes: https://apan.org.au/boycott/

Hopefully that sets a standard across the globe

I think he cooperated and stuff. Also on the abuse scale he was just starting to dip his toes in/caught out at the start of his descent.

It makes more sense for the police to sweep him up at this stage where has only a few incriminating files than to let him go deeper and potentially put kids in physical danger. He was a literal celebrity to kids and had access to them through school visits.

But the trade off is a pretty weak prison sentence. He'll still be paying for this for life, though.

Good.

Uber has been able to force their way into a dominant industry position by basically ignoring laws and regulations. It's long overdue that it catches up with them.

He got 7 months. It's actually a disgrace.

Possession of CSAM and conversations where he says 8 is the perfect age and he wants to make out with the little ones and "unfortunately" he hasn't had the chance to.

What the fuck are we telling people if these people are getting 7 months? And it says he's eligible for parole so what, he'll serve a couple of months? As a victim of CSA this is actually so disturbing. People like that can't be fixed (at all?) in 7 months.

Didn't this happen six months ago? It was pretty big news in Perth.

Ahh - he pleaded guilty in May - this is about the outcome of the trial.

Anyway - way to speed-run destroying his life/career. 🤦‍♂️

How do I, err.....

GET TO DA CHOPPA???

Worth remembering that her ex, the person many believe was the primary target of her murders, didn't come to lunch that day, despite her specifically urging that he be there. His comments seem to imply that he may already have been suspicious of her motives.

I have heard unsubstantiated scuttlebutt that her community knew she was a bit funny.

If only they had been able to get her the help she needed beforehand.

The help society now needs is retribution and being made an example off.

The problem is, being made an example of is not the deterrent normies think it is. The publicity and exposure is what some sociopaths thrive on.

You can see the prosecution’s plan. Give her a long non-parole period you know she is going to appeal then hit her with the removal of it so she is in for life.

Suck shit you evil, arrogant bitch.

Yeah, the "likely" in the headline probably refers to the slim chance that she successfully appeals this decision to the High Court.

She will now, she lost her 33 year non-parole period. Not that she was likely to make it out alive anyway, she doesn’t look like someone who would live into their 80’s

It'll be a flash in the pan.

Fasting doesn't take up much room in the cultural conversation.

Fasting is a pretty insubstantial movement.

Idk I got nothing

You better not mention fasting, or there is gonna be big trouble!

I think we already have a trend with animals and children.

I am replying to someone saying tanning, alcohol, and red meat are good

The fuck are you on about arguing about iPhone babies dropped on their heads with reading comprehension and then not being able to follow a damn comment chain, lmao

Alas, veganism will never take off as a beauty trend because it's something you have to do not buy.

alcohol: https://www.health.gov.au/topics/alcohol/about-alcohol/how-much-alcohol-is-safe-to-drink and https://adf.org.au/reducing-risk/alcohol/alcohol-guidelines/ both advise in clear terms there is no safe level. This was updated a few years ago in light of new research that threw out the supposed health benefits and collated studies demonstrating widespread organ harm at any consumption level. Take the drug if you want to but don't delude yourself. Use science not vibes you fucking moron.

tanning has no benefit and increases risk of skin cancer. Even using inside beds.

red meat: cancer council recognises cancer causing, nothing in it is necessary /and/ exclusive, high concs saturated fat, prior to maha american dietary association recommended elimination in favour of other foods, contribution to bowel cancer is well established.

Uranium is natural, arsenic is natural, funnelweb venom is natural. What's unnatural is how on every topic you consistently say the stupidest thing I've ever heard. From endorsing genocide to recreational cancer.

tanning, alcohol and eating red meat are natural and a good idea

all things in moderation is a good maxim
