We keep up with the mortgage because the minimum wage here is $16USD.

The average Australian citizen pays $17,000 in taxes as opposed to $14,000 for seppos.

For that, I know myself and all my fellow Australians will never be crippled with medical debt, as going to the hospital is always free. We have the second best health care in the world, right next to the UK.

Us Aussies like to look out for each other, rather than you individualistic, seemingly selfish yanks.

PNW?

Damn, $3.50USD gets you a flat white/cappuccino/latte here, I don't know if you'd find pour over coffee. And people here are upset at THAT cost, with home espresso machines taking off accordingly. I'm surprised Americans drink so much coffee at that price.

Wait what's the joke

$5USD for a coffee, is that normal? Is that inclusive of a tip? Here in Australia Id leave the register if they tried charging me more than $3USD, and we don't have a tipping culture (thank god).

I find I often have to stop for a moment and imagine her life up until the sniper shot. Like, you and I have ONE life, and it's EVERYTHING, and this girl's went dark for the remainder of the universe.

I think in the future we'll wean ourselves off milk like proverbial calves, and transition to ethical and environmentally friendly alternatives like oat. Don't need to worry about exceeding acceptable faeces and pus limits with oat milk.

Vegan diets are popular in third world countries because they're considerably cheaper. Meat is cheap in western countries because it's very often subsidized by governments. Meat consumption by wealth proves eating animals is a luxury.

Also veganism mantras always have "as far as is practicable". I bought a Samsung phone because Fairphones don't work here in Australia.

Unless you're a male chicken, then your range is whatever the dimensions of the Live Rooster Masher is.

Oh I upvoted it because I'd never seen the bot before, and liked the idea (even though it didn't work here). I have the mediafactcheck add-on which simply shows a websites bias in my Firefox toolbar, I think it's a good idea to have media bias constantly in the public eye.

You could probably say that to the majority of social media comments, right?
