That's also why Trump was so effective at getting votes.

It's a lot harder to argue when you're following laws and being honest. You're at a severe disadvantage (same as Kamala)

Trump doesn't care about the truth, he doesn't care about law, and because he KNOWS he can't pardon himself for state crimes (like tax fraud in New York), despite being president, he WILL likely go to prison after his term. There is NO incentive for him to do whats right, and everything he does at this point, is driven by keeping himself out of prison.

For anyone else, civil war would be terrible. For Trump, starting a civil war means he can claim its "war time" and postpone elections. We've already seen how low he's planning to stoop to.

Just a heads up. BrainInaBox is banned off many servers.. And, they claim everyone except themselves are genocidal.

Meanwhile in my case, an admin told me that BrainInABox also tries to report people/comments they disagree with too to try to shut shut down discussions hoping that the reports wouldn't be properly reviewed (like a fascist). You'll see a trail of moderated comments behind BrainInABox as server admins delete them...

I wouldn't be surprised if they've already reported you too. And in my case, they tried to defend their fascism.

Basically, just let others know when you see others argue with them (to save them time). It's not a serious discussion. Just a troll..

Last I checked, it was more like 6-8% for UK.. So, 6-8 out of 100 customers in that case would slow down everyone's orders, would reduce the efficiency, increase the business risk and also require a whole bunch of extra procedures to avoid "poisoning" someone. If they're already overbusy, it's just costing money.

In practice, Lactose intolerant also doesn't mean what you think it does. It simply means they have some kind of negative reaction, and many people are lactose intolerant to a certain degree if you drink enough milk and eat enough cheese. I suspect I am somewhat dairy intolerant, and I still drink milk fairly regularly.. So, if those 6-8 percent who are actually considered intolerant, most of them probably don't care..

Most people who are considered lactose intolerant can still ingest milk in their coffee though, because its a small amount with no impact. They're not deathly allergic.. Some of them likely also take Enzymes to allow them to digest dairy.

So, if we're talking ACTUAL numbers who this affects, its fuck all really, except the ones who are genuinely allergic (and do you really want to be serving hundreds of drinks an hour which look EXACTLY the same to customers who might get seriously sick and sue?)

Disregarding that, the cafe has clearly calculated the business case, and determined serving oatmilk just isn't worth it..

Also, I have noticed at least 1 person in this post repeating brand names, so i almost wonder if some viral marketing is happening here..

I don't drink coffee though (it tastes like dogs arse), so I don't really care though to be honest. And I don't work in a cafe. The only info I'm working off is off people I know with IBS and dairy intolerance.

On the other hand, oat milk can be contaminated with gluten too. So, some people who are affected by Dairy, may also be affected by Oat milk too anyway..

For extremely busy restaurants / cafe's where people are already waiting long periods, they probably don't want to overcomplicate things too, and increase the risk . They'd have to keep 2 different milk frothing machines, and every time a customer got sick, risk getting sued, whilst slowing down the efficiency of orders.

Whilst it might increase the number of potential customers, in practice, it might only have negatives

Not sure about France either. But I believe in UK and Germany it's less than 10%

If a cafe or restaurant is already extremely busy with long delays, serving other milk too could slow down service, and they might not even need the business.

I also know a dairy intolerant person who takes lacteze anyway, so its not an issue for them

And I know another who just ignores the intolerance, as it's only a small amount of milk

[-] Auzy@aussie.zone 1 points 1 day ago

In Europe, dairy intolerance is actually extremely rare. It's Asia where intolerance is common

You can't use worldwide stats to represent a localised region

Seems like more a failure of you for not checking if they do oat milk. And they likely do lots of other types of vegan milk as alternatives

Honestly, the kind of person who gets pissy about this kind of thing, you're probably better off not having in your restaurant or cafe anyway. Because they've probably got a list of food requirements

I have a friend with actual gluten intolerance, and she stopped telling restaurants about it specifically because otherwise they'd freak out. She'd just order things like minimal gluten and only ask if she wasn't sure.

But she'd never ask for substitutions either

There is no way of knowing how busy this place is. They might be completely full and serving 10 different types of milk might simply slow things down and increase their risk if they accidentally mix the containers

Thats actually true.. Only once have I been. It was ok, but, i didn't realise how good mexican food is meant to be until I tried my local mexican place and was in the US to find out how it was meant to taste.

Not once since then 10 years ago has anyone mentioned Taco bell to me in any conversation.

Unrelated, also, it was a pity Hogs breath shut down (that place I genuinely enjoyed)..

[-] Auzy@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago

Absolutely agree. Best to use real sounding names too

Won't stop them from saying they've got 10000 submissions already

I'm in Vic. Never said I was in US...

Just because I respond to US politics doesn't mean I don't keep track of it (because their shit flows down to people like Clive).

And there have been attack ads on TV about things being "woke" and the right wing is trying to scare people into thinking foreigners are responsible for all of our issues (whereas, a huge amount of the issues we have seem to be from meth junkies)

The environment bs that spread about solar and national parks is only just one of those mega shit policies from them. Their shitness is diverse

This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone

What is an actual surprise is all the dickheads here in Australia still defending coal. Coal doesn't benefit you in any way
