This is just not true. When my wife's family moved to my home state they all though that the water tasted "sweet". Good tasting water definitely exists.

If you have the money for it a water bottle with a filter (even just the carbon Brita ones) improve the taste immensely. I use an Epic water filter for everything and it makes nearly all water taste good*.

  • The only exception I had was the Atlanta airport I have no clue what the fuck was going on their but the water was disgusting.

Also worth noting: don't use a filtered water bottle for filtering water that has contaimints you are actually worried about consuming; none except for grayl actually match their claimed results with third party testing.

Luckily the US of A has a sneaky trick called not ratifying shit and refusing to be held to the same standard as "third world countries" while saying they are superior.

Seriously the US actually hasn't ratified most of the treaties that govern how warfare or being a functioning society.

The original iteration of no mans sky. Absolutely lied a shit ton about what was in the game but I really enjoyed my initial time with it.

And what examples of ai makes you think that it will be 100% accurate because that's what is needed in this situation. Not a single one of those calls can be lost in the shuffle.

Do they still have the abulity to do that? they seem to have been way more quite recently or they could just seem less crazy compared to the general state of the world.

If they started genociding white people it would be though. History is not a zero sum game where it's OK for the natives to do to white people what they did to the natives. You can't exactly repatriate people that were born and raised somewhere to a country / continent that they have no ties to besides distant ancestors. I'm not saying land back is inherently genocidal but what actually is a way to go about it that doesn't involve an ethnic cleansing?

You understand that social media helps create and reinforce those things right? Social media has lead to the fall of America into fascism. It might have if social media didn't exist but this rise in fascism is directly related to social media and the way that it fucks with peoles heads.

I am trying so hard to not just make snarky comments but Jesus fucking Christ can you actually read the quote you posted and think about what they may be talking about?

I'm not on twitter and never have been. That significantly impacts the information that I recive and I am usually getting news a day or so later than people that are on twitter. That has social consequences and means that I am less able to talk about recent events. That's just one example on how you can not separate yourself from the information economy without negatively impacting your socialization.

Screen protectors need to be changed way more often than a good case and they are usually similar is prices so this makes sense to me.

I'm someone that is from tornado alley. I celebrate when they get hit now because it means that they have to experience the consequences of their actions.

My family is still there and I hope they can get out but, most of the people I met their would shake your hand while stabbing people like me in the back.

It depends entirely on what you are trying to do. There are a few people on YT that have made chips at home. they only have a 100 ish transistors though.
