  • I’ve quite literally drank Flint water. Not for a humble brag (far from it) but I really hate that they became some kind of trope. They have needed help for decades and could have recovered faster if America ever cared about people. Good people there. Shitty America management. It’s like they keep them down for the Internet points.

    As for municipal water. Stop by Altoona, Iowa sometime and drink their water. It’s just so terrible. Ground water full of stuff they can’t filter at scale. I don’t hate them for it, it’s what they can suck out of the ground, for maybe a few more years before it becomes brine.

    It is hard to produce drinking water that is safe, and also tastes good. Is my global point.

    Personal filters can improve that. Otherwise, buying water just leads us to a human future that is by far the worst reality we could ever impose upon ourselves.

    Edit: TL;DR: bad tasting municipal water isn’t a conspiracy. It’s just the reality you have to work with at the time.





  • Why are people not freaking out?

    The 88% that didn’t vote for him are. US Governance is slow to react to anything and has yet to figure out this is a real problem, those that aren’t bought and paid for by Orange Burger Troll.

    The US has a lot of contributing factors that make it more difficult for individual citizens to react, so far.

    • A lot of people can’t just up and take time off work or they’ll lose their jobs
      • In America, losing your job means losing your health insurance. That means a $15 medication can suddenly be $600
      • Many Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck, or worse, in arrears, and use payday loan companies to pay their bills and buy food
      • Saw some metric a while back that credit card debt and services like Klarna were both on the uptick as people used them… to buy food.
    • America is a vast country, 2,800 miles from east to west
      • This makes it hard for the above people to just up and travel to the nation’s capital to protest en masse
      • People have been trying to protest at their local governments in-state, but the media is bought and paid for, so news of these protests is very limited in scope

    Among many other reasons.



  • Oh sure, let us actually have choice in action. I’m speaking about how the Old Laws worked in the Long Long Ago. Now that there is no law, the hilarious part is that these old codgers that made this world domination plan forgot that law doesn’t matter when it comes down to it. Program a Tesla to explode while driving, why not? Random snipers on the way to work? Why not? McDonalds burger full of cyanide, why not? I’m not suggesting any evil action here, I just find it supremely funny that these idiots made a football play on America and the one thing they missed, which is the one thing the Republinazis always miss, is that rules are for all. When rules for thee vs me tease out, shit goes south real fast. They think the very laws they are dismantling will somehow let them be safe at the same time.

    The supreme hypocrisy of the under-educated is what it boils down to. America’s Golden Shower Age.



  • The ultimate game. Get into a position of power, work for free, your work is to guarantee you come out richer. Hire employees for “your” agency that is just a rebranded agency that already exists so no paperwork need be filed. Then, sound like a person of authority while “advising” said agency. Command those gullible 18-21-year-old kids to do unspeakable acts they’re too young and immature to comprehend.

    Kids end up being charged with the actionable crime, free “advisor” dude parachutes out the window to collect his solidified tax breaks.
