  • they think there’s a health benefit and that it filters out more than just chlorine.

    Depending on where you are they’re not wrong. It’s a carbon filter, and carbon filters remove plenty more than just the chlorine taste, but what they’ll remove from your water depends what’s in your water. Like I wouldn’t ever bother with a filter when I’m in Edinburgh, but in America I’d probably want all my water filtered.





  • Yet another victim of brigading. No, we’re not the same person, part of Hexbear’s site culture is that we don’t have downvotes so people who disagree with something have to articulate that disagreement instead of just downvoting because they don’t like it.

    But OK, I’ll accept your unevidenced claim that Mexico is a “narcostate”, and even your wild notion that race and racism is unrelated to cultures, because I’m not asking about either of those things: I asked you to explain your idea that Mexico is a narcostate because of the culture.

    OK remember like 70 years ago when they started saying we were burning the planet? And then like 50 years ago they were like “no guys we’re really burning the planet”? And then 30 years ago they were like “seriously we’re close to our last chance to not burn the planet”? and then in the past few years they’ve been like “the planet is currently burning, species are going extinct, and we are beginning to experience permanent effects that might not snowball into an extinction event if we act right now?”
    But sure, AI is really cool and can trick you, personally into thinking it’s conscious. It’s just using nearly as much power as the whole of Japan, but you’re giggling and clapping along, so how bad can it really be? It’s just poisoning the air and water to serve you nearly accurate information, when you could have had accurate information by googling it for a fraction of the energy cost.

    I hate AI because I’m a responsible adult.






  • no one ever finds the new thread,

    Yes, because you refuse to make it. As soon as it’s made it can be indexed and start to turn up on google. You do understand that Google ensured they’d have a mechanism for content that didn’t exist when google was invented to be added to the searches, right? And so new content is continually added? And will quickly overtake less relevant content like a thread that nobody’s interacted with in nearly a decade? So “places no one will find” is just something you made up so you can piss and cry instead of just making a new thread.
