I agree but there's also an add-on for that

Are you on the spectrum?

Very likely.

Would it make you feel better if you noted that the scrolling red banner at the top of the website does in fact have “this water ain’t woke” among other similar sayings? And there is a “This drink ain’t woke” Yeti cooler.

I went to their website and did not see such banner but if that indeed is the case then that's all the proof I need to admit I was wrong.

Does it make me feel better? No, it makes me feel sad.

The title of the article is intentionally misleading readers for clicks and rage bait. They're not calling it "anti-woke water", thedailybeast is. The name of the brand is Freedom2o. Is freedom anti-woke?

They're even talking about how their water is good for the environment.

Support environmental sustainability by choosing reverse osmosis water. Our water bottles are crafted with a reduced environmental footprint, ensuring that your commitment to clean water aligns with a broader dedication to preserving our planet.

Sounds pretty woke to me!

Microplastics are in the air we breathe and the water you're filling your re-usable bottle with likely comes to the tap via plastic pipes.

Moralizing people for re-using single-use plastic bottles is just virtue signaling. It's basically impossible to avoid microplastics and if one cares about their health there are things you can do that have orders of magnitude greater impact on it such as staying lean and excercising.

She doesn't use the word "woke" in it even once. I also don't think the person posting it has anything to do with the company.

I'm a plumber and it's a well known fact that there is some amount of chemicals leaching into water from PVC, PEX and composite pipes. Enough to cause harm? Who knows.

Also, microplastics are in the air we breathe. It's pretty much impossible to avoid that so I wouldn't worry too much about re-using single use bottles. There are more important things to pay attention to if one wants to live a long and healthy life such as staying lean and excercising.

Plastic Pipes, Microplastics & Human Health

There's a good chance the water into your tap comes from plastic pipes.

Yes. Instead of using the bottle you already have you should buy a new bottle!

Nowhere does it claim to be anti-woke except at the rage bait headline.

RIP apetor. Drowned while filming a YouTube video.

Professional plumber lost his job and starts their own company - this happened next

Apparently so, though it's you who joined the discussion mid-way without paying attention to what it was about.

Carwash did not brick the car. Not being in a carwash mode caused the centre screen to go dark, everything else worked normally. This was likely due to water in the charging port. When the owner then tried to hard reset the vehicle there was a bug (that has now been patched) that caused the reset to take hours instead of minutes. The car was back up and running the next day with zero permanent damage.

I believe you. I'm just not sure why you're telling me this. At no point have I claimed that stainless steel is immune to corrosion.

Yeah I'm not claiming that stainless steel can't corrode. It can. This is usually due to galvanic series where two different kinds of metals are in contact and the less noble one starts to corrode. Kind of like iron particles on stainless steel. You can leave the car in the rain and it wont rust. This only occurs when there's surface contaminates that react with the stainless steel panels.

Dude, it's not my fault you got blinded by anger and lost sight of what we've been talking about here this whole time.

A person implied Joe has gone full MAGA. I asked for examples. You started linking articles. Yes, you didn't say that but you started defending the guy who did. If you don't agree with the original claim then why the heck are you sending me those articles? If it wasn't such an ridiculously easy claim to shoot down I wouldn't even have bothered replying.

Joe has not gone full MAGA. If you think he has then the burden of proof is on you - the person making the claim. If you don't hold that belief then you've simply been wasting your time with this debate since the very beginning.

What's the point of living for anyone? There's no point. Life is what you make out of it. If one keeps doing the same things day after day then that's an indication they don't want things to change. How could they change? Accepting things as they are and just sitting at home being miserable is a guranteed way to stay miserable.

I know that Cybertruck rusting is a fun narrative but it's also not true.

Rust does indeed form on the surface of the body panels but it's not the panels that are rusting. It's the iron particles mostly from brake discs that are suspended in the air and land on the vehicle. These particles then react with the stainless steel causing rust to form. However this is just surface contamination which can be easily cleaned off. These same particles, called "fallout" get stuck to the paintjob of all cars and that's why there are cleaning products specifically meant for getting rid of them. With other vehicles the rusting simply doesn't occur due to the particles not making contact with metal because they have paint and clearcoat on them.

There's literally thousands of hours of audio of him talking. If he's full MAGA then it shouldn't be hard to find dozens of clips that directly demonstrate this. And I mean directly - not ones that you need to perform mental acrobatics first to squeeze out the meaning from that one wants. Repeating some of the talking points only shows that he's actually thinking about things instead of simply adopting the views of his side. If one agrees with none of the talking points of the opposing side then that's frankly just a demonstration of their bias towards their own group. Any real independent thinker would have some views that align with the right and some with the left.

It's always amusing when people who don't even listen to his podcast act as if they knew him better than the ones who do despite the fact that they're getting their info from biased online articles when the other group gets it directly from the source. Once you actually listen the full episode and then compare it to the articles written about it it's hilarious how disingenuously he's being represented on the news. This applies to so many other podcasters as well. Joe's been quite consistent in his views over the past 6 years or so. He definitely flirts with the right especially when accompanied with such quest but the claim about him having gone full MAGA is blatantly false.

We don't have free will but we have the experience of freedom.

Aspect often left out in this discussion is the rather apparent fact that "self" is an illusion. There's no "you" in a sense that there's this some kind of immaterial being that's living behind your face, looking out in the world and making decisions. There's just consciousness and its content. The sense of self is an appereance in consciousness. We experience the world from our individual perspective and it creates the illusion of there being a self that's authoring all our thoughts and actions but there zero evidence of such thing existing. In fact according to split-brain studies it seems like your brain hemispheres don't even agree with eachother.
