Somebody stole my mood ring. I don't know how to feel about it.

Let's be honest, it's far more satisfying and challenging to actually imagine what a character looks like than paste a hundred gifs of a celebrity and call it good.

So, a team of players who are good at playing as a team in a team-based game are individually bad players. Seems kind of silly when you put it like that, no?

My goal these days is to have an RP that can actually finish, or the very least, last a few years. I see way too many die on page one to take chances

I know, right? Totally forgetting about the Axis.

Ohnoes!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LARFLEEZECould you, just, like, kill a bunch of people if you wanted to? Just fuck up the water content with rat poison or something? I mean, seems unlikely, but somewhere in the chain there's probably someone who could screw with the water if they wanted to.


It's terrifyingly easy to contaminate a water reservoir. For example, if someone were to pour just 2 liters of oil into a 390,000 liter reservoir, the entire supply of water is pretty much undrinkable and capable of making people sick. I would not want the nightmare of having to try to replace and treat that much water when it's an essential service and trying to clean out the entire reservoir from any lingering contaminants. Plus, if that happened, the operator would probably be looking and crushing fines and jail time for not securing the water supply.

So really, appreciate the efforts the guys in your municipality go through to make sure your water is clean and safe to drink as well as keeping up with demand. It's a very tricky line of work.
Plus, if you want proof it doesn't make people docile, just wait and see what happens when the water tastes or smells or looks off, which slightly higher flouride doses potentially will do. Public anger knows no bounds if the shit that comes out of their tap doesn't taste like bottled angel tears.

It is true, and I did a report on it for my Environmental Ethics class. There are varying levels of this theory, but we do know that it started when a prominent aluminum for US weaponry needed to get rid of excess fluoride, a by-product of the aluminum process. They commissioned a scientist with a dubious past that proclaimed fluoride was beneficial for the development of teeth. Many tests show that children in non-flouridated countries have worse teeth issues than those in countries that use fluoride, but most tests where third-world vs first world, so those results could be off.That is the end of the hard facts, now some people believe the fluoride is not beneficial at all and is just a way for metal companies to sell their waste by-products to communities everywhere. The true believers know however that the Nazis experimented with water flouridification to make the populace more docile. And the US government got access to their notes and implemented the process.


As a guy who works in the industry, water fluoridation is entirely up to the municipality and not the federal government. In the dosages you'll find, there's no adverse health effects, physically or mentally. It just makes your denist happy.

The main reason you won't find flouride in some places is cost and the fact it's another of many parameters operators have to monitor and it does nothing to help in the treatment process.

It was a good referendum, and I'm personally proud at how this rekindled politics in my country, outcome regardless. The people chose to remain a part of the UK, and i'm one to respect that. However, I hope the results have at least landed a warning to Westminister, as there's now a great movement in the people of Scotland for independence, that subside if austerity doesn't. Scotland remains a part of the UK, let's try and make it the best Scotland possible.




Very classy response.

Why does the conversation about taco shells and why I don't like them make you sad? Is there a backstory?


A night after eating Taco Bell will traumatize the sternest of people as it begins its insidious work inside your body.

Can we talk about real issues like Chem-Trails please?


There's fluoride in the water!

Oh. That one's true?

Carry on, then.
