Tap water.

I used to drink a lot of carbonated drinks but after I gave them up, I don't miss them.

Do you disagree with the article or just the source?

I spent so long learning the types, moves, strengths and weaknesses of the first 151 that as soon as another 100 Pokémon were released I was like, "I don't have time for this".

People these days just don't appreciate a strong and healthy frame when they see one.

You may not like it, but this is what peak male performance looks like.

The whole point of a strike is that it's meant to be disruptive, that's how it works as a last resort bargaining tool, it's astonishing how many people don't get that.

Imagine if you and all your colleagues went out on strike and their was literally zero impact, it would do nothing other than make your bosses wonder what you're actually doing all day and wonder why you're employed in the first place.

So what benefit would there be to the UK and the world of recording COVID infections?

I don't know why you're getting downvoted, you're absolutely right.

Everyone has had the opportunity for multiple vaccinations, people also know that the chance of COVID affecting you severely is correlated with smoking and obesity, everyone has had plenty of time to lose weight and give up smoking.

Honestly, if COVID is still an issue for you, it's on you at this point.

Then you also have to ask "what if we see a huge rise in COVID numbers?". Do you want another set of lock downs? Do you want the government to print another £250 billion and spend it on things that have no intrinsic value and then act surprised when we get 10% inflation and no payrises? Literally, what is the point of recording COVID numbers?

Can someone explain the joke for someone that knows nothing about programming?

We're not talking about the use of puberty blockers in cases of precocious puberty, we're talking about them in cases where they'd block typical puberty in cases of gender dysphoria.

I'd love to know what CEOs actually do all day that justifies their exorbitant wages.

They love to trot out the "we need to attract top talent" line, but what skills, knowledge and experience are they actually providing that couldn't be done by an 18 year old straight out of school?

The average CEO earns five times the average wage, we all know they aren't working five times as hard as an average worker.

I know that when you don't wholly agree with a person that unquestionably goes along with dogma regarding trans rights that it's only matter of time until the "transphobe" card comes out. It's no different to debating a Zionist about Palestine's right to exist, sooner or later you're going to be accused of being an anti-Semite.

I don't think that being concerned that children might make decisions they later regret makes me a transphobe, but if you do, you're entitled to your opinion.

I've already conceded that we're clearly not going to change eachothers minds on the issue. How long are we going to keep banging our heads on the wall?
