That it's physically attached to the bottle even after it is untwisted/opened. A lot of people here complaining that it gets in the way when trying to drink so hopefully they'll try something else.
I have no idea what's sold in the Netherlands, I don't drink pre-bottled drinks.

Nice idea. And good on coca cola for trying out a design first to test if it's a good design instead of just making one and that's what people are stuck with whether it's convenient or not.

That was my favorite thing about the pandemic! Discovered riding a bike through those swarms of miniature insects wasn't as disgusting with a mask on.

We send a card to the immediate family. Parents, siblings, and the little one. Maybe it's a cultural thing.

Maybe you didn't, but where I'm from its very, very common to send a card when a baby is born.

The form most people use for running/jogging is usually terrible for the knees. Much better than messing up your brain, but not ideal.
I'd guess watersports as the least problematic. I don't recall hearing anything bad about swimming. (Looking forward to the comments saying why I'm wrong so I can learn something new)

They're both idiotic if you ask me.

Now you're just being ridiculous. You know when the punch gets to a dangerous level the brain shuts down to protect itself. That's why the boxer loses consciousness, so his brain isn't actually hurt. It's basic science.
Just in case someone thinks I'm that dumb..../s

It's almost like repeatedly whacking yourself in the head isn't good for you. Huh. Who'd have guessed.

Reply to comment by cheltsie in LPT: When debating or arguing with someone and it’s going nowhere, ask them, “What evidence would it take for you to consider that you’re wrong?” If they say “Nothing,” then it’s time to end the conversation. by blowfishmo
That's the kind of hangout buddy I like! Talk about whatever, passionately, but completely ok that you disagree. Heck, if you agree it's a boring talk.

Reply to comment by Halenat in You need to apologize by Halenat
It still boils down to whether you want to forgive them or not. If my husband does something thoughtless I appreciate an apology because it shows he's thinking of me. But if he doesn't apologize, oh well. I don't expect him to review every moment of his interactions with me to discover a slight and come confess his remorse. He's human, he'll do thoughtless things from time to time. Because I love him I forgive him whether he apologizes or not.
Were he to cheat on me, that's unforgivable. It really doesn't matter how much he apologizes, we're still getting a divorce.
An action between those two, something that hurt me enough I still love him but I'm not ready to forgive (can't think what, I'm pretty easy-going) that would require an apology plus some sort of action to convince me I should indeed forgive.
The only need for anything beyond acknowledgement of the error is because the wronged party doesn't want to forgive you yet. If you regularly require more than words from those around you then you may want to look at why you feel the need to hold on to slights so firmly. Either that or you have surrounded yourself with people you know aren't worthy of you to begin with and maybe you should stop saying you forgive them because you aren't actually forgiving them.

Only with people you don't want to forgive. If you want to forgive them then saying "I'm sorry" is more than enough.
When my neighbor wakes me up to construction noises at 7 on a Saturday I forgive him because I like him. When the asshole that lives across the street does the same thing he's not forgiven with just an apology because I don't believe he's sincere because I don't like him and don't want to have to forgive him. (Ok I actually forget about it after 5 minutes without any sort of apology from either, it's an example).

Reply to The fewer kids we have the more likely that robots actually take our jobs. by littlebopeepsvelcro
The fewer people there are the fewer people need jobs. Company x doesn't need to make a billion products if there aren't a billion people any longer. So they close half the plant and need only half the employees and hey guess what that's just how many are available.
The two aren't connected.

Again, I don't consume this junk so this is new information for me.
Sorry it sucks. Congratulations for already having it. I'd give you an award but that seems to not be a thing any longer.
