    I just bought myself a glass water bottle for my bedside. You never know, one of these conspiracy stories will turn out true one day, like mk ultra. I certainly don't want to wake up gay one morning! I've been using an old 500ml coke bottle for years, I'm surprised I'm not turning already.

    But seriously, a glass bottle will last a lifetime if I don't drop it. And it looks better, it reminds me of a carafe in a restaurant so I feel posh drinking my water now.

    Did my conspiracy nutjob brother really get in my head with this?

      Editing … Or was it flouride that turns you gay? I can't remember. But something something plastic water bottles. I think the plastic leaks into the water maybe, I dunno.

      Editing … There are plastic particles leaking in the water from the bottles. But there is so much plastic now that it is in your food too. Especially canned foods. but it is in everything. you also breath it in because of synthetic clothes. It's not a good thing. All sorts of ailments are linked to it. Glass water bottle can't hurt unless there is lead in it or something. I used to use a glass bottle (for bacterial and plastic reasons and aesthetic reasons) but because I carry a backpack I switched to plastic again because glass is just too heavy for my lazy self. If you have it in your truck it's no extra effort. They do look nice.

      Editing … I think the plastic leaks into the water maybe — Yeah, that's what's happening. The water dissolves the inner walls of the bottle and then the chipped off tiny microplastics are floating in the water … that you then drink. It's disgusting.

      Editing … Don't do that. It's expensive and much too sterile to live off of. It's pure H2o without any minerals and calcium. It will taste really bland. Everyone eats micro plastics. You can't prevent it. You can however be conscientious around BPA containing containers. BPA is the thing that messes with your health. BPA disrupts your hormones. If food sits for long periods in plastic (including plastic lined cans) and the plastic contains BPA, the BPA gets in the food that you eat. If you can be bothered to prevent that you help your health a little. Some plastics are worse than others and some do not harm us all that much.

      Editing … I can't really be bothered to filter out cans, I'm a busy boy. Most of my food is fresh anyway. I'll take the risk and eat out of plastic lined cans and drink unfiltered water. But I will replace plastic stuff with better stuff when it breaks or gets old. I love my new glass bottle, it's really nice looking. Much better than a crappy old coke bottle.

      Editing … I need pics of the firmament pls. Uhm yes good luck with that Nod. I get his sentiment. The world is full of corruption and bad things but then maybe try to actually study and understand how things work in depth and admit the parts you don't know and can never know and be content with that and maybe try to see things in perspective. History is full of fucked up shit and that tells us there is most likely fucked up shit going on now as well because we are no different from our ancestors, we do not live in enlightened times. There have been ridiculous conspiracies that were true like Epstein island and maybe we’ll never even know the worst ones but you do actually have to sort out the facts and do the work. What he writes there is pretty much a copy pasted world view. Just because you don't trust the mainstream narrative does not mean you have to by default have to buy into the mainstream counter narrative that has been collaboratively been developed by people with an internet PHD. Maybe first admit you don’t know anything and only talk about things you actually know and can show. Otherwise whatever serious and valuable critique or theory you have will be disregarded as the ramblings of a madman. Whistle blowers have a hard enough time to prove their message and get taken seriously. Crying wolf just because you have a hunch or feeling there might be one is not helping anyone. Only cry wolf when you can actually point to a wolf. So yeah. Pics pls. :-P

      Editing … I've tried explaining to him about the 1970s when inflation went through the roof and shit just like today and I have even pointed to online history but he isn't interested, it's all a government scam for this and that. The pages he links me to are either madman ramblings or pure conjuecture and supposition, there is not a shred of real evidence in any of it. I mean, I'm pretty good with physics and I've explained everything I know about the Earth and why it isn't flat but you know how these guys are, they won't accept anything unless it supports their belief. And he has lots of beliefs, EVERY belief I think.....

      Editing … Arguing seems pointless yeah. All you can do is to not bend over and pretend to agree with him just to please him or shut him up. I guess that's the only way to deal with the situation. He can have his own beliefs of course and it's just something you have to accept but the reverse is also true. He also has to respect the fact that you have a different view. That's how people fit through the same door.

Even though he's a absolute moron I don't want to see him in a shit state in old age. I think he's counting on his millions coming in with one of his crazy schemes.
