*shrugs* I just have a straight up gallon jug sitting beside me, generally. Sometimes refilled, sometimes used to brew lemonaid or something after it's empty... like said, casually drink about half one a day, sometimes a bit less, usually no more.

Would absolutely love to be doing something besides subsisting on plastic bottled water, but unfortunately literally every other source I have access to makes me sick

Unfortunately, the person that's been badly under-hydrating doesn't really respond well to that. Drinks most when they've got little bottles and constant access.

As you wish. Catalonia has never been independent or a kingdom, and so has no right of self-determination.

It... doesn't work that way. There's no causal connection between those two statements. Self-determination starts somewhere, after all... prior independence or existence as a separate state is not a prerequisite to self-determination. 'Bout the only necessary condition I can think of for that is the ability to work in concert with the group seeking it. You've got the right to self-determination when you can, well, self-determine. Mostly.

I mean, I know the chances of that getting through to you are nil, but someone should probably say it just so people don't think that's actually a rational statement.

... so apparently the Game of Thrones lost a special effects editor to... a lion. Couple days ago. Killed on a wildlife preserve in africa when some idiot opened a car window. Helluva' way to go.

... man, what the hell is up with Blue Dragon's thematic elements. This thing's mood whiplashes like it's going out of gorram style. Mass murder, biowarfare, torture, possible rape, what amounts to human sacrifice, the slow death of dozens (fast death of many dozens more), just this freaking list of what the hell going on and then you've got poo monsters, the art style (which, being fair, seems to be slowly descending into near-horror), toribo, and a cast of main characters which is half brain damaged plucky!idiot and almost all adolescent.

The writing for this game confuses me. It's like someone took your average Dragon Quest style game and tried to paint it with rusty razor blades but couldn't really get them to stick in right.

"But my whole family is frozen. I want to go outside and die with them." <--- Actual line from the game. It's basically hilarious absurdity at this point.

Though baff, if a black woman can play Oda better than anyone else that shows up to audition, she should get to play Oda. If skin color is an issue or whatev', we've got freaking incredible makeup these days. Or CG! We've got mad skillz these days, and getting better.

... you'd have to clarify the "so to speak" bit, neo, since it's used for them almost exclusively.

And ark, do remember at one point the only actors were men. I have to admit, the morbid curiosity part of me wants to see that come back a little, maybe for stuff like all female-character burlesques. I can't help but thing there would be something delightful about that.

Pfff... They are mad that Ukrainian government dares to not pay pensions and other social benefits to them. They call this "economical genocide"

... wait, seriously? They're actually asking pension moolah and welfare from the country they're trying to secede from? Can... can someone else confirm this is a thing that is happening?

And is that normal for these kind of situations or is it as farcical as it sounds?

Mm... reminds me of a conservative/religious talk-show the person I was driving around was listening to (at least until I couldn't stand the crypto-racism anymore and talked them into switching over to classical) who claimed more or less to not be racist, and then spent like half the goddamn segment obliquely talking down "that hip-hop culture" and denigrating Obama and crap. It's just, like. Could you whistle that bell any harder, old white dude?

Anyone has any suggestions for a decent show?  I don't mind 'weird' and alternative (maybe), but I am a fan of more serious ones with imperfect heroes.

We have a gigantic thread full of suggestions :V
