Police here (Denmark) is seriously understaffed, I don’t think they do much unless they see a pattern and suspect it’s organized or a repeat offender.

But at least we can call the police without fear of getting shot when they arrive.

OK fair enough, but that’s not what it looked like to me when I read the headline.
I don’t use anything Microsoft, and I use only very few Google things for basic functionality of my phone.

What? How was Mozilla ever in any kind of OS integrated way in bed with Google?
Google was just the default search engine in their browser. That’s it, and it’s dead easy to change the default search engine in Firefox.

Why are you making a completely false equivalence, to make Mozilla look bad? Also Firefox is open source, so Mozilla even lets you use a fork, with all the functionality of Firefox with whatever you don’t like changed.

No they don’t, their voting clearly shows the opposite.

If it’s only air it just gets cloudy, not discolored.
It can be disolored from iron, and that’s not a health problem AFAIK.

I have never heard of anybody here in Denmark who has brown or cloudy tap water. That would simply not be considered acceptable.
Tap water here is always CRYSTAL clear, and generally higher quality than bottled water.

Sad for you, but just because you can’t taste it doesn’t change the fact that water actually has taste.

You are spot on. Water is absolutely not flavorless.

Fortunately I live in a place with high quality clean water, and on a warm day if I’m very thirsty, the taste of water is really really good, it clearly beats any soft drink IMO. I can even prefer it over a cold beer when I’m thirsty!
But even minor contaminants can make it taste way worse, if you live in a house with old plumbing, or if you can see buildup in the metal filter most taps have, the taste of your water is probably influenced by contamination besides Iron from the pipes. Good iron pipes are OK, but new synthetic pipes are better.

If I drink a carbonized mineral water, I can also most definitely taste the carbonation.

If the water smells like rainy weather or wet skin or in some other way smells off, it is probably contaminated. However the water can have a slight metallic smell because there are actually naturally occurring minerals in the water. BUT if your water is discolored, it is definitely contaminated, and drinking it can make you sick.
Our water is pretty high on calcium, but there is for instance also a small amount of lithium. Lower calcium water taste a bit sweeter, so natural water definitely exist that is even better than our water.

Remember always let the tap run for a short while before drinking from it.
If the water doesn’t taste good, it’s probably because it’s not good.

Not to join.

FREEDOM! 🇺🇲

That’s strange, because the old pope was. I thought he was supposed to be the one defining catholicism more than anybody else.

only two key events of the biblical story of Jesus’s life are widely accepted as historical, based on the criterion of embarrassment, namely his baptism by John the Baptist and his crucifixion by the order of Pontius Pilate.

Except there is no historical evidence of these events.
The only evidence there is, is that John the Baptist is an actual historical figure, and there exist AFAIK a reference to Pontius Pilate, although his position is unclear. But the events are NOT documented and neither is Jesus.

The historicity of Jesus is a concept driven by Christians that have undertaken the biggest accumulated search in history spanning 1800 years, to document the existence of Jesus, and they have turned op NOTHING!!! Just the Mormon church alone has spend massive amounts of resources on this for more than a century. Obviously the Catholic church is by far in the lead, since they are both the oldest and most wealthy of all.

There are at least fourteen independent sources for the historicity of Jesus from multiple authors

No there are not, not a single one is contemporary, and not a single one is first hand or even has a reliable source. This is required to be considered reliable historical evidence.
It may sound convincing on the surface, until you dig into it, and find out it’s all hear say, and it’s all created AFTER Christianity became a thing.
Also evidence for the existence of Jesus is just about the most faked historical/archeological thing there is. Because it creates fame like nothing else, and churches are willing to pay enormous sums to get their hand on it.

I’m an atheist, but a historical Jesus almost certainly did exist.

You didn’t investigate enough to get past centuries of Christian lies and propaganda.

This is a long piece, but it’s easier than doing the research yourself:

Alternatively you can present me with just 1 piece of reliable evidence for the historicity of Jesus.
But please before you do, check up on the criticism about it first.

No but that’s because Lord of the Rings is way more consistent than the Bible is.

That sounds like a cool priest, but unfortunately Catholicism is still against gay marriage, meaning they are still discriminating.

There is no remotely reliable evidence that Jesus Christ ever existed.

Edit:
Funny how some people downvote this, but without providing any reliable evidence.

Ah well, good thing I left.

That does not ring true, because controversy feeds engagement, and engagement increases overall activity and makes it possible to sell more ads.
So by that standard reddit should embrace the controversy as long as it’s legal.

So is reddit right leaning now? That really weird to me, because they were a clear minority 8-10 years ago.
Although there were a few Trump subs, they were wildly unpopular and made fun of.

That’s weird, I haven’t used reddit for many years now, but it used to be clearly liberal/left leaning.

Wow

Looks more like bullshit to me.
