I think you misunderstood what I said, I’m agreeing with you on the mental gymnastics, but the argument you put out wasn’t exactly the best when given to the PoV of the gymnast; they’re avoiding ingesting tap water in favor of bottled, but they ingest it regardless, unless they wash everything with bottled water like a very crazy person

and didn’t expect to respond again about this crazy hypothetical person that lives rent free in both our minds, but I’m going to evict that person right now for my own sanity

I’m not defending bottled water, but in regards to the shower argument, there’s a reason things are rated for topical use vs food grade

the better argument is someone drinking bottled water while using tap water to wash their foods

another reason I heard is it’s also another tool to give the company wiggle room to say they’re not in the best state they could be, that there’s still room for growth. under the current system, companies have to keep growing and keep appearing to have the potential for growth, or die

high fidelity doesn’t equal pretty graphics; it’s just a chosen art style. the problem surrounding all this MK switch stuff is they had to compromise on their art style, and make it much much less cohesive with the original intent, to get it to run on the system. An MK designed with the switch as a high priority would be a very different-looking game

given that, 3/10 is still a meme score meant to drive traffic to their site

• “Of the two cases so far this year, one was in a person who tested positive after being admitted to hospital and the other was an asymptomatic staff member of a veterinary practice.”
• “Only one named individual has previously tested positive – Wendy Hayes, of Stoke, who caught it from a pregnant foster dog she took in from Belarus last year.”

half of my loss of faith in humanity from this is restored

had to dig in the article for the means of transmission between dogs and humans, and could only find it from an article linked inside there that mentions “The disease can spread to humans through canine reproductive fluids, but they can be treated with a long, strong course of antibiotics.”

The article here also mentions “two people caught it this year from dogs”
…oh. oh dear
