  • I have a mighty. I’ve had to replace two rubber gaskets over about 6ish years, but that’s as much normal wear as anything else, getting pinched when putting it back together. I do have to pop the screen out of the mouthpiece to effectively get it clean, but that’s nothing. The one thing that did happen due to the IPA is the textured logo thing on the mouthpiece lock fell off after a couple years when the adhesive wore out.












  • And that’s great. Ideally there would be more people with that mindset of helping others. As I mentioned this isn’t blind color voting. You either support gay and trans rights, or you support Republicans. You support teachers and the poor, or you support Republicans. Take color out if the equation and take voting at its merits like it should be. It just so happens that all of the worst shit is Republican, so it’s easy to know who to vote for if you have good ideals, which it sounds like you do.

    If you want to help the most people possible, then it behooves you to vote blue, or do some spot research right before heading to the polls, which will ultimate lead you to the same conclusion.


  • Getting metaphorically punched in the mouth or metaphorically getting shot in the face. Neither are actual events, they are metaphors used to illustrate that one side is clearly worse than the other. I never said anyone deserves to get shot in the face. What I said that you quoted is that if you do nothing, you are choosing to support the worst option.

    This isn’t a colored sides thing. It’s bad vs less bad. There is no third choice. If you choose nothing in means you’ve chosen bad because of the way a two party FPtP voting system works.

    Most of us want peace. One way that you can help is voting for the least bad option, because either the bad or least bad is going to take power. There are obviously many other things you can do to help others like volunteering and donating. The most significant act though is helping prevent awful from being in power, because their actions will outweigh any individual efforts you are capable of.
