Thanks for the explanation. I don't drink hot water (I filter drinking water in the fridge) I just didn't realize hot water was undrinkable and that there were laws against hooking it up to cold water.

And what have they ever given us in return?!?

If you're being serious, the intent is: "don't bother me while I do my job".

(it’s dual because law forbids connecting undrinkable water to drinkable water systems)

Are you implying that hot water is undrinkable? Sorry, I don't understand but it sounds really interesting.

Your reward is to be constantly asked: "Why don't you smile more?"

Pretty good!

Ah, good one! But to be fair in early November a lot of us were door-to-door canvassing and/or phonebanking.

OMG I did the same thing too... but the funny/sad thing was that I started doing those "typical reddit" comments that weren't really insightful but got lots of upvotes. Then when I came here to Lemmy I had to stop myself from making those kinds of comments.

Hey, unironically you should try one of those private social networks where it's all just AI bots and you're the only human. I mean, I hope you stay here too but it might help you to have a place where you can say things without human judgment but you still get some kind of feedback.

Did they give us what we wanted? Nope. The protests happen all the time, but name one instance when it actually worked.

The example I linked describes how a peaceful protest convinced the Pennsylvania Assembly to vote for American independence.

Respectfully, I think you are arguing in bad faith.
