They work for getting rid of that ‘hard’ water taste.
It might reduce lead and PFAS in some small way (leaving them trapped in the filter and slowly leeching into every glass you pour until you replace it), but it’s not really doing much for that. It’s not going to fix Flint Michigan’s water.
If you’re in a place with bad drinking water, first you should use one of those water purification tablets, then put the water through a Brita filter to get rid of the tablet’s taste.
The porn, probably.
“I’m driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, ‘George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan.’ And I did, and then God would tell me, ‘George go and end the tyranny in Iraq,’ and I did.”

You never really know, it’s plausible. But I doubt it. It doesn’t seem any more likely now than it did in 2016.
Ceasefire in Gaza for a minimum of 6 weeks (if I understood the news correctly) is huge. That conflict might be close to over if we’re lucky.
As a depressed 16 year old boy I received a self help book from my mother. I was offended. Never opened the book. Like in hindsight I guess she thought I needed help and the book would somehow do that, but all I saw was that my mother thought something was wrong with me.
“I’ve probably lost more patients than he’s ever treated.”
What if she voted for Jimmy Carter?
Lack of successful alternatives? It’s easy to find flaws with capitalism but every other system has its share of problems too.
Simpsons did it!
“Well, frankly, test scores like Larry’s would call for a very generous contribution. For example, a score of 400 would require a donation of new football uniforms, 300, a new dormitory, and in Larry’s case, we would need an international airport.”
We don’t have enough children, our birth rate is too low. Yet allowing young immigrants to come in? Terrible idea for some reason.
Prior to Trump it was mostly fringe candidates like Storm Thurmund (1948), George Wallace (1968), David Duke (1988, 1992), Pat Buchanan (1992, 1996).
In terms of major candidates, there are some questionable endorsements for candidates like Nixon and Reagan. But you have to go all the way back to Woodrow Wilson to find a president who was openly happy about receiving those endorsements.
I call it, “Billy and the Cloneasaurus.”
It’s how people spoke in May of 2021. It was a different time.
So… the DEA is trying to start WW3?
