I know they’re supposed to be good for the environment but… God I hate those caps.

    This is why I’m glad I live in the US

    Edit: this was mostly a joke. I think some of you took this personally

      Yes because if you had tethered bottle caps that would be your biggest issue.

        I can choose to have tethered bottle caps or untethered bottle caps. Can you say the same?

          Is THAT your litmus for freedom?! In some states women can’t choose to have an abortion. And in all of the states people have to choose between going to the doctor or paying rent that month… But goddamnit, at least they don’t have to deal with those pesky tethered bottle caps!

            This was not an an attempt to start a huge debate. I’m just glad I don’t have to deal with that here.

            Its not that I think the US is better. For instance, I think we could use some privacy and consumer rights.

              I’d rather deal with a poorly designed bottle cap than half the shit we have to deal with here in the US. There’s a reason you’re getting down voted. What you said is so narrow sighted that it’s not even funny.

              We have MUCH larger issues we have to deal with than a stupid bottle cap. “Glad I don’t have to deal with that here” is showing a willingness to ignore everything else.

          Man we don’t even have healthcare or widespread public transit. Abortion isn’t even legal everywhere anymore.

          Our country is rapidly falling apart before our eyes. Just stop man.

          So can we. It’s easy to pull it off. Gotta remember to find solutions, not problems.

      On the other hand, I’m glad these are the issues we’re combatting against, instead of a corrupt bipartisan government.
