Maybe someone can get upset by reading that word?

and by bypassing their filters with idiotic ‘censoring’, you expose them to it.

Which would be why you DON’T censor it, @[email protected], so it DOESN’T bypass people’s filters.

You know, it’s been so long I barely remember… and we don’t drink a lot of carbonated water outside of it, though we did once upon a time. I’m trying to even come up with a guess, and I honestly can’t. I guess I’ll have to get it on my next Costco trip and report back!

Costco has this Italian water - carbonated if I recall - 8 bottles in a pack if I recall.

It’s always been on the pricey side… I think it was $12 or so when we first started buying it occasionally, likely 7-8 years ago. Then it went up to $16 seemingly overnight - now I think it’s close to $20.

It is a luxury, no question. It’s not that we can’t afford it, just that it is a LOT of money for water, lol. We get it less than once a year now, but it is always a very nice treat when we do.

But also, why is everybody so offended by censored words here? I don’t get it.

The biggest reason seems to be that it will evade filters, which people set up very intentionally and specifically to keep these Fedi-spaces a safe place for them mentally.

So, for example, someone comes here to get away from the ‘real world’ and news and whatnot, may have a filter that blocks anything with the word “Trump”, or one I actually see censored a lot more often, “Israel”

Then someone makes a post about “Isr*el is so bad” and it sails right through their filters.
