    I have a special hate for inspirational water bottles, stickers or notebooks.

        Me too, although it’s slightly less than normal ones, the only thing ours ever did was stop kids punching each other and DARE once a year.

            School Resource Officers can’t charge kids with felonies only a prosecutor can do that. A cop can arrest someone. Now you might think I’m being pedantic but I think it is an important distinction. Many times we blame cops and completely over look the fact that some of the blame lies with the prosecutor.

              Yeah, but even if they’re arrested and the charges are dropped, they still have an arrest on their record, which many/most colleges ask about on their applications.

              Watch the John Oliver episode about School Resource Officers, you’ll see one girl arrested and charged (I believe they dropped it though) with a felony/bomb charge for popping her water bottle cap like we used to do in school (y’know, twist the bottle, and then unscrew the cap and it pops off).

              Another kid, special needs, was arrested and manhandled because he lightly carved “[Name] was here” into a concrete wall, which his mother had him come back and clean off. John put the kids name on his wall so that everyone would know “a legend was here,” which is the reason the kid gave for why he did it in the first place.

              Schools don’t need cops, they need social workers, counselors, and proper funding. Not a chode with a gun and an authority fetish. Our school officer used to make friends with all the kids dealing drugs/getting in fights, while our principals/vice principals would scream at kids to take their hoodies off. And they wonder why kids think school is a joke.

              That’s just wrong… cops charge people and the District attorney will decide if they want to prosecute those charges and spoiler alert they do it 99.9% of the time.

          If we’re not joking, I kind of think the liver would go first. Unless your mixing it to like a 4% ABV, then maybe the beetus might get ya first.

          Honestly there is a good chance you stress your liver out so much that the sugar and your food (bc let’s be honest, your probably not eating healthy either) gets turned into a shitload of triglycerides and you stroke out or have a heart attack from too long of hyperlipidemia.

            Some alkies go decades drinking way more than that every single day. Humans are surprisingly resilient. Inspirational, really

      In the good ol USA, schools often have what’s called a school resource officer. Meant to be the connection between school kids and the police department, they have been useful for truancy and other problems that happen with students ( esp. high school age) at schools.

      Although more recently they’ve been the (mostly) reliable first contact in the event of a school shooter, the SRO is usually first on scene and relays into to responding officers.

      Afaik the top bully in school.

      So when a kid gets transferred to a new elementary school they are advised as a newcomer to punch the baddest bully/the officer to establish dominance, preferably during recess, with one of them prison food trays. … no, wait, that can’t be right, US kids dont get food at school.

      (But for real, from the headlines I only ever heard bad things)

    Is not it supposed to be chilled? By noon it will be warm, and drinking warm coke is just disgusting, unless it is mostly alcohol, and then you would just not remember.

    I’ve usually got about two litres in me by 10am, and have taken my fourth piss. This bottle would not suffice.

    I have this exact bottle for Dr pepper. The guy at the gas station charges me for a cup of ice when I refill it and it’s much cheaper than a 2 liter.
