The world is such a depressing inhumane shit show at the moment. And I'm tired of being gaslit by every government from my local borough administration all the way to the federal government.

Capitalism and fascism had taken a hold on the world's nations the likes of which we have never seen in the history of humankind.

And the worst part is I feel people have been indoctrinated to as point where we're never gong to collectively get out of it. I don't even think a violent revolution is possible because people are too fucking dumb to notice what's wrong.

And the "fuck you, I got mine" attitude that capitalism has brought has ruined any chance of salvation. Empathy and solidarity are ridiculed as being some woke mind virus.

The world's climate is beyond fucked. There's wars and crimes against humanity being perpetrated by the Epstein class in our name. We keep electing wolves in sheep's clothing who win our votes on fake promises to help us then turn against us and double down on policies that make life more difficult and increase our level of misery. Unless you're a billionaire CEO or a politician, your life is absolutely worthless. You're nothing more than a low value resource. And you don't have freedom. Neither of speech or otherwise. Not as long as what you say or do goes against what the elites want.

We're fucked. I don't foresee any future worth living in.

A cream soda float sounds absolutely delightful

Search out ways to DIY your own carbonator, and recipes for cream soda. Stick it to the duopoly of big pop!

There's a Canadian company called indigo that produces machines that can use SodaStream equipment. They also sell their own, so you can avoid SodaStream completely. Even better, they are significantly cheaper!

Lately Indigo supply got spotty—HomeHardware franchise is the only one carrying them in the local village, but they access the national supplier network so I don’t know why. People were gaming when shipments were arriving at the hardware store and being disappointed. Avoiding giving sodastream any money because of the boycott is apparently something people know about.

But also Indigo takes the canisters back. And is cheaper.

We live on the border of Quebec and Ontario. For some reason, Giant Tiger in Quebec carries Indigo, but in Ontario they've never heard of it.

I think SodaStream is based in Israel, and more specifically, the occupied West Bank.

Just for some extra info for anyone thinking of doing this. Avoid the Zionist shit heads

Yes I have heard that as well, as to why I suggested build your own. I have a soda stream already, I just wish I was into the whole DIY stuff prior to getting one over a decade ago.

Every so often I think of getting the things to DIY one because using a wine making store for CO2 would be much less expensive and ethically more responsible than getting my bottles replaced at the discounted price for returning the used ones. I have not refilled a bottle since finding out about the SodaStream and Israel thing though.
