Longer explanation: the supposed paradox of tolerance is when people whine about not being protected by tolerant society when they do something intolerant. They claim society isn’t so tolerant if it doesn’t tolerate their intolerance.

In reality, society is built upon social contracts. One of those contracts is tolerance. If someone is intolerant, they’ve broken the social contract and therefore are no longer protected by that contract. In fact, it is society’s responsibility to reject the intolerant actors to protect the rest of society.

There’s no such thing as a paradox of tolerance. People who think there is such a thing just don’t understand social contracts.

The others are saying no one cares or they don’t matter, but they do if that’s where those “missing” votes went

One of us… One of us…

Also NZ, South island, only time I boil water to drink is for tea ☕

Tastes great right from the tap.

Also depends on what’s happening. I used to live in the US in Texas and when the power went out at all we would need to boil for a while. A lot depends on the local government and utilities in the US, every state and county seems to do stuff in a slightly different way.
