Seat is down if thenlid is down.

Our lid is seperate from the seat. One can be done down while the other one is still up.

You don’t want that E. Coli on your toothbrush.

Actually our bathroom sink is outside of the bathroom toilet, with a door seperating them. 🤷

I’ve had this happen to me. I suspect it’s one sad MRA type with a pile of accounts bringing the downvotes.

If true, I'd feel really sad for that person, in a go outside and touch grass sort of way.

Honestly, at this point I expect the large amount of downvotes for anything I post. I've had that happen to a post where I just said "Thanks" and nothing else. Its sad, and I'd wish the Lemmy admins would catch that sort of thing more often (understanding that they are volunteers, but still), as it doesn't make my experience here on Lemmy any better than when I was on Reddit.

That’s not true. “Protect” is loaded language.

How so?

And what word would you use instead that had the same meaning?

Perhaps you're oversensitive to the usage of that word?

Lid down so the flush spray is mostly contained is enough reason, no?

We never have that problem in our household. 🤷

We have a toilet that flushes in the front to the back in a jet, there's never any splash.

Where the falling in problem tends to reoccur, if not prevented.

Congress had passed 161 other substantial bills

[citation required] (bolded part)

Also, it was all over the news and online and in papers that the ACA and trying to get it passed over the finish line was a lot of hard work, that took a lot of time and effort, that it 'sucked up all the oxygen in the room' for other stuff.

Maybe I’m not understanding you but lid down is a foolproof way to not fall in from my perspective.

My wife always forgets when she gets up in the middle of the night, and falls in, or sits on the lid and has to get up and put the lit up and seat down herself.

So she asks me to always make sure to put the seat down for her, something that I'm happy to do, as a happy wife is a happy life.

Because subconsciously they want to fuck their mom of course.

That's a very Oedipus Rex statement.

Toilet seat belongs down - and the lid with it! It’s not only logical, but also just.

The thing is, at least in our household, the lid has to stay up.

I actually thought as you do, as that would be a perfect compromise, both parties would have to work to use the toilet.

But from what I'm told, is the late night half asleep moments where you forget to put the seat down, and you fall down into the toilet, that is being prevented by making sure the seats always down and the lid is always up.

It's a low hanging fruit way of maritial bliss, so I go with it.

This is it. Trump didn’t give a flying shit at all if anything he did was legal, he just went for it, and it worked.

The law is slow, but powerful.

I did, but you never really answer the question, are you financially prepared and willing to actually defend your license in court?

I did, both in the link that I originally gave you, as well as replying to your comment directly.

And also your link has become incredibly obnoxious, you don’t need all those “~”

That's a problem with your mobile client, you'll need to speak to the devs of your client about that.

It's not supporting subscript and superscript fonts correctly, per Lemmy's help page on formatting comments. Also discussed in that original link I gave you.

If we could stop derailing the current topic?

You say “just… trying to protect existing housing zoning” as if it isn’t an absolutely catastrophic, economically ruinous, and socially unjust clusterfuck.

There's no commentary, or opinion, or politics, in my comment.

Just stating my understanding of the literal article.

_{Anti Commercial-AI license (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0)}

Are you prepared to shell out potentially 10’s of thousands of dollars to actually defend your license? That’s my biggest question in this, because if not it really is a waste of time and effort.

Well if the license is flagrantly ignored I'm sure Creative Commons would probably have something to say about it.

Having said that, I meant for you to also go to the top of that link conversation to read everything that's been discussed, including my answer to the question you just asked.

Also, we're really derailing the topic of the post.

_{Anti Commercial-AI license (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0)}

Yeah. Seems like a waste of effort to me. If they’re scraping movies and books illegally then you aren’t gonna stop em with a link at the bottom of a comment.

Best not to derail this topic. It's been discussed to death already.

adding license to comments is nice touch but i don’t think scrapper is gonna care

“old lady” absolutely is slang for wife.

I know it exists, but I've never used it.

Also, I was just being more humorous, than literal, hence the toilet seat comment.

Being serious for a moment, IMO, it sends one hell of a negative signal to your significant other, to your dissatisfaction of them, which I've never felt for my own wife.

Edit: ...

And for those of you who may disagree with me, ask yourself this. Is your wife actually okay with you using that slang, or do they just act like they're okay, but inside it bothers them? Do they see it as a term of endearment, or as a reminder of reality?

Reminding your wife that she's old, even playfully, may not be something she wants to hear.

And generally speaking, women seem to care more about aging than men do. That's why when someone asks you how old your wife is, when she is in earshot, you always say 18, or at the very least 21! 😜

From the article ...

but that I have to wait for all the crap I don't want in the first place.

It comes down to Google telling us what it thinks we'd want, vs giving us what we actually ask for, and the time wasted doing so.

That, and probably punishing people who use ad blockers.

but outside of Obamacare getting passed which didnt go far enough

You're way underestimating and underemphasizing Obamacare, and the impact it took to get it into law.

Obamacare was a huge get for the Democrats, and while it wasn't Medicare for all that we all wanted, especially with the Republicans fighting tooth and nail to deny him, that was a huge win.

It took a lot of effort in time to get Obamacare, which took all the oxygen out of the room for doing other things.

but their "old lady" is their wife?

No married man calls his wife old, not if he ever wants to have sex again with her.

That, and leaving the toilet seat up.

Edit: And apparently once again I've tapped into an unexpected conflict point in our society. 😋
