Lets not pretend that it isn't about data collection though. If they cared about protecting my data, they'd spend a little more money and either make 0.1% less profit or pass the cost onto the consumer
Yes, that's another reason. I'm reliant on the app for the device to function - if they stop supporting it, the company goes bankrupt, my wifi cuts out - I now have a very expensive piece of plastic.
I've been looking for a breast pump recently - I'd like electric so I don't have to manually pump. All of the ones I could find in the shop required an app to connect to the device. Why? What purpose does that serve me? I'd have to make an account, accept needless permissions and cookies and give them access to very personal data about my boobs and milk production - I went with a manual one instead
Why would I mean apologism? They need their worldview reprogramming because their current worldview is misogynistic and false. Reprogramming would include comprehensive challenging of negative attitudes and modelling of correct, non-misogynistic beliefs.
It should be done by people with psychological training because they have the skills and knowhow needed to reprogramme someone's thinking but it doesn't particularly need mental health professionals or collusive, misplaced sympathy.
I saw a tall man in a leather jacket in a supermarket and ran up and hugged him because all tall men in leather jackets are my dad. 5 year old me forgot that he was passed out at home from some drug/alcohol concoction so how could he be in the shop?
Yeah, it's an adapted toilet for a disability and also built into a wall (old house, weird architecture), so the easy attachable ones don't cut it. Even if they did, I'd still prefer the separate bidet unit, tbh. Just personal preference and what I'm used to, which would require someone to fit it
Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a bidet attachment that fits my toilet. When we move, I'm getting one for sure but I'll still use toilet roll at times too
That being said, I'm not sure the cost-benefit really fits here. The initial cost (£100-500, depending on quality and type) plus fitting (£100-200 depending on plumbers in your area) would take about 10 years to break even when spending £40 on toilet roll per year. And by then, I'm sure I would have moved house or the bidet would have broken or something
I hope for nothing contagious: his sycophants would deliberately infect themselves to be more like him and end up causing a rabies pandemic
