  • You have to think of it has fiefdoms.

    Just because they are currently liege of King Trump, doesn't mean that they don't want to have power themselves. If given a plain opening, they would become king themselves. They don't have loyalties, only compromise. Hence, they make sure to keep their own share of power close to have some form of resistance against the king.

  • Every time I've seen these bidet threads, everyone talks about conversion kits (which don't have the door) or ultra fancy toilets (which I can't buy and use in an apartment).

    And the only ones I've seen with a door we're the ultra fancy toilets, though didn't know they could self wash too.

  • I've always wondered this, but how do you prevent a bidet from festering? When dedicating, micro poop particles get everywhere in the bowl, and therefore my conclusion would be that it would get on the bidet spout. Over time, since it's moist, wouldn't a very thin microbial biofilm form on the spout? Then you'd be blasting in potentially dangerous bacteria back into yourself. Do you have to clean it after every use? Every day?

    The only way I could see it maybe keeping clean would be if it was behind a small door that opened when it'll be in use and then retracted once more.

    So far the most hygienic option would be wet wipes.

  • Having taken care of many children, I strongly disagree. Not just punching someone rather than talking it out is a learned thing that's also reinforced by society (for the most part).

    If there wasn't an innate violence within humans, human history would look very different, and fascism wouldn't exist.

    Also, both processes can activate the adrenal axis actually. It's not totally different, and there's some similarities.

  • No clue, but for what it's worth we know violent video games don't cause more violence and some studies show they can even reduce it at least so I'd imagine it would extrapolate similarly to other visual media

  • So a lot of people here don't realize that any kind of transplant outside of a waiting list is considered a trafficked organ (excluding Iran). Or how cheap it is.

    I had kidney failure for many years (btw, being young doesn't help with wait times except unless maybe if you're a kid in some cases).

    At some point after some years, my dad (who still has a Facebook) started asking for help for a kidney donor (for the swap program thing, basically you donate to someone else on a chain), and immediately started getting messages from people in places like the Philippines "willing" to sell their kidneys. In quotations because you never know how willing they actually are, and even if not under direct pressure, I'd say extreme poverty is still a forceful pressure.

    Regardless, the prices they were asking for? Between 5-15k$.

    You'd think it would cost more than a used car, but apparently not. I scolded him for even thinking about it - explained that just because you can live with 1 kidney, you're still more prone to kidney failure yourself now.

    I ended up on dialysis for a little over 8 years and essentially lost my 20s to that, but at least when I finally got a transplant I didn't have to deal with any guilt (came from someone who was braindead - wear your dang bicycle helmets people).

    And I'm glad I never even considered that offer - apparently I was destined to get an aggressive cancer after a kidney transplant because I'm part of a very rare estimated 5% of the world population never exposed to an extremely common virus (Epstein-Barr). That cancer would likely not have been caught by an overseas doctor who is doing shady surgeries, and I'd be dead anyways.

    So maybe karma does exist (in the psychological/outcome sense at least). I got the good karma and Steve Jobs got the dumbass karma (look up the details of his liver transplant and death. I want to point out, he must've been a true asshole to not have a willing live donor for a liver transplant, as it's actually the easiest of them all to get).
