    Hey yeah, i get it (or, to some extent) . I am chronically cold due to being a healthy weight and having poor circulation. I wear thermals and hoodies year round even when it’s 90+ out. But for me it’s the extremeties and my ass isn’t too bad.

    But to be more constructive, since you know yourself better than anyone. If this is really a deal breaker then id look into getting an extra outlet installed in your bathroom which can vary on price depending on the type of wall (and their service minimum-- if you have other electrical needs you night be able to tackle all at once). It’s been a few years since i had a new outlet installed but i got it for around $250/ outlet. Might be as high as $400-500 for your set up.

    And an electric Bidet lid with heated water will cost you $250-500 (maybe there are cheaper ones but I’m just going by some options i looked at for my partner).

    Low end $500, high end $1000 for outlet+Bidet. I’m assuming you can install the Bidet lid yourself (it wasn’t hard, promise).

    Now i can’t do the next math for you, so I’ll share my toilet math. Costco toilet paper is ~$24/30 rolls (I’m using the price online which may be higher than warehouse, but also closer to other stores). I used to go though a roll per week because my hairy ass loved to play marker with the TP. After i got a Bidet my TP usage dropped my at least 4x. A roll lasts me a long time. So if my weekly cost of TP used to be $1.25 then I’m saving $3.75/ month. And that’s just me maybe you have more people using the restroom. So saving $45/year. We’re looking at 10 years to break even from a cost perspective for the low end of things.

    Ok, maybe that doesn’t make the most sense from a cost perspective. My cheapo bidet paid itself off within a year.

    Outside of cost id say this:

    • i feel much cleaner.
    • Ass sweat doesnt feel like I’m making a poo swamp
    • my butt thanks me. No more raw asshole
    • if you’re in a house with septic system, less TP in the septic system. (This could potentially decrease the amount of time between pumps).

    Sorry for the long message. I spent 3 decades thinking my sister was the weirdo for buying a Bidet and i wish i wouldve made the change sooner







  • Agree or delete account is real “good guy gabe” energy.

    What a fucking trash monopoly

    Edit: Ok for the corporate apologists; the company gave 0 days notice to this. You HAVE to agree or you can’t access your account, which locks you out of your games. The only options you have are to agree or delete account.

    At least discord allowed you to opt out by a certain date when they updated to forced arbitration. Not only is steams move here to protect their 30% take on transactions, more than double of competitors, but steam is also choosing to fuck people over who don’t want to agree. Supposedly if steam ever went under they’d let you continue to access your games but i guess they can instead just enshittify their subscriber agreement so that no one would still have an account. For instance you now agree to only access your games for 1 minute per day and you will be charged $1000 for each time you start up steam would be a great way to force people to delete their accounts so steam doesn’t have to honor their EULA.

    But go ahead, keep talking about how good gabe is. Steam is a monopoly. And there are no good monopolies.

    I think in the context of the OP, not all donations have strings attached in the sense of trying to exert control. Maybe smelting orphans is undesirable but for donations previously received there’s nothing the donor can do about that other. And picking and choosing who you donate to isn’t a form of exerting control either.

    Whereas large university donations do usually have agreements signed that could drastically change school policy. These are “donations” to exert control in some form or another


  • the article is about the Haitian Bridge Alliance filing criminal charges because of the effects the “Haitian immigrants eating our dogs” lie has caused. This has nothing to do with party sides and everything to do with cause and effect. Jd vance openly said on tv that if he has to lie to get people’s attention then he’d do it, and now we’re seeing what happens when you mobilize a large part of the country to harass and discriminate against legal Haitian immigrants who are just trying to live their lives like anyone else.

    Now as far as slander goes, the courts would need to decide if malice was involved in the statements that at least one of them has openly admitted to being* false.

    Of course this could all just be avoided by not telling lies.
