When presented with the choice between the arsonist who wants to burn your house down slowly vs the arsonist who wants to burn your house down quickly, choose the arsonist who wants to burn your house down slowly, so you have more opportunities to escape or mitigate the damage.
Edit:
Why the downvotes? How is this analogy inconsistent with what was just described?
I'm not sure the problem is the electoral system so much as it is the people who vote.
I'm not saying that voting is bad, but even if you tore down the system and replaced it overnight with something better, it's not gonna change the way people vote. They still vote in neoliberals and conservatives and fascists.
People on the left will have more options further left, but people on the right will have more options further right.
Fixing the electoral system is still a thing to strive for, and it'll be a positive change; just temper your expectations
No, the first things you do when you're about to wipe a counter with a rag is to get a rag.
Sometimes you wipe with a wet cloth, occasionally you wipe with a dry cloth, but you never wipe with no cloth and just water.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think TP is better that bidets, but this sanctimonious metaphor is just so dumb that I can't deal with it.
I mean if your argument is that things will be cleaner if you wash them twice (once with paper and once with water), compared to washing it once, then the answer is obviously yes washing twice will make things cleaner than washing them once.
I do agree that alternating between scrubbing (paper) and rinsing (bidet) will probably get you cleaner - but based on the comments I see, that's not what bidet users are actually doing.
But yes, folks need to wash their asses better.
And their hands too, way too many people leave public washroom without washing their hands. Wtf.
Honestly, I feel like they're both gonna smell like peanut butter about the same
Especially if you do that with a potato instead of a watermelon
Honestly I'd say wiping my arm with a bunch of paper towels is about the same as spraying it down with a garden hose. I feel like people who say otherwise have never actually tried to rinse something off their body with just water pressure and no scrubbing.
I still plan to get a bidet because it's less irritating as you said.
Both tabs and spaces are stupid.
It's ridiculous that in 2024, code formatting is still embedded in the source instead of being a style you apply.
I suck at git.
I'm currently rebasing 17k commits into my branch. I'm letting it run overnight.
I'm disgusting.
AI was pitched as a replacement but it's actually the enemy
Did you just call shinji reliable???
Ok, that kinda makes sense, but that seems pretty niche. you have to make a few cognitive leaps to get it. That's ok, it's fine to make jokes like that, but it seems a bit much to be a jerk to folks who don't get it.
Looking over the comment section again, it's still like it was when I posted: most people are taking the question at face value, and not engaging with the joke.
I mean... It might make the other arsonist think twice.
But it might also just make the arsonists shoot all the firefighters and then set the whole town on fire. Still might be worth a try, if someone was willing
I think my analogy is passing the bounds of its usefulness ๐
