Ublock is down there in the trenches battling face to face with the ads for our sake and you dare to insult them? Reader view would be disappointed in you.
My daughter was so bullied, we had to pull her out of public school and put her in online school. The school did virtually nothing about it no matter how much we pleaded with them. Even when a girl doxxed her and started prank calling her the school gave both her and my daughter a talking to as if it was my daughterâs fault and that was it.
My bully flicked an ink refill at my face, went into my eyes, and right in front of the teacher. I punched him, was taken to the principal and he made me APOLOGISE TO THE BULLY, and shake hands with him. The whole education system is broken.
She doesnât even fight back. She doesnât like to do that. Iâve tried to tell her to do it and she just doesnât have the self-esteem. Itâs been bullied out of her. I wish I had taken her out sooner. I feel pretty guilty about that. But I didnât really accept that it was a situation that would not be resolved until Halloween, where she wore a really cool anime cat girl costume which looked exactly like a character she loves- I donât remember the name- that my wife made for her. Iâm not big on anime, but it was like high-end cosplay level when it came to a costume. My wife is really talented. She was so excited that she wouldnât even take it off all day after my wife finished it. She wore it to school and basically the entire school told her she was a furry and her costume was terrible and made fun of her the entire day. She got up the next day and broke down and said she couldnât go to school anymore and we realized that was something that is not fixable.
This might be a long shot, but ask her if sheâd be interested in learning martial arts. She doesnât need to âlearn how to fightâ for it to give her more confidence. It worked for me
While itâs generally good to avoid confrontations and walk away, itâs a good idea to know atleast basic self-defense. School was a terrible experience for me as people with low self-confidence tend to make easy targets for bullies. I hope your daughter gets through school without much trouble. Please do support her. Sometimes itâs not easy for kids to tell people cuz of ego or just the general distrust for adults. Also whoever thought putting a bunch of puberty riddled kids into one room was an idiot.
Sheâs still not great, but itâs only been a couple of weeks. She needs time to heal. Sheâs not going back to a public school until next year at the earliest, and not that school. Unfortunately, I had to quit my job to help her with her online classes, but weâll manage.
You might have had bad teachers and bad admin, true - but more likely, the school canât do anything.
Iâm a teacher, and I cannot tell you how incredibly frustrated I am at how tied my hands are. The admin canât do much, either.
My options: talk sternly to the student. Talk sternly to the parent/guardians. And⊠thatâs it.
Send them to the office? Sure. The principal also has those two options, for the most part. Suspending students is something we only do in very rare circumstances, but they really, really try to avoid it, because so often, kids are acting out because of stuff at home, so suspending them only makes the behaviour worse.
We canât do detentions after school or on weekends - we canât force parents to bring their kids in then. Lunch hour detentions, we canât afford dedicated staff to run them, especially since weâd also need them to chase the students down, because itâs not like theyâll go just because they were told to. We canât fail students any more.
Our district has also even gotten rid of prizes for achievements - no more honor roll, no awards, nothing. Apparently this makes the low performers feel bad, and we couldnât have that.
And talking to the parents? Most parents are honestly great, but also, I never talk to them, because the kids with the great parents, I never need to call home. The asshole kids? Their parents are almost always a nightmare. And itâs a waste of time to talk to them.
One kid last year, went after another kidâs field trip paperwork with a pair of scissors. Ripped into her like no oneâs business. Sent an email home describing the situation. I was pretty sure, based on her history, she wasnât really going to destroy his stuff, she was trying to get a rise out of him, so I said something like, âwhile I believe she was only intending to annoy him, not actually destroy property, it is critical for her to understand that this is absolutely unacceptable behaviourâ or something like that.
So rather than telling her kid off, mom goes to the principal to try to get me in trouble for calling her kid annoying.
In application? Doesnât matter what the teachers or even admin want to do. The district, province/state, and country have taken away practically every carrot and stick, when it comes to students with extreme behavior.
I can understand all of that, but when one kid doxxes another and starts making prank calls, which we provided evidence of- we had logs and voicemails- and the administration admonishes both kids, thatâs on them, not on anyone else. They didnât have to lecture my daughter about bullying the other girl when she was the one being attacked.
If your daughter was doxxed, can't you file a criminal complaint directly with the police? At least where I live, it would be grounds for a criminal investigation.
In that case, yeah, youâve got an admin problem. Iâm sorry - that really sucks. The entire system desperately needs an overhaul. The education system in Canada is a dumpster fire, and the US is even worse. Dealing with behavioral issues is one of many major problemsâŠ
Send them to the office? Sure. The principal also has those two options, for the most part. Suspending students is something we only do in very rare circumstances, but they really, really try to avoid it, because so often, kids are acting out because of stuff at home, so suspending them only makes the behaviour worse.
As someone who was bullied all the way until the start of high school, I would probably look the other way if my hypothetical children seriously hurt someone over repeated bullying. I think any alternative is better than that for everyone involved.
I had an unusual lesson from my parents regarding bullies. They told me, that if they found out that the I didnât even try defending myself from bullies and found out, Iâd still get whooped at home. It seems kinda cruel at surface level. But when the time ultimately came, dam straight I fought back tooth and nail. And no, they were not abusive in any way. Even reflecting back as an almost 40yr old adult. They were both prison guards/swat people. So they had a very different perspective of bullying I guess.
When people make a big stink about Apple not implementing RCS I always bring this up. RCS has an open core sure - but itâs lacking plenty of features that people refer to when talking about RCS. Furthermore, the gateways used for Googleâs RCS implementation are made by a company Google acquired. Would we be happy with Apple charging cell providers money to install iMessage gateways at whatever cost they wanted, because they hold the patents? No, so why would we give Google a pass?
If we want to fix this issue, force Google to relinquish their control of RCS and open the standard unencumbered with patents. Require telecoms to implement the standard in full and without deviation or be fined. Give phone manufacturers a few more years to comply and then itâs done.
But hey, itâs not just you though; here in Finland weâve had eg. multiple literal neo-Nazis in the government â one had to quit because, you know, he is a neo-Nazi, but the extremist right wing party heâs from replaced him with a pedophile neo-Nazi â and our Speaker of the Parliament has publicly fantasized on his blog about murdering gay people. And thatâs just the highlight reel, it gets so much worse.
My search results keep wanting me to go to Reddit. Iâm trying to avoid it, but it keeps calling.
Iâm not scrolling there like I did before the âSpez killed the 3rd party app migrationâ. I miss the level of engagement and ease of finding communities. Lemmy is decent, but the post volume is lacking. If I scroll new now, and again 12 hours later, thereâs not much new stuff before I see the stuff from last time.
I remember when there was a huge amount of complaints when Reddit updated and the top posts started cycling multiple times per day (or per hour) instead of hanging around most of the day
I just want non monetized media to survive in the future. not everything has to be designed to be addictive and for profit so itâs just sad that people couldnât hold out from reddit long enough to make a difference or just plain donât care
a lot of folks just use the app for their content and its not really that deep, its an unnoticeable change if you werent using 3rd party stuff anyways
though im not sure why people still like the app, its attrocius but then again people liked apollo and apple products for some reason and them hoes ugly asf interfaces too
Wiithout sugar coating it, lemmy sucks (for viewing content like reddit. discussion is a bit better on lemmy kinda). theres no active niche communities and the only content is about israel and linux. the porn sucks too its just pictures so lemmy isnt a very attractive place for reddit people.
If sit down at my desk and use my pc Iâll click the old Reddit bookmark and go on for about 5 minutes. That has only happened about 3 times since Apollo shut down. I almost exclusively used my phone for Reddit before that. Now I bounce between Voyager and YouTube. YouTube for background noise while Iâm working, Voyager when Iâm idle.
Try Kagi. Iâm totally hooked. Itâs a refreshing search experience and you can rank reddit as a lower level site so it can still come up, but less likely to be at the top of your search list all the time.
I have a similar experience, only visiting reddit for stuff like tech problems and very niche communities. I had never willingly visited the reddit homepage since.
There are a lot of posts now on lemmy compared to before the reddit fiasco but is not like the activity on reddit. The good thing though is that it made me stop my habit of mindlessly scrolling through endless content.
yeah having switched to linux recently itâs pretty much impossible to go without reddit. sure, superuser and generally linux forums do have a bunch of answers, but a lot are on reddit as well.
Too many top linux answers are gone now and i dont really find reddit very usefull for finding answers to linux problems anymore unless its a brand new problem with alot of people suddenly posting about it.
IDK, I just know I had to visit reddit quite a few times when googling linux stuff. maybe itâs because Iâm still new and looking for relatively basic stuff
Naw fam, Iâve been using Linux for years and I still goto Reddit threads for problem solving. Iâm not like a guru or anything but Iâm not new. Iâll try other sources first but I have no problem going to Reddit second.
Speaking as a straight cis male whoâs on the verge of asexuality, itâs been incredibly difficult and oftentimes alienating having discussions of sexuality and sexual insecurities with my other cis male friends because a lot of the discussion tends to veer into vulgarity or jesting. Then thereâs the conversations you have with your partners and sometimes some of those partners implying that youâre not âman enoughâ, etc.
I understand that a lot of this is due to toxic masculinity but Iâve gotta say, itâs been pretty tough.
Yeah, I hate how girls will be disgusted when itâs somehow suggested youâd want to have sex with them, while at the same time, I donât feel like Iâm even supposed to have an opinion.
Itâs like, Iâm a man, not in a relationship, not gay and not good at pretending Iâve never heard of sexuality, so if I donât want to have sex with a girl, that must mean I find her extremely ugly.
I mean, it may depend on the context, but I think itâs pretty reasonable to feel uncomfortable if itâs apparent that someone is thinking about having sex with you while youâre just trying to have a conversation.
Iâm not at all trying to say that I donât think thatâs reasonable. Iâm complaining that I donât feel like I have an influence on the matter.
Sometimes, you accidentally say something with a double meaning that can be interpreted sexually and itâs the girl who points that out and then assumes youâre thinking perverted things, because sheâs been told anyone with a penis does that all the time.
I am annoyed by that, because Iâm a big fan of girls and donât want to convey that theyâre just meat to entertain my sexuality. If youâre reading me as a tone-deaf pervert, that will not make sense.
From the other side, for a lot of women donât just hear that people do that (though there are many firsthand accounts), they experience it. Even if you donât mean anything by it, theyâve likely been the victim of enough purposefully suggestive comments that theyâre sensitive to it. Itâs not really your fault, but itâs not theirs, either.
Out of curiosity, do you have some examples of misconstrued phrases?
Oh yeah, for sure. I hate all the slimy idiots that canât speak with a woman without perverted comments and everyone who defends them.
I did have a specific example in mind when I wrote the above, but it happened in German, so the double meaning wonât make quite as much sense:
I was working with a lady colleague on wrapping articles and whenever we had completed one, we placed it into a larger carton for shipping. Each of us had our own larger carton that we filled.
Well, and one time, I went to put my article away, but got shortly confused and then exclaimed âOh, now I just wanted to shove it into yours.â.
And then, yeah, she asked, if Iâm aware what I just said, and I replied that I am, but I only noticed after I had said it. Enqueue awkward silence.
So, there was no actual problem. She was no fan of me having said that, but she understood that this happens and knew me already well enough that I was honest about it.
I just thought about it afterwards and realized that I didnât even actually desire traditional, penetrative sex with her.
I do think sexuality in general is cool, as in two consenting adults making each other feel good. And she is gorgeous. She often talked about how she visited the gym and worked on her body and one time admitted that she felt self-conscious about it.
So, there was a certain curiosity what her body looks like and I would have loved to tell her that sheâs a fucking dumbass for being self-conscious about it. And yeah, sure, some amount of instinctive sexual desire will be involved. I canât shut that part of my brain off completely.
But all of that is ignoring that Iâm a fucking dumbass, too. Iâm also self-conscious about my body. And I donât train, I actually have a reason to be self-conscious. As incumbent of the male gender role, Iâm not supposed to, but that doesnât sit well with me.
I would need a lot of trust to believe that a girl actually wants to have sex with me, both because I donât find my body desirable and because I care about consent beyond yes or no. A girl enduring sex with me, just because she likes me in other ways, that sounds like the worst kind of hell for me.
But yeah, none of that mattered in that situation.
âWhatever⊠stop talking to me. You clearly just want to get into my pants. What?!? You DONâT want to sleep with me? Why the eff not?! Am I not good enough for you? Not pretty enough?!â
Not if you are old enough. The only nice part about being in my early 40s is that when I tell someone that, âyes, Iâm that picky/shallow,â they seem to just accept it and move on. Iâm old enough that when I tell someone âthis is the bare minimum that I expect,â they accept that and move on.
The only strange part for me at this point is that the bare minimum I expect is that you a) are able to take care of your own needs, just as I do, b) are keeping up with your exercise routine, and will be willing to help both of us in pushing each other to better heights, and c) you arenât vapid, and can actually hold a conversation. Iâm not interested in being your professor/father/educator exclusively. I want to challenge you, just as much as you challenge me.
Literally every potential partner I have met cannot fulfill these, IMHO, pretty basic requirements. The only real benefit of being this shallow/picky is that now people finally respect my choices.
a sounds reasonable. But b and c sound like big expectations where I would doubt that I could fulfill them all the time and then I would disappoint. So these two points sound to me like a lot of pressure.
They are a lot of pressure. They are the same pressure I put on myself, so yeah. Not many people push themselves the way I do, so not many people would even want to live my lifestyle. Especially as it isnât very rewarding in a material sense.
Ah then it is fine. No judgement. I just wanted to make sure you donât underestimate their implications and your wording sounded a bit like you consider them the normal baseline.
If you want to challenge them then how are b) and c) prerequisites? Whereâs the challenge when itâs already there? If you want to be challenged then are you ready to be challenged in areas other than that? What if someone wants you to challenge to b) eat healthy home-made food every day and c) develop the grace and skill to tame a social situation with smalltalk, instead of insisting that every verbal utterance be a philosophical dissertation?
What if you judge it as vapid because it doesnât align with what you consider valuable improvement? What if itâs nigh impossible to express verbally?
âŠall Iâm saying, basically, is that thereâs unknown unknowns. Too much goal focus ensures that theyâll always stay that way.
I was specifically thinking of a woman who recently asked me why I wear black all the time, and when I replied âAsk Johnny Cash,â she got visibly confused and said, âOh.â Iâd have told her to either read the lyrics or listen to Man in Black, if sheâd asked. I donât know what to do with confused disengagement.
Now I canât read body language through text but maybe she had an assumption, that got destroyed, therefore she looked confused? It doesnât mean that she didnât know the lyrics or the man. Also do you enjoy being needlessly cryptic.
I donât know what to do with confused disengagement.
Engage by reassuring, or changing the topic? Cracking a joke? (âAlso, Iâm way too lazy to colour-matchâ). Whatever.
I married my highschool girlfriend, so Iâm definitely not in the know about the dating scene⊠but this sounds very incel-y to me.
If youâre objectively getting this kind of response, it may be that youâre pursuing the wrong type of person, or you should work on your approach. Every person is an individual, you gotta treat each person as an individual.
I donât think the person was saying they would really say that they are saying that they are pointlessly calling out the elephant in the room. As a teenage girl if you arenât a gargoyle literally every teenage boy is thinking about you sexually because that is the level of hormonal reality. Itâs like saying stop talking to me you just have 2 eyes and 2 arms.
Iâm pretty sure, that was a hyperbole, not an actual, verbatim response. Most girls wonât actually say these things, because that would say a lot more (that theyâre conceited). But you can often tell that theyâre overthinking it from their reaction, which is of course difficult to portray with words.
But yeah, it should be clarified that girls are not to blame for this. Society as a whole, both men and women, are involved in passing this non-sense continually onwards.
Talking about serious emotional issues or relationship problems with other men is pretty much uniformly crap. Most men are conditioned to not open up, or prefer immature viewpoints about all of that - or are just immature and crude and actually think various stupid and abusive things about women. Unfortunately some women actually prefer that.
Decent question really. I guess I was saying that while itâs been disappointing for me, itâs considered desirable and a good attitude by some people.
Perhaps you think too low of yourself? There will always be people who will prefer you to think this or that. Your parents, some dickhead politicians, your peers, ⊠You donât need everybody to like what you think.
As an asexual male, I totally understand where you are coming from.
I generally donât talk about anything like that with other men of any stripe. I have a few very understanding female friends who donât judge and even then when I talk about it, it feels like Iâm handing them a burden.
Itâs cool my man, just find a partner with a similar sex drive or be open to atypical relationships. My wife has a fairly low sex drive, and mineâs not crazy but the disparity can be rough.
Thereâs almost certainly groups of people who feel like you do online, so if you want to, Iâm sure you can find a place that feels super accepting.
But yeah, toxic masculinity/patriarchy is a bitch.
On the other hand if most of your schoolâs money is in some investment firm, instead of invested in the wellbeing and learning of your employees and students. And you have a investor as the person with the highest salary.
Then your âschoolâ is more of a financial institution than a school. And probably should be taxed as such.
Then they tell you the previous person was incompetent or something to try and make it seem like they were a bad employee, not that itâs a bad work environment.
âOh? And who was in charge of their interview?â because unless they have a large hr department to handle hiring interviews, it was probably the person who hired you.
This is when you take notes in your notebook you should have brought with you.
Iâve noticed interviewers get visibly uncomfortable when I write in my notebook. Itâs like theyâre either trying to figure out if they just lied about something I will be able to reference later, or they just get that natural âsomeone is writing about me and I canât read what it isâ feeling, I assume the former.
Simon Pegg wasnât lying in Hot Fuzz. The notebook is a powerful weapon if used right.
I thought that once too and ignored my gut feeling. It was the most toxic work environment that I've ever experienced, and it essentially killed my software development career. I was eventually laid off and never recovered. I'm now a mail carrier.
I actually work for Canada Post. We've heard rumblings of the pre-sequenced mail coming our way, and some people have lost large chunks of money from it. Contract negotiations are coming up though, so we'll see how things go. Though it is nice having a union that is willing to fight the company for the workers...I've never had that before this job.
Had a similar experience. Toxic company that was awarded a contract hired in a bunch of people, gave us starting dates then a week before we were supposed to start they delayed our start data by 4 months. It only got worse and worse from there. I eventually quit when I was doing 4 other jobs, like with different pay scales and supervisors and everything, by myself. Killed any chances I had with IT since every other company around here doesnât want to risk yet another burnout from that place. I had the same place interview me twice 6 months apart and both times as soon as they saw that company on my resume they frowned and kind of cut it short.
Actually, Iâve had more than one interviewer comment on it saying it âshows (Iâm) preparedâ since many people donât bring anything to write on and sometimes have to ask for a paper.
As for whether that could be a bonus in getting hired? Meh. 110% depends on the field.
If the question is âwill asking unnecessary questions and writing down answers help get this jobâ then Iâd ask if the interviewer isnât prepared for a couple innocuous questions, then it shows a severe lack of preparedness on their part and Iâd question whether I want to work for a place where someone gets shook by their underlings daring to question them.
I fully admit I am already biased against nearly any company that I would be interviewing at, so Iâm already more willing to get confrontational in interviews if I feel I am not getting the respect I deserve (you know, the basic human decency of treating every random person you meet as an equal until they prove otherwise worthy), and drop them to keep looking than the average person. Iâll eat ramen and peanut butter sandwiches for a few more weeks if I need to. Iâve walked out of interviews before.
Iâve walked out after the opening âgreetingâ. âalright letâs make this quick, Iâve got a dozen other interviews todayâ okay well if thatâs how you treat someone here for a simple interview I canât imagine how you treat your employees on a bad day, get fucked. I literally said âexcuse me? You donât talk that way in a professional setting.â and left.
This is absolutely true. My former employer (a big box retail company) reduced my pay while I was on holiday. I had been there for years and accrued a bunch of pay rises - but the company got bought out and the new owners thought they could strip me of these because they felt they were temporary and non-contractual.
I got some legal advice that basically said they canât do that sort of thing and had a meeting scheduled with HR. I went in with my notepad, I stayed calm - pleasent even - no angry shouting or slamming tables with fists, I just politely asked them questions and wrote down everything they said, then read their answers back to them to confirm thats what they said. I had about 6 questions prepared and by the 4th they were visibly uncomfortable, it was an amazing feeling making them squirm like that. After I got done asking my questions, I dropped the legal advice I had been given on them and it was obvious the answers they gave supported my case very heavily. They panicked and reversed all there decesion plus I got back-pay.
But if the first thing I had done is charge in making accusations and quoting the law I know nothing constructive would have happened.
See the goal is to bury them in their own words.
Edit: predictably the company went bust the next year. So long Office Outlet!
Always get them to bury themselves before dropping your intentions.
My wife is currently dealing with her employer and their complete lack of handicap spots, despite over 200 regular car spaces scattered all around a warehouse lot. She doesnât quite get how to âplay the gameâ like this but sheâs learning.
One party recording state so Iâd like her to go in to talk about it while recording, but her anxiety is completely stonewalling her from bringing it up.
Hit record on the phone, slip it in a pocket that has good clearance for the whole conversation, and get them to say the things theyâve said when they think nobody else can hear them.
Apparently the front office woman screamed at her to move her car (she parked there because the offices are isolated from traffic and have access to her work area)and âitâs not our goddamn problem we donât have handicap spots, itâs yours so deal with itâ
Iâm about to just skip around waiting for her to do things and file a complaint with the EEOC or at least the ADA government site complaint form. Iâm sure that would take months, if not years before anything ever happened, but I canât hold her hand and be there when she confronts the owners about their 6-8 missing handicap spots.
I'm white. I have blue eyes. And when I was young, my hair was red. I was working retail, and this old lady said "Merry Christmas."
Me: "Happy Holidays!"
Her: "It's Merry Christmas. I know your boss doesn't like it, but you should say it to me. So Merry Christmas."
Me: "Are you Christian?"
Her: "Yes."
Me: "Well, I'm not. So Happy Holidays."
She got so stunned, like I'd slapped her. I was quite ready to get called in for being some kind of way with a customer but I guess she was too afraid of dealing with a heathen. Still, if you've ever worked retail, you'd know why this felt like a victory.
Yeah, I donât think âmentally ill peopleâ only exist in specific places or that specific areas are âfullâ of them. I mean, I know for sure at least one deranged person lives in your area.
Also I highly doubt you truly worked in retail if you never experienced a customer like this. If you did, you must have been lucky and in an extremely high end store.
People are the same everywhere in the world, no better or worse than anywhere else. Which is kinda great IMO.
Thereâs like 10 Christmas songs. All of them have hundreds of different versions. Doesnât matter if your not hearing the exact same song. Your hearing the same songs on repeat. My last retail job the muzak box was accessible to everyone in the office so as soon as I would get there I would change the channel.
I worked in a video arcade in the 90s and we had a 1-hour VHS tape on repeat showing on TVs all over the arcade featuring recent music videos, cartoons, etc. That Christmas, âAll I Want For Christmas Is Youâ came out and it was on that tape. I heard that song every day of December, 8 times a day, 40 times a week, 160 times that month in total.
I hate that song so much more than everyone else does.
The jet spray from a bidet removes shit thoroughly from the ass cracks. Since bidets are effective at cleaning, it should not leave any poop stains.
You donât use them while sitting. After youâre done with ass-washing, you get up from the toilet seat and dry your butt.
Youâre not supposed to rub it, unless you want a bloodied, dangling rectum. It is used to absorb water, because the debris has already been dealt with by the bidet.
People shit only once or twice per day. The towel is replaced after 12 hours, or sometime even after every use, so whatâs exactly wrong with it?
It isnât supposed to be shared. I mean, you wouldnât share a hanky or a body towel with someone else, would you?
Most people from around the world, especially in Europe and Asia, do this, so it is normal?
Eco-friendly? No paper is being wasted. Also no jammed toilets.
Sorry you have to hear it this way, but a butt towel requiring a wash in detergent and even more water than you just flushed is less eco-friendly than two squares of toilet paper.
I think you should give this a read. This should convince you to switch to a bidet towel. What Iâm surprised about, is that you fail to see how regenerating forests is more difficult than regenerating water. It is very hard to repair the uprooted ecosystem. And no, new trees can not solve climate crisis. You can substitute an eco-friendly detergent. You can clean multiple bidet towels together. Forests, however, takes years to grow, changes in the eco-system can lead to ecological disturbances, and it has to be monitored carefully. This is not the case with water being contaminated with detergent - excess phosphates can cause eutrophication of algae.
I challenge you to get poop on your finger, wash it off under the shower head, and then rub your eyeball directly with that finger. Your towel has poop residue on it.
I use a bidet daily and sometimes theres still some poopy left after a few long sprays, I use toilet paper to dry off and do a check and then if its clean Im good to go, otherwise I hit it with some more sprays and check again. a few sheets of toilet paper is a lot better than no bidet but Im still not convinced a bidet by itself is good enough. at least here in the states bidets are simple bolt on squirters not a separate thing that might do a better job
You use the cleaning function first, then the dry function. Donât just dry the shit on there (well, maybe you would, but everyone else washes first, thatâs the point of a bidet).
Yes Iâm sure the multiple countries that use them donât have a fixation on being clean or anything at all, and are very pleased with blasting shit particles around. ^^/s
âIâm sure all these people sacrificing goats to the gods havenât seen their prayers answered all the time and are wrong - canât you see how successful the Greeks and the Romans are, you idiot? /sâ << you are this kind of person.
âMultiple countriesâ that âhave a fixationâ - therefore it canât be - hahahaha!
Are you against scientific evidence?
I gave multiple sources, you gave arguments from incredulity, popularity, and your personal perception of reputation of whole countries - collectively.
I still start my search with site:reddit.com when looking for an answer. I just prefer opening the cached hits so that traffic doesnât go to reddit but Google instead. Not like there werenât problems with Google, but this is the closest I can get to âpunishingâ Reddit but also getting an answer to my question.
Yep, right now, using a search engine with Reddit in the query is still the best option to find an answer to something. Maybe Lemmy fits that in time, but until then, Reddit it is.
So, it's more interesting than this. The trees are playing the squirrels. There's a normal amount of acorns that can support a normal amount of squirrels. But once every few years, the trees make a bunch more acorns. More than the normal amount of squirrels can eat. But not frequent enough that the number of squirrels increase. So the squirrels go crazy and hide em everywhere that year, but there's no way they can eat them all, so there are a bunch of acorns planted.
Tldr: trees manipulate # of acorns to get squirrels to plant more.
