And if he wins, it will just be more of the same forever.

I’m not sure about how this makes me feel.

It is a highly appealing statement to the carefully, but barely, suppressed centrist in me.

I suspect a placebo.

This is the main thing I come up with because curiosity is the one thing that keeps ignorance from being a temporary state.

That may be the single most intuitive, and intuitively useful, app I have used in years.

Wow, instant default install.

I’m not sure clicking that link helped me understand this frankly bonkers photo any better.

In think ‘shrewd’ is probably the word, even if using it ironically.

The worst part is, after a short while, you actually cross this sort of threshold where you enjoy it and begin to look forward to it, and then you start to notice it is helping your mental as well as your physical health.

Just atrocious. It’s almost like we were evolved for this.

Ah, hello kindred spirit.

It is and it isn’t. We really stretch the definition of salad here.

Careful now. Our Scandinavian friends can introduce you to plenty of fresh (or decidedly not fresh) culinary horrors that are not Vegemite.

Moreso in the south, in my experience.

What do you mean you don’t want mini-marshmallows in your salad? What’s wrong with you?

Not too surprising really. Those things were not the problem and not what drove most of us away so…it would be natural to try to rebuild the aspects of it that you liked.

This is borderline KenM. I almost want to upvote you.

Thanks for using your knowledge to tell us what it doesn’t rhyme with.

Super helpful or as they say in France apparently, ‘just speak french instead’.

Now I am even more confused.

I have had the opposite experience. I’ve spent a lot of time in Europe and without fail the bidets I find myself using have a very weak stream, and they just look like a sink, and require extra cleanup to get all of the…particulate…down the drain.

On the 30 dollar unit I attached to my toilet, I get an extremely strong and focused stream, it is self-cleaning, and everything is handled by the same flush.

This is literally like the flying cars of cleaning your butt, and it’s not even new technology. There is literally zero downside.

By the way, PSA for anyone like me who has been saying gratin wrong for a long time, the proper pronunciation is gra-TAN (rhymes with Dan) or gra-TAAN (rhymes with Don). I said GRA-tin (rhymes with rotten) for 40 years on this earth.

Or at least, now someone who properly knows the exact right way to say it can reply to this and correct me.

I am thunderstruck, honestly. Do you mind sharing what you prefer about it?

I have not checked.

I can’t recommend integrated bidets strongly enough.
