It’s honestly shamefull to see people downvoting and calling you dumbass for raising questions and concerns about bidets. I’m not bidet trained either, and I don’t really have a strong opinion on them, but these responses almost make me want to take a stance against bidets.
When the lots are wide or several spots are free, I agree, I might pull in front first. But tight parking lots need that extra precission you get by backing into a lot. I have far more often been stuck for a while behind someone trying to pull in front first into a tight spot when backing in would have been quick and easy.
I’m not downvoting you, because this is the type of comment the thread is asking for. But I really need to question this one. To me, it’s obviously geometrically easier to back into tight parking lots. I’m not sure if you’re in the US, but here in Norway, parking lots are generally a lot tighter than american parking lots. When you have only about a meter of total clearance and a narrow road along it, there is no way in hell to pull in front first.
When countries vote for their neighbour, that is usually not enough to change the end result. The most popular song usually still wins. But Israel is assembling political votes all across Europe. Only a few percent of the voters need to be rallied to completely overtake the public votes. Also considering that Israel supporters are motivated to vote 20 times, people voting for their favorite song will likely only vote a few times, if at all.
Yes, Eurovision has always been political to some degree, but it hasn’t really swayed the results this much ever before.
For a system I worked on a few years ago I got the password requirement:
Only upper case letters A-Z, no letter or symbols.
Exactly 7 characters.
I was also recommended to make it a single word to make it memorable.
They were banned. There is a whole thing about why Russia is banned while Israel is not. I don’t have the facts, but comes down to something about membership in EBU (the european broadcasting union).
Maybe Animorphs was onto something with the Yeerk’s requirements.
I love how I know the name Bagger 288 because of a 16 year old meme
Sich a dumb word, but somehow I never really clicked on this word: “question”. I have spoken the word a lot, but somehow I practiced speaking english less when I moved away from my parents to study. English became more of a read and written language than spoken, so the words became just things to read, not to sound out loud.
After attempting to speak a bit more english again, words were drawn from memory by how they were written. And for some reason the word “question” was incredibly weird. “Kuest-ion”? No, I’m sure there is a “ch”-sound in there. “Kwest-chien”?
I had to check out some youtube videos on pronounciation to get it right.
Bro.
I live in a country where bidets are extremely rare. I honestly only know one single household with a bidet. I have however discussed getting one, but the discussion has pretty much faded out since it isn’t seen as a common need around here.
I fully agree with the “buttholes are the only thing we are content with wiping with paper to clean away poop”-paradox argument. I have mentioned that a lot in my discussions with my gf about getting one. So maybe I should get one - as I said, my opinion isn’t very strong as I haven’t experienced one, and I haven’t experienced sanitary issues with using paper.
So with all that said, it’s less tempting to make that purchase when people respond as condescending dickheads when raising concerns or questions about it. You just fully assumed that I lived in a place where bidets are common and told me to grow up and that I am ignorant. The other commenter got called a dumbass for not knowing the bidet procedure when they initially said that they were not bidet trained.
Being condescending doesn’t really help anyone. It just makes me want to ignore your advice.
