That was a big question during the trial, too

Ah, okay, thanks for explaining

Well yeah but why is that funny?

I don’t even see it as a joke. lol disabled people? What am I missing here?

Lets not pretend that it isn’t about data collection though. If they cared about protecting my data, they’d spend a little more money and either make 0.1% less profit or pass the cost onto the consumer

Thanks for the recommendation

Thanks for the recommendation

Yes, that’s another reason. I’m reliant on the app for the device to function - if they stop supporting it, the company goes bankrupt, my wifi cuts out - I now have a very expensive piece of plastic.

Fortunately I’m not in the US so I actually have reproductive rights

I’ve been looking for a breast pump recently - I’d like electric so I don’t have to manually pump. All of the ones I could find in the shop required an app to connect to the device. Why? What purpose does that serve me? I’d have to make an account, accept needless permissions and cookies and give them access to very personal data about my boobs and milk production - I went with a manual one instead

Yeah, it’s an adapted toilet for a disability and also built into a wall (old house, weird architecture), so the easy attachable ones don’t cut it. Even if they did, I’d still prefer the separate bidet unit, tbh. Just personal preference and what I’m used to, which would require someone to fit it

Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find a bidet attachment that fits my toilet. When we move, I’m getting one for sure but I’ll still use toilet roll at times too

That being said, I’m not sure the cost-benefit really fits here. The initial cost (£100-500, depending on quality and type) plus fitting (£100-200 depending on plumbers in your area) would take about 10 years to break even when spending £40 on toilet roll per year. And by then, I’m sure I would have moved house or the bidet would have broken or something

I often see people say to buy the expensive toilet roll but I always go for the low end of the midrange rolls. I don’t need 4ply, scented, quilted shit, I just need two pieces of paper stuck together.

There is a balance, you don’t want to get the 1ply stuff you’d find in a stingy office. But just look at the label and price-per-sheet

(If you can afford it, buy a year’s supply in bulk from the company)

Sincere question: would a baggy coat or rain mac be acceptable on the outside, since it still disguises the figure?

Also, if you’re out and about and wearing a coat underneath but then decide that you’re too hot, what’s the best way to remove it whilst keeping your modesty?

Everything that Salman said.

This sounds exactly like me and my partner: a small thing can ruin his day and it ruins my day because then I have to put up with his bad mood. What’s helped him was some intense solution-based therapy to address his shitty childhood as well as an awareness that several ‘bad’ things in a row is just a coincidence and not the world (his family) out to get him.

With our kids, I’m making sure to say ‘oh well’ and not fix it immediately everytime a mild frustration happens. They see their dad getting upset and have started to copy his behaviours so we’re trying to encourage them to just brush things off before they get stuck in the mindset.

Also, I’m sorry to say but I think the vast majority of people would be boring. We all have 1 or 2 interesting things happen to us in our lives but the humdrum of taking a shit and sleeping for 8 hours would get old fast
