So his plan is to get the rest of the world off of the dollar asap.

No certs and degree isn't in CS. I just have lots of experience.

My pathway was basically:

  1. Got a low tier job as a glorified intern (paid)
  2. Switched jobs a few times, pay increasing each time. Chose interesting jobs.
  3. Left a low paying gov job for contract work. Got hired full time by one of my contractors.
  4. Have stayed at that job. Golden handcuffs.

Future generations will blame you for everything also.

They are butt showers.

You poop first in the toilet and if it was a messy one you use some paper (not all countries' pipes can handle paper though). Then you go to the bidet and clean there. Let the jet hit your hole and wiggle a bit if need be. Use some paper to dry off. Woman will also wash their privates with the bidet after peeing.

In India and China you also got a hose or just a hose in many places. That requires a bit more finesse due to the risk of giving yourself a shower if you don't aim well. You might even just get a cup which you fill and use to wash yourself manually. You need to carry some liquid soap and sanitizer when traveling in areas that might require this and keep your fingernails cut short. In remote areas it is a hole next to the animal pen and you bring your own paper.

I got a bidet attachment for my home during the pandemic due to the severe toilet paper hoarding that was going on.

Why do people feel the need to have a $60K+ massive behemoth? 99% of the time if I glance in the bed it is spotless. It is probably only used for commuting and carrying groceries. It might haul a load of mulch once a year. The things are so high that if they hit a car they are going to ride up over the hood and crush you. At least my state finally got its act together and banned those goddamn frontend lifted trucks that made it impossible to see anything within 50 ft and guaranteed a deadly collision. Now I know someone will say "But I need it for my building job/farm/etc", you are the exception, the vast majority sold are not being used for that.

"reasoning that these vehicles are safer for drivers in the event of a crash" Sounds like an arms race. Soon we will be driving armored personnel carriers.

It is bad enough they make them with ridiculously loud exhausts as bad as muscle cars and fart exhausts. Electric cars and trucks quieting everything can't come fast enough.

Right up there with customer service lines that just have menus of canned responses that don't address your need. No, I don't need to hear your hours, I don't need to know where you are, I can find all of that online. I need to talk to a human being.

Being able to communicate to other people is sort of an important thing that could feel frustrating.

Crazy idea, how about we have a few years where we aren't involved in some war?

People aren't good with small talk and stuff like this is one of the few things you'd be likely to have in common.

You can always find someone on a social media site who actually holds that belief

It temporarily goes down when the laptop gets moved to another Starbucks location.
