Yep, and here's the simple litmus test.'

"Do I trust any of the people who are collecting large amounts of data about a large number of people?"

No...and furthermore, hell no.

You're the one that asked the question, "Because Russia just invaded out of nowhere, right?" It's clearly your turn to answer here.

Wait until you have to merge dishwasher loading preferences into a single save file.

Kick it back to the states, they said.

Totally agree, the right to choose how best to spend your own charitable donations isn't something I'd ever infringe on.

You're visually distinct for gaming purposes.

I imagine the person trying to decide whether to use 8008 OR spell it on the keypad with corresponding letters like the meme with the guy choosing between two red buttons.

No, my point has always been that you wouldn't try to clean anything with a dry rag, so bidets make more sense than toilet paper. My example was putting peanut butter on watermelon and wiping it with toilet paper, you'd still expect it to smell like peanut butter, would you not? IYou took it to have some meaning I never intended.

I had a bidet for a while and would use it, drip for a bit, then dry off and "finish" with a round toilet paper. It's a pretty easy way to prevent the possibility of bidet water dripping down your leg and just felt...cleaner? This is a shitty conversation anyway ;) Anyway, this seems like we just misunderstood each other. I apologize for my share of the barbs. Take care.

I fully agree with not limiting themselves financially whether it's 1,10,100 etc. Their aim is to bring knowledge in all languages to even the poorest parts of the world. If some Lemmy user's bank account is one of the poorest parts of the world right now, lol...I mean only "you" know how much money you can stand to give while still living comfortably and being entertained in life.

I have to take small disagreement with the money contribution not making a difference though. It's the flip side of the same coin that tells people it's find if they don't vote cause their one vote won't make a difference. The hole in the argument is that we don't vote alone, and we don't donate alone. The specific attitude "my vote won't make a difference" actually costs millions of votes every year, just like "my $20 won't make a difference" could cause millions of dollars of losses.

But anyway, separate argument from the situation here as our Lemmiford here sounds like they're in saving mode till things look up.

You haven't understood my pretty clear language and then are calling my metaphor dumb? Wow.

You don't wipe with no cloth and just water alone? No shit, are you going for a promotion from Captain Obvious to Major Lee Obvious?

Your "no, the first thing you do is get the rag" is about the dumbest response I can imagine and inaccurate since the situation was framed as "wipe with a rag" implying a situation where one already has the rag. You might as well have wrote "the first thing you do is put on appropriate non-skid footwear and remove any rings."

You're not pedantic, you're pretending to score points by calling me out for omitting the incredibly obvious parts that really didn't need to be said at all.
