- Comment on Is a Quest 3 really worth it? 4 weeks ago:
I’m really trying to avoid all Meta products, but Quest 3 seems to have the best reviews and there are some good refurbished and used deals.
I’m not sure what to pick instead.
- Comment on is "oh boy" considered a gendered term? 5 weeks ago:
“Oh it” sounds like you are trying to sneakily say “Oh shit” by not pronouncing some syllables.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
You are thinking about what Trump publicly and repeatedly said he would do on his first day.
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 3 months ago:
Because racism and sexism is still very prevalent in the US.
She is a minority. And she is a woman.
The news is a shit hole funded by the ultra wealthy who will benefit from Trump’s tax cuts for the ultra wealthy. Which explains the coverage.
Many voters are still racist and sexist. Which explains the polls.
- Comment on If I have an account on Mastodon.Social, and another account on PieFed.Social are they technically on the same instance, since they're both on .Social? 3 months ago:
No. I see you making fun of someone for asking a question. They are trying to apply some of their knowledge to something new. What they have learned from some other good answers is useful going forward.
Sadly, it seems you need to learn more to be able to understand where this person is coming from.

I’m sorry about your confusion. Please start another thread, though, so people can focus on answering OP.
- Comment on what's a polite way to reject a picture with a very thankful patient who was under your care? 3 months ago:
If this only happens at work, then you can say, “Sorry, that’s against my department’s policy. We’ve had some incidents and my boss told us not to.”

“Sorry, I don’t get paid enough to afford a phone.” /s

Ha ha!
- Comment on How is Lemmy better than Reddit? 4 months ago:
Did you ask if people think Trump has been acting weird lately? Not an accusation, just asking a question.
- Comment on How is Lemmy better than Reddit? 4 months ago:
It’s still pretty easy to get banned on Lemmy. It’s still just human mods.
- Comment on How to people that have to wear black nitrile gloves all day keep from having sweaty hands? 4 months ago:
You and a coworker do a strong, aggressive handshake every little while.
- Comment on How to people that have to wear black nitrile gloves all day keep from having sweaty hands? 4 months ago:
If you are a mechanic, you can blow some air from the compressor into your gloves every 10 minutes.
- Comment on Anyone else feel like Trump has a much higher chance to win then Presidency than Kamala? 4 months ago:
How did you refer to Hillary Clinton before you saw a campaign slogan?
- Comment on Anyone else feel like Trump has a much higher chance to win then Presidency than Kamala? 4 months ago:
Who was getting confused which Clinton was running in 2016.
If someone was switching between both in the same context, then it would either be Mr. Clinton and Mrs. Clinton, or Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton.
- Comment on Anyone else feel like Trump has a much higher chance to win then Presidency than Kamala? 4 months ago:
Please explain.
- Comment on Anyone else feel like Trump has a much higher chance to win then Presidency than Kamala? 4 months ago:
We didn’t refer to the 43rd president as George since his father with the same last name was already the 41st president.
People did not get confused which Clinton was running in 2016.
- Comment on Anyone else feel like Trump has a much higher chance to win then Presidency than Kamala? 4 months ago:
There have been 0 presidents named Harris. Who else is running with the name Harris? What is more unique about Kamala than Harris?
Saying Kalama is unique is just saying, “Wow, look, a Black person. How exotic!”
- Comment on Anyone else feel like Trump has a much higher chance to win then Presidency than Kamala? 4 months ago:
I hear her mom calls her Kamala. Doesn’t mean most people should, unless she specifically says for people to call her Kamala instead of Harris.
- Comment on Anyone else feel like Trump has a much higher chance to win then Presidency than Kamala? 4 months ago:
Yes. Same as when Hilary Clinton ran. It was Hilary, not Clinton.
Just social disrespect for women.
- Comment on Anyone else feel like Trump has a much higher chance to win then Presidency than Kamala? 4 months ago:
But then Black people might vote. America still hasn’t forgiven Black people for existing.
- Comment on How common of a name is Ghislaine? 5 months ago:
Thanks for asking. I went back and forth in my head since I’ve never heard it said out loud and never looked it up.
- Comment on Would it be possible to use aerosol-based geoengineering technology locally to cool houses? 5 months ago:
Isn’t this just another type of insulation? Not saying it’s bad, just that it’s incremental, not revolutionary.
I wouldn’t call this geoengineering.
- Comment on Could anyone explain the linguistics around the word "shit"? 5 months ago:
I think they are pronounced shitiodms.
- Comment on Exit poll: Labour to win landslide in general election 5 months ago:
Thanks for the good explanation.
- Comment on Exit poll: Labour to win landslide in general election 5 months ago:
I think Brexit caused enough widespread, obvious, long term, ongoing, and unfixable pain for everyone that people are starting to see through the lies and move away from the ultra conservative side.

Let’s never eat anywhere near each other.

Oops, you didn’t even finish reading my first comment and just started replying. So your answer actually doesn’t apply.

You full well know we’re talking about the average guy in just your everyday average bathroom usage.
We’re not talking about edge cases.
There are some edge cases where you would never wash your hands - because you don’t have any, or wearing a pee bag (whatever they are called)…
There are some edge cases where you should just pee in your clothes - when you’re floating in the middle of the ocean all alone…
There are some edge cases where you always make someone else handle your business - when you’re in a coma…
There are some edge cases where you should hold your pee - someone has an example…
What other edge cases do you want to think up to prove absolutely nothing?

You don’t wash your hands after peeing?
