  the 6 digit code ones really aren’t that big of a deal, you just whip out your phone and open an app

  Until you’re in tough times financially and your phone company cuts you off, permanently locking you out of every account with SMS 2FA! This actually happened to me, and there was nothing I could do about it, unlike phishing and shoulder surfing, which are easily within my power to prevent.

  I’m not going to use digital currency or a digital ID so that I’m protected from myself.

  I am so fucking tired of entering a password, then a code I got by by text, so I can set up an authentication app and register my physical auth key. Why can’t I just use a different strong password for each service, same as I have for the last 30 years without getting hacked.

  You should be allowed to opt out of this bullshit if your password entropy is high enough.

  My bike was stolen, and I live in a small enough town that the cops actually did go through the footage to find the thief.

  He called back 15 minutes later for more details and mentioned he was 15 minutes into the footage.

  Weird how it’s literally impossible to ever live without something no one had 100 years ago

  I’ve never doubted the Tiananmen Square massacre before, but there are so many posts lately insisting it happened I’m starting to think maybe it didn’t

  I wash my hands because I use my hands to manipulate objects, touch my face and prepare food. Perhaps you perform these tasks with your anus?

  If I had a sphincter on my hand with shit inside it, which occasionally farted or shit came out, and washing it would never actually make it hygienic because it’s not a hermetic seal and bacteria from the shit inside would always be on it anyway, then yeah I’d just wipe it with paper. And use the other hand

  Or you never used paper properly.

  If wiping your ass is a three minute process involving mashing shit around, then you’re the sloppy shit person I’m talking about. I’d want a bidet if that happened to me too.

  For me wiping is one to clean and one to polish. First sheet gets stained slightly brown (but no actual shit on it, because that’s in the toilet), second sheet comes away clean. It’s a five second process.

  It’s a freestanding ceramic bidet plumbed in to hot and cold water, the kind everyone is saying is the best. Lived there up through my 20s. Waddling over to it to wash and then dry was an utter waste of time.

  Because they just aren’t very good.

  Bidet people think bidets are incredible and come up with all these psychoanalytic reasons why people won’t use them, but that’s the reason.

  I had one growing up and used it occasionally but always disliked it. They’re inconvenient and don’t make you noticeably cleaner than toilet paper.

  IMHO they’re for germphobes and people who do really sloppy shits.

  And never run commands copied from a web page, even if you do know them.

  JavaScript’s copy/paste API means a website owner or an attacker can change the contents of your clipboard after you press copy, and you’ll end up pasting malicious commands into your shell. I think Firefox blocks this now, don’t know about Chrome.
