  Hard disagree. The only benefit I can think of from having the shitter and the shower in different rooms would be if you live with many different people and have bad time management.

  A wetroom gives you much more open space, and it also has basically everything many people do in the morning: toilet stuff, brush your teeth, take a shower. An added bonus is that it’s much easier to clean.

  You never empty the machine’s drain?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beware of Ice. It's the real killer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, blending alcohol and methamphetamine isn’t a smart idea regardless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You are undecided on buying a house. But this convinces you to buy it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you not have real estate agents in your country? Like 90% of real estate is sold by agents in Sweden as well. We don’t always have those signs, but yes on advertising and such it’s always their face included. It’s an expensive and big decision, so it’s used to instill trust or something.

  Don’t worry, that pill bottle problem will be solved if Canada joins the EU. You’ll get wonderful blister packs instead.

  You haven’t upgraded to 144 Hz eyes yet?

  How do you explain pavement (sidewalk, the rest of the roads are also usually paved), windshield (windscreen? A window screen has holes in it!), jumper (it’s a shirt, why would it be jumping?), etc!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Without a marker...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The kinds of guys who poop with markers.

  White Monster is highly caffeinated artificial sweetener water, it’s sugar-free.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why should we feel sorry or empathy for the rich when they get scammed? Shouldn't we be holding these scammers parades?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sympathy? No. But no parades either, because most bad actions are still bad, even if that particular victim deserved it.

  Pussi is Finnish for “bag”.

  I’ve always wondered why group boarding takes such a long time…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Food served to US service men & women.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I get that. But there hasn’t been any draft yet, so everyone on that boat has voluntarily joined the military.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gotta catch 'em all...⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not good with OSM; do you normally add pictures to the POI? Because you can’t have a pokestop without a picture I don’t think?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Food served to US service men & women.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Has there been a draft yet, or what do you mean?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh no⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I love Oxford commas, but I don’t see how that’d help with the students’ first, hand-job experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every payment option has a fee⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s only legal if you agreed to the fee when you first took out the debt

  Which is most likely defined in their terms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every payment option has a fee⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There must be a way to pay without fee.

  According to whom? As far as I’m aware, there’s no such law in the US regarding private companies. So they can be jerks if they want to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I offered to buy the large size, but no....she said she didn't want any⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You’d think so, but then she doesn’t actually want it, and you either need to gorge it down or waste it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Price of this Candy Bar⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Am I uneducated about how SNAP works, or is this a rare Texas W?

  I think it’s outrageous that you can’t even buy hygiene articles or medicines with SNAP, and in that way it’d make sense that something so non-nutritious like candy shouldn’t be allowed? Alcohol isn’t allowed either for example, despite the fact that beer would be (at least marginally) more nutritious than candy.

  So other than increasing the stigma already associated with SNAP, is it really problematic to ban candy? Even if it’s not a major cost point, the principle of “poor people are too dumb to budget themselves, so we won’t let them buy necessities like diapers and tampons… but we’ll gladly let them buy candy” just feels wrong to me?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some heroes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Despite his unhygienic lifestyle, he lived to the age of 94. He died a few months after bathing for the first time in 60 years, having been persuaded by the inhabitants of the village to do so.

  Damn, maybe he should have kept following his instinct.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Avocado Oil that claims to be “0 Calories” 🙄⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  then you’re going to have to do the math re: how much you’re actually going to use

  Sure, you’re probably going to spray a couple seconds at the most, which would be like less than 30 kcal. Basically nothing that you’d really count, unless you’re on a super-strict diet.

  But the problem is that it’s misleading. Uneducated shoppers might choose that brand specifically because “I’m on a diet”, instead of buying a cheaper non-spray version. And/or proceed to put a ton on their food, without realizing avocado oil is almost 900kcal/100g.

  “usually all have the same” isn’t fully true either in my experience. Are you really going to eat just 1/3 of a candy bar? It says 100 calories in big letters, surely it’d be much healthier than the avocado oil bottle that says 120 calories per serving.

  “Serving size” numbers are bullshit and should be banned.

  Only >0,5% ABV is classified as an “alcoholic beverage” federally.

  I guess there’s also different levels of “skipping”. If I was an American, I’d be skipping it unless I’m deathly suffering, whereas here I’d go if it’s sufficiently debilitating.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Going Back ↪️🏨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s common for cheaper hotels, at least in the US. They don’t call it a deposit, but an extra hold they place on your card when checking in. Probably to deter people from doing dumb stuff like smoking in a smoke-free room.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don’t you lie to me⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Giving an opportunity isn’t entrapment. It would be if someone said “hey dude, that girl there dropped her phone, do you want it?”

  But yeah I get what you mean, and that’s what I meant with “there’s probably more impactful stuff they could be doing instead”… Because no one who does finders-keepers on someone else’s personal belongings (when they can easily see the owner) is a good person tbh.

  Normal people lose their stuff all the time; it’s a good thing if opportunistic thieves think again before considering hurting an actual person, instead of just being a quota-filler.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don’t you lie to me⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  ⁠New York Personal Property Law § 252; it doesn’t have any name, it’s just an unclassified misdemeanor.

  But we actually have a word for this type of offence in Sweden, “fyndförseelse” (discovery misdemeanor? Not very easy to translate). Basically, if you find something, you have to return it immediately (if you’re aware of who the owner is), and if unknown you need to leave it to the police as soon as possible. But the fun part is, if the rightful owner doesn’t make a claim within 3 months, you become the legal owner and can do what you want with it.

  My apartment is right by several bars, and my backyard is one of the more secluded places in the area, so I end up finding stuff all the time; clocks, jewelery, etc, from people who think it’s more appropriate to piss on my wall and grass instead of using the bar’s toilet. Most of them claim their stuff, and that makes me happy, and the rest I can choose to sell or donate it to the government.

  So if the NYPD isn’t lying in that article, I don’t see any “gotcha” with it… other than there’s probably more impactful stuff they could be doing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The most unrealistic part of Odyssey is the journey taking 20 years⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone’s talking about driving… but you actually can take a boat from Troy to Ithaca. Just take the Erie Canal west until you reach Montezuma, at the confluence proceed to the Cayuga-Seneca Canal, and continue south through Cayuga Lake, and at the end you’ll reach Ithaca.

  Easy enough and only takes a couple days at the most. I have no idea why they needed to make some movie about this.

  Yeah, I guess I’m a weirdo if I don’t find the theme “misleading people for my own benefit” to be funny either.
