Those in the Imperial Core will never understand that what they consider unbearable hardship and boredom is actually a life of luxury that the vast majority of people on Earth cannot even imagine.

The international division of labor is 1000x more important and impactful than the domestic one.

    If you don't have one, I highly recommend getting a cheap waterfall shower head and an extension arm. Huge quality of life thing, almost as big as a bidet. They're like $30-50 online and if you pull the little flow adapter out they're amazing.

        Wtf? Like a full on one, or the toilet attachment? Either way that's fucked.

          The toilet attachment. Most tenants I talked to were on the landlord's side. It's hell here lmao.

            How did the landlord even know? Can't you take put them on and take them off without even doing anything to the toilet? This is just sad.

              IIRC it was during a maintenance call for something unrelated and the landlord saw it and flipped out.

        They can't throw you out for keeping a super soaker in the bathroom :theory-gary:

        Wtf. I also rent, usually you just need to hook things up to the pipes, and the landlord wouldn't even know unless you made a huge mistake or they do a zillion inspections or something. There are also handheld bidets which are really good and super cheap too. Awesome for travel. I take mine camping.

      They are huge water-wasters and I'm amazed they're not illegal.

      King of the Hill was making jokes about low-flow toilets and that was 25 years ago.

        Honestly, they do have a higher flow rate, but I've cut down the amount of time I spend in the shower thanks to mine by enough that it more than offsets the increased water usage. Also I live in an area where groundwater is our primary source, and the aquifer levels are rising, rather than depleting.

        There are low-flow waterfall style ones, but you're sacrificing water pressure for area.
