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.

      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.

              So the landlord and tenants supporting the landlord were too stupid to understand that it was a temporary addition, because they never saw a bidet in their lives or something?

              That's incredible

                Yep. No amateur maintenance on the pipes allowed. A lot of people also thought the bidet was weird and seem to think it was a sex thing. A lot of boomers here.

                Basically there's a reason my rent is like 20% below market rate lol.

                  Is this how we got the "washing your ass is gay" discourse? Boomers are something else man.

      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.
