  • Read the comment with instructions man. Wipe with toilet paper first, as normal. Then wash with soap and water. Then dry with a towel. If you’re smearing poop all over everything you’ve got other issues to work out.

    To answer your question, it is cleaner than just using toilet paper because you are wash with soap and water after you use the toilet paper. If you manage to get poop all over the towel when you’re done washing, then TP alone was never going to suffice.


  • Wait… I thought Apple left China because of slave(ish) labor reasons. But are still using Foxconn which is a Chinese company?

    Ah found this: “Like many of its competitors, Apple has relied on China for assembling its products for years. But political and economic factors have forced the company, as well as the broader tech sector, to rethink that approach by seeking partners from across the region.” (Link

    You can take the production out of China, but not China out of production…all for ‘optics’.


  • Many may be victims of a legal system that incentivizes recidivism and bullshit laws.

    For profit prisons need bodies to get federal cash, plus the cash from the underpaid labor the prisoners provide.

    I’m sure it would cost the government less to implement social programs that help nurture and support everyone than to continue to subsidize and pay private prisons.

    I have no proof of anything. But saying most don’t want to change seems hyperbolic and dog whistle-y.

    A very small minority are probably wired wrong and are indeed unchanging in their ways, I’d say the vast majority were set up to fail for profit.












  • We stood up during the anti Iraq war protests, occupy Wall Street, blm, pro-choice, marched for lgbtq rights, human rights, the environment.

    We’re burned out because (mostly) nothing changed or got worse… also busy working to the bone to be able to afford to go to work tomorrow.

    Perfect consumer because everything we need to buy is designed to fail and not be repairable.




  • I say next Saturday for the Saturday that will occur soonest.

    If someone waiting at a bus stop asks me which bus goes to the train station, I say the “the next one”. Meaning the one that will appear first at the bus stop, not the one after that. Which makes sense for days of the week too, to me anyway.

    I am always being corrected, though.


  • I don’t understand much here.

    You’re struggling in self taught high school geometry, but tested out at CC.

    You took HS, CC, and online intro to biology classes all at the same time.

    The CC wouldn’t let you run experiments due to lack of facilities.

    You are used as an expert judge in competitions in your (unknown) field.

    You want to maximize time in a college or university research lab.

    I’ll say this, you most likely won’t be in a lab much as an undergraduate, so don’t worry about transferring as a freshman. Why not ask all the friends and acquaintances in the research labs for advice and help? If that’s where you’d like to end up?

    Also, if you can already enroll in the college, then they, and no one, cares about your academic past- especially high school…
