Why would your schedule shift from week to week?

My suggestion would be that the entire society worked like that, completely unrealistic, I know, but I think it would be a great way to work.

Six day week, three days of work, three days off, no dedicated weekends.

You get more opportunities to hire more employees, there are no specific weekends with odd open hours, everyone has the time to go and deal with stuff like paperwork, doctors visits and other things you need.

Everyone gets more free time off, more people have jobs meaning they have money to do stuff and companies would earn more money since more people would spend it.

Normal 8-17 hours for work days.

Public holidays would still be a thing obviously.

Vacations as well naturally.

Damn, I had almost successfully forgotten about this dickhead.

Time to buy another bottle of champagne to add to my collection of bottles to be toasted with when terrible people die.

So far I have two bottles, one for Trump and one for Putin, I need to get bottles for Musk and Tate.

Ok, this is fascinating.

This thread was about wiping with paper after going to the toilet, this was not a thread about general cleanliness.

I shower every day, this obviously includes wasing my asshole.

So now, I want an answer to this question.

What in this entire thread gave you the impression that I never wash my asshole?

I stand by what I wrote, wiping after using the toilet is fine, it obviously is a temporary solution until the next proper shower, but that is fine.

I use Telia but have considered switching to Fello.

I am in a similar situation, I have a pair of Bose QC35 II as my main headphones, they still sound brilliant, are comfortable to wear and have a decent battery life, but they use Micro USB, I have a decent charging setup, a dedicated Micro USB cable from a big USB charger.

I want a new pair of QC SC from Bose, but they are expensive, and I don’t like that the earcups are plastic while my QC35 II’s has metal earcups, I can afford the QC SC without any issue, but it just feels wrong to buy new a new pair of headphones when the old ones still work.

Does your asshole touch a lot of surfaces?

Mine mostly just touch my underwear…

That is fair, though in places with unreliable water I doubt that using water to flush or a bidet would be the first priority.

You should go on street view and check out Asia, whenever I visited Thailand and see a backroad, there is a huge number of used plastic bottles lying next to the road.

They still get drinking water from bottles.

Weather that is the case in large cities like Bangkok I don’t know as I haven been there enough to learn.

Nope, autonomous driving will probably evolve into a drive by wire system, where you drive the computer that drives the car, that means that you are kept in a safety bubble where your inputs are validated to be safe by the computer before they are performed.

Similar to that of fighter jets today.

Not in 20 year mate.

Oil has a massive problem, it is just too fucking good at what it does, energy density of a battery is far, far below petrol, and require complex infrastructure at the point of sale, while petrol can even be dispensed without electricity.

Nope, I can’t see this happening either, unless bides take over.

Toilet paper is actually rather effective, it is cheap, easily processed, effective enough at removing most of the crap, it does not require added water infrastructure (I would not clean my ass with grey water) and simple to teach new users

Nah, I can’t see VR ever going so completely mainstream that it replaces a normal screen and controller.

It is just not convenient enough.

Unregulated capitalism*

Capitalism in and of itself is a turbo charger for the economy, but like a real turbo charger it need regulations to not destroy itself and the engine.

Back in 1780s the US constitution was an absolute marvel of progressiveness, but today, it is increadibly outdated and keeps the US political system back from making progress.

The thing is that the US also does not have 100% free speech.

You can absolutely get arrested in the US for shouting “FIRE!” In a crowded area.

Regarding punishment for violent crimes seeming low in Europe, that is mainly due to us focusing on rehabilitation rather than revenge. However change is comming, we are moving to longer punishments.

If I got to decide, we would have a system where we focus on rehab for the first X times a person commits a crime, when it has been shown that the person does not want to change, then they are put in containment prisons, they are less nice, and focus on containment firstly, rehab secondly.

No, celebration of a completed orbit around our star does not mean we are idiots.

It means that we have managed to determine how long an orbit around the star takes, a significant scientific discovery.

No, but not due to reliability.

Rather because an Xbox controller is not designed to fly a real aircraft.

I would however go on a boat that was controlled with an Xbox controller, less speed and one less direction to worry about.

So you are failing your own morality test, and handwaving it away.

How convenient.

I thought history was quite clear, time and time again, it has been shown that once you declare a group of persons as “subhuman” bad shit start happening.
