Would be more valuable if you just posted the debate instead of trying very hard to make the reader take on your point of view.

Not saying I disagree with you, but this reads very proselytizing.

Actually no. How the fuck do you piss not into the toilet while sitting? That’s the big advantage of sitting down, that and the extra comfort, you don’t have to aim.

The only times this has ever happened was when I was completely hammered and didn’t sit down properly.

Honestly I don’t even see how this is physically possible. Unless you literally do not have a dick there should always be enough - let’s say range - available to bring the urine exit point below the toilet bowl edge.

I feel weird writing this down.

I too am desperate for gestures configuration.

I have used swiping in Apollo solely to move back / forward and find myself accidentally hiding or upvoting things as well. Swiping from the left screen edge works somewhat reliably to go back, but still is very inconvenient because it requires such a precise input I am not used to.

Have you tried with different browsers / without browser addons that might impact the sites behavior? Otherwise I don’t know either

Boomers say that because historically, with increasing age people usually also managed to have some things they might want to conserve, like a home and some financial assets to cover their retirement. I’m in my mid thirties and the only feasible way for me to ever own a home is inheriting one. My retirement plan is to die in the revolution. I have nothing to be conservative about

It is mostly serious. There is plenty of scientific evidence on how car centric infrastructure, city planning and policies have destroyed walkable cities and require an in proportion extreme amount of space and accommodations. Cars as a means of transportation are wholly inefficient, you could put several dozen daily commuters into a single bus, multiple times that in a single subway train.

The only space where cars are not short term replaceable to great improvement of the general habitability of the area is in rural regions where distances are huge, people are spread out widely and communal infrastructure is simply too inflexible to accommodate the needs of the citizens.

I think the 196 community is the originator, though I already didn’t know what they were about when on reddit, I mostly find their posts confusing. From what I understand the (only) rule is that the post title must contain the word rule.

How to get engagement on the internet:

  • post interesting, quality content ❌

  • post false information to bait people into correcting you ✅

Gottseidank. Ich bin selbst progressiv und habe kein Problem damit jemanden so anzusprechen wie er es möchte, oder darauf zu achten inklusive Sprache zu benutzen, aber niemand wird weniger diskriminiert oder mehr als ebenbürtig angesehen durch die Verhunzung der Deutschen Sprache und Grammatik.

Meines Erachtens ist all die Aufregung um gegenderte Sprache und Pronomen sowieso nur Augenwischerei, damit das eigentliche Problem der Intoleranz nicht angegangen werden muss, weil das eine Menge ungemütlicher Themen und Punkte beinhalten würde welche auch im Widerspruch zu typisch linksliberalen Ansichten und Themen stehen.

Beispielsweise die kognitive Dissonanz zwischen linker Einwanderungs- bzw. Integrationspolitik und der Realität dass viele der Neuankömmlinge tief religiöse Konservative sind, welche nicht viel übrig haben für die Werte welche sie willkommen geheißen haben. Die Realität ist nun mal leider dass man nicht alles und jeden aufnehmen kann ohne eine gewisse kulturelle Assimilation zu verlangen. Dies weder zu fordern noch zu fördern ist zwar historisch bedingt, und bis heute ein kontroverses Thema, aber in der Praxis ist ein gesellschaftlicher Schwelbrand welchen wir zu lange ignoriert haben im Namen falsch verstandener Toleranz. Und jetzt haben wir das braune Gesocks über 20%, weil die gemäßigten Parteien keine realistische Antwort auf die Immigrationsfrage finden und verlieren Jahrzehnte des gesellschaftlichen Fortschritts.

No worries, I just saw this pop up on my feed. Without further context it just seems very removed from reality for most people.
