Done with my business!
Should I use my own hand covered by a strip of absorbent tissue paper to smear waste over my skin?
Or wash it away with water without touching my waste with my hand?
What a dilemma.

The US has the clean water act - correct.
“at least my lakes, rivers and water ways are all clean enough for me to use”. - very, very wrong.
Many of your waterways are so polluted that they regularly catch fire and are linked to higher cancer rates
Then there’s “The country most famous for the bidet trend is France and currently swimming in the Seine is still looking impossible”,
which, if we
ignore Japan
pretend fecal matter is only unsanitary if you clean yourself with water(incorrect)
and follow your implication that because bidets were popularized in one country, part of a single river in their country is historically dangerously polluted(incorrect),
makes as much sense as
“The country most famous for TP is the US and currently the Mississippi, Ohio River and Savannah are and will be polluted for decades to come, plus the Cuyahoga river and also US drinking water catches on fire sometimes.”
How about
“If my infrastructure is so shitty”
No “ifs” about it, American infrastructure is crumbling. Your power grids regularly fail and are vulnerable because of their age, your bridges are collapsing, people can’t easily travel the country because of undeveloped mass transit, your health care system has failed its population, and you can’t house or feed even your veterans, let alone large parts of your population.
Those are all direct evidence of a critical failure in US infrastructure.
“Also, stable government??” Putting aside that your standard for stability is
“our government has been so stable that it has changed for 240 years.”(I have no idea what you’re going for here),
Your corrupt presidents, senators, congressmen, governors and citizens regularly cry out for secession and civil war, regularly attempt to defraud your electoral system and literally attempted a violent coup to overthrow your governmental seat of power just three years ago.
Trump, liable for rape and treason, constitutionally prohibited from running for president, might be re-elected, despite his admiration for and aspiration to emulate authoritarian regimes(and so many other faults).
Not the picture of stability. The picture of instability, in fact.
They’ve certainly built up the benefit of the doubt, especially Bernie.
Their conduct behooves anyone to look into and fully understand what they’re doing before decrying them for a single act they instinctually might disagree with.
Especially a criticism like “haven’t done enough”.
I can’t imagine any “haven’t done enough” that overturns all of the very important work either of them have done or are doing.
My guess is Lemmy skews young.
so many of these revelations and showerthoughts are pretty banal coming of age stuff.
The US is a 3rd world country.
Cannot upvote these three dots enough.
What you’re saying doesn’t reflect reality.
Sanders and AOC are incredibly active progressive politicians.
AOC just introduced articles of impeachment against supreme Court Justices.
If you’re getting angry at Bernie and AOC, you’re probably on the wrong side of an issue
Okaymatewanker, luxury smearing is still smearing.
Yyyuck
It’s mostly the stable government, infrastructure, currency and tech.
Pretty much why I’ve been calling the US a 3rd world country for years.
Your"IMO" aren’t opinions; those are the facts, jack
IMO, no country that primarily uses toilet paper instead of a bidet is 1st world.
You’re projecting.
But it would be funny if you tried to prove your lies.
I’m very comfortable admitting when I’m wrong.
I’m very comfortable here being right.
You’re stuck?
I’m not going to spoil it for you, maybe you’ll eventually work it out.
What I said is:
“what do you think you’re arguing about?”
I didn’t mention myself.
It’s clear they meant to be arguing something, but if their argument was directed against me, they probably wouldn’t have agreed with me.
If they were arguing against Biden, they probably wouldn’t have praised him.
So, what do they think they’re arguing against?
Sure thing, that was my typing mistake earlier, thanks for bringing it up.
1 percent is a rounding error, but wiping away 10%, 160 billion, despite the conservatives stopping him from erasing 400 billion recently is pretty impressive.
I agree that the timing is overly conspicuous
I like the trolls, they are funny.
I also accept that this is often sound, logical advice.

160 billion, not million, coming up on 10% student debt cancellation so far.
Have fun, and when you get tired, chill out and relax.
Don’t make yourself “have fun” if you feel more like relaxing
