I have a penis. I clean the bathroom in my house. I sit when I pee. And I extend that courtesy to other people’s houses. Public bathrooms, not so much. Mainly because I want to touch as little as possible in there.

I think Stephen was just looking to add the phrase “on the fly” to the rather respectable list of micturition puns in the article.

I’d ask if you just forgot about trans men, but I think I know why you omitted them, given the rest of your comment.

Yeah, that’s about the level of argument I expect from people whose stance while peeing is a part of their identity.

“I don’t understand what you wrote, so here’s a non sequitur comment, because I’m bored.”

I thought I’d seen every stupid argument against sitting to pee, but this one. Wow. Like, I know some people are large, but toilets aren’t thimble-sized. You living inside a tree or something? 

I like how you think primates naturally stand when they urinate or defecate. We’re the exception. And if you’ve got your phone out while urinating, either your attention span is ridiculously short, or your hygiene habits are terrible. Likely both.

Maybe we should strive to be better people, regardless of what other people might think or say? Nah, doing things for self-improvement is a sucker’s game.

Ah yes, men doing things just because they can. That never went wrong anywhere in the history of the world.

Easy choice there: put the seat down, and you’ll never have to hear complaints from the women in your life who totally like you, and don’t merely tolerate you.

Everyone should put the seat down. Seat gets down for those who want it, and no stupid sexism for no stupid reason. If you like the idea of an open toilet bowl just sitting there in your home, you’re a barbarian.

Preach it! Lawns are dumb. The more people who know it, the better.

Sure, if you’ve got a perfectly manicured, pillowy layer of grass holding up the layer of leaves, this works great. If you don’t buy into the bullshit waste of time and energy that is lawn care, you’ve got much less distance between the leaves and the ground, and you’re still gonna need to rake. If you care about

You can skip all the fancy locks and bars and security films. If someone wants in, they’ll break the glass. The film may contain the mess, but not the thief; 8 mils of plastic isn’t standing up to a hammer. Get a security system, by all means; audible alarms are deterrents, as is the threat of alerting law

Love me an Old Fashioned recipe, especially when I already have all the ingredients! Cheers!

I have used Command picture hooks, and they’ve been fine for years. You do have to install them properly, and respect the weight limits. Most people don’t really know how much their framed artwork actually weighs, and tend to underestimate it. Also, the thicker the frame, the more force is directed away from the wall

It’s a shelf, not a picture frame. Most of the force on a shelf is perpendicular to the wall surface, not parallel, or nearly parallel, like with a picture hook. And gypsum board sucks at resisting pull-out by itself. Thus the absurdly low weight capacity of these stick-on shelves. Why bother? Find studs, use the

Boy, I hope one of the signs isn’t “not watching videos of things that should be articles”. 

I play every day. Nice little puzzle, though not really challenging. That’s what Semantle and Squardle are for. And I don’t post about it, but then, I never did. Because I’m not needy that way.

This will be less of a problem if the high-mounted TV is on a mount that allows it to tilt down, keeping it perpendicular(ish) to the viewing angle, but a lot of people find this kind of mounting ugly, end up mounting it flush, and deal with the rainbows and weird contrast issues of off-axis viewing.
