I don't think they missed the point. Science already pushes info to the masses and it regularly gets rejected. Why would NASA spend money to do something that was already done? That's a political problem right now, not science

Just buy a cheap one and go for it. The stream aims pretty well so your whole ass isn't wet. All you really need to do is take a small amount of toilet paper to dry your taint and bunghole. The warm ones would be nicer but mine are hooked to the cold water and even my wife says it's a game changer

I don't warm the water and live in a cold climate, just get one of the cheap ones and try it. Granted, the warm ones would be better, but I'll be damned if these things don't get the job done better. Even my wife asked me to install one in the second bathroom after she stopped laughing at me and tried it

It's similar to not being afraid of failure because you can define it differently if you have the perspective.

Not succeeding isn't failure if you learn something from it. Programming, for example, is an endless series of failures that cumulatively result in success. So failure being part of the process makes it easier to swallow and push past

If you were doing like this guy and gave empty gifts, yeah that's a Grinch move. I agree that you shouldn't judge who celebrates what, but there's no need to go this route. "Hey kids, come here! Oh sorry, nothing for you!". And not in a funny was, but in a sad "don't judge me" way. A sign alone is better if you're unwilling to turn off the porch light. It's a simple tradition everyone already understands

And there it is.. the truth about the lie. Yes I did know, I hope you do too. You don't need to lie and feel judged because no one cares if you're handing out candy. And making kids walk up for nothing will probably set off the ones you're trying to avoid. Good luck tho

Umm... Dude I was the dumb fuck with eggs and TP when I was young, and a sign like this would be irrelevant to me. With that logic, I'd egg you for having your lights off too, right? And for having an empty bowl too. You're either on a shit list or not. So as someone speaking from a different perspective you placed on me, punk kids would be more pissed about the empty bowl you made them walk up to. But lie your way through life if that's your winning strategy. It's just not for me. There's better ways to gain respect

But... the sign alone takes care of the knocking. Lying about why the bowl is empty is for preventing judgement. But you already know that

What? Where do you people live where you get vandalized for a sign that says "sorry no candy". It's the same as having the lights off. Geeze are there any adults in here?

Then just put up a sign without the bowl? If you're not worried about judgement, why go the extra mile and fake you ran out of candy? Think about it

I agree with you but this is just a crappy LPT. Duping children so you don't feel judged is just dumb. Stand up for yourself and just put a sign up "sorry no candy" if you feel people might come knocking. Adults don't care if you participate or not
