What if your wife already won’t have sex with you? Asking for a friend…

I got nothin’.

You said your lid and seat are totally independent - suggesting you can leave the seat up but close the lid.

I believe that’s an interpretation mistake on your part (the italicized part).

I was responding in disagreement to your comment about how both of them have to both be up together, or both down together, to actually use the toilet.

A reminder of what I was responding to…

So she asks me to always make sure to put the seat down for her,

Seat is down if thenlid is down.

Our lid is seperate from the seat. One can be done down while the other one is still up.

I wasn’t commenting on what order they stack on top of each other.

I feel like I’m being trolled myself tbh.

For the record, not trolling at all, it’s not what I do.

So lets just shake our headsbin unison and carry on.

And yes, this is definitely not a subject we should be continuing to talk about. Have a good day.

So you can have the lid down while seat is up? Then what you said before makes much more sense. Though not sure what purpose this feature brings. Or how that would even lool like, never seen anything like that.

Are you trying to be purposely obtuse, or intellectually dishonest?

Or are you trying to let me know I have a typo somewhere in one of my earlier comments, without actually explicitly saying so?

Or do you have a magic toilet where urine can pass through the lid when its down?

You don’t want that E. Coli on your toothbrush.

Actually our bathroom sink is outside of the bathroom toilet, with a door seperating them. 🤷

I’ve had this happen to me. I suspect it’s one sad MRA type with a pile of accounts bringing the downvotes.

If true, I’d feel really sad for that person, in a go outside and touch grass sort of way.

Honestly, at this point I expect the large amount of downvotes for anything I post. I’ve had that happen to a post where I just said “Thanks” and nothing else. Its sad, and I’d wish the Lemmy admins would catch that sort of thing more often (understanding that they are volunteers, but still), as it doesn’t make my experience here on Lemmy any better than when I was on Reddit.

Lid down so the flush spray is mostly contained is enough reason, no?

We never have that problem in our household. 🤷

We have a toilet that flushes in the front to the back in a jet, there’s never any splash.

Where the falling in problem tends to reoccur, if not prevented.

Maybe I’m not understanding you but lid down is a foolproof way to not fall in from my perspective.

My wife always forgets when she gets up in the middle of the night, and falls in, or sits on the lid and has to get up and put the lit up and seat down herself.

So she asks me to always make sure to put the seat down for her, something that I’m happy to do, as a happy wife is a happy life.

Because subconsciously they want to fuck their mom of course.

That’s a very Oedipus Rex statement.

Toilet seat belongs down - and the lid with it! It’s not only logical, but also just.

The thing is, at least in our household, the lid has to stay up.

I actually thought as you do, as that would be a perfect compromise, both parties would have to work to use the toilet.

But from what I’m told, is the late night half asleep moments where you forget to put the seat down, and you fall down into the toilet, that is being prevented by making sure the seats always down and the lid is always up.

It’s a low hanging fruit way of maritial bliss, so I go with it.

“old lady” absolutely is slang for wife.

I know it exists, but I’ve never used it.

Also, I was just being more humorous, than literal, hence the toilet seat comment.

Being serious for a moment, IMO, it sends one hell of a negative signal to your significant other, to your dissatisfaction of them, which I’ve never felt for my own wife.

Edit: …

And for those of you who may disagree with me, ask yourself this. Is your wife actually okay with you using that slang, or do they just act like they’re okay, but inside it bothers them? Do they see it as a term of endearment, or as a reminder of reality?

Reminding your wife that she’s old, even playfully, may not be something she wants to hear.

And generally speaking, women seem to care more about aging than men do. That’s why when someone asks you how old your wife is, when she is in earshot, you always say 18, or at the very least 21! 😜

but their “old lady” is their wife?

No married man calls his wife old, not if he ever wants to have sex again with her.

That, and leaving the toilet seat up.

Edit: And apparently once again I’ve tapped into an unexpected conflict point in our society. 😋

When we finally figure out and understand, in a real world mechanical sort of way, quantum mechanics, all bets will be off.

It’ll open up a new perspective on the Universe (dare I say Metaverse?), and where we fit in with everything.

Or time maybe?

Time and space is one.

Thanks for the reply.

Data/B4/Lore were all partitioned in the same positronic brain that was in a “new” Data body.

And Lore and Data had an internal fight over the body.

That seems unusual, that one positronic brain can handle all three of those at once, but it sounds like a potentially interesting episode.

I feel bad for B4, sounds like he’d be way out classed by the other two.

Also you really should give Strange New Worlds a try at least.

I might if it ever comes to a service that I have a sub to where I can see it.

But fundamentally, I’m kind of a ‘substance over style’ type of person, and all the new Nu Trek stuff seems like all style and all amateurish storytelling retcon, no world building/lore substance.

I kind of feel like that if the writers can’t respect the lore and the world building in the Star Trek shows that came before them, and only doing them lip service later on when they’re desperate and pandering for viewership, then they’re not respectful of me or my viewing time, and hence not worth my effort to ‘engage’ (pardon the pun).

But I will keep an eye out for Strange New Worlds, and if I see an episode on cable/streaming service, I’ll check it out. I’ve seen some shorts on YouTube, and it peaked my interest a little bit.

Took season 3 of Picard for me to get it finally. 🤔🤯

For those of us who don’t watch the Nu Trek stuff, could you elaborate?

_{Anti Commercial-AI license (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0)}

I’m sorry if I made you feel that way.

I appreciate that, thank you for saying that. And no, it wasn’t you, its just been a ‘busy’ week for me here on Lemmy is all.

And TY for the education on join-lemmy.org.

I feel like you’re missing the point. Maybe I wasn’t clear. Yes, Lemmy World does use it, however it’s a feature of Lemmy itself, not just of Lemmy World. Lemmy World is just one instance of Lemmy and they all use the same markup.

My point is calling it the Lemmy.World markup is inaccurate and potentially misleading. Lemmy is more than just Lemmy.World.

I understand, but also, I was speaking directly to the link that exists in the Lemmy.World’s web-based editor, I have no access to any other web-based or otherwise editors from other servers.

If the Lemmy.World web-based editor is maintained by the Lemmy devs themselves, then it is a Lemmy editor, agreed.

I’m not aware either way though if it is/not, and I’ve been arguing with people that take any slight ambiguity from me as ammo to attack me with, so I was being very specific, based on my own personal use-case and the specific server URL of the link I was speaking of.

Right, so it’s a Lemmy thing, not a Lemmy world thing,

It’s a Lemmy World web client editor thing.
