It's impossible not to see them as storm troopers in literally every way

Yes. And the second best time is now.

Still ought to be discounted since it's eliminating jobs.

Oh man, I envy your opinion of other people. Hold onto that as long as you can.

You're probably right, but you'd have to make it to court. Not everyone does..

Don't do it if you're trying to date your sister.

Try to look at it from the perspective of the person you're talking to. Nobody wants to make a fool of themselves, and assuming someone is interested (without evidence) is a great way for someone to become very embarrassed. Flirting is how you subtly let a person know it's safe to suppose you might be into them and proceed accordingly. Conversations and invitations that are completely devoid of flirtation will instead tell them that you're just being polite or friendly.

So it's important!

The phrase came originally from Wayne's World, which was first an SNL sketch, yeah. Bill & Ted aren't from SNL, though, and predate Wayne and Garth by a good bit. Bill & Ted said "party on," among other things, but not "party time, excellent." That's specifically the Wayne's World theme song iirc.

Legally integrated, but I wouldn't say fully. Source: living in the South.

Not to promote violence, but I'm afraid nothing is likely to change until people are pushed far enough to do more than hope.

Wtf is "redneck agenda," the farmers almanac?

The highlighted section of that link reads as follows:

The research found that putting the toilet lid down reduced the number of both visible and smaller droplets during and after flushing by 30-60%. However, use of the lid also increased the diameter and concentration of the bacteria in these droplets.

The article doesn't indicate whether the total bacteria contained in the now larger and more concentrated droplets is thought to be comparable to that contained in the full spray of open-lid droplets, which means a precise comparison isn't available, so technically I guess it could go either way. However, common sense tells us that many of those microorganisms will either get stuck to the underside of the lid or fall back into the water, so it seems nearly impossible that closed-lid flushing could spray 100% of the microorganisms that open-lid flushing does, right? So if the best (seemingly unlikely) scenario for open-lid flushing is that maybe it only sprays the exact same number of farticles into the air, then what's the appeal?
