I think it boils down to you need a lot of kids to run a farm due to the manual labor demands. You don't need a lot of kids to work in a factory or office.

I think his point in this case is you own the physical item but not the information on it. If not then I could buy some musician's cd then I could say "Now I own their music" and start selling copies of their cd, publishing it, stealing their rights to it, etc. I think we can all agree that would be bad.

Piracy by definition is stealing.

Future generations will blame you for everything also.

Hey, he is supporting the massive FL mansion and mega yacht industries.

Ah yes, you breathe through your gut. Even if it did provide oxygen you'd burn through it in a few minutes at most.

This is where some cultures got their thing about not using the left hand to shake or eat food with. The assumption is everyone cleans their butt with the left hand. Little do they know I'm a righty.

You left out the bow at the end.

They are butt showers.

You poop first in the toilet and if it was a messy one you use some paper (not all countries' pipes can handle paper though). Then you go to the bidet and clean there. Let the jet hit your hole and wiggle a bit if need be. Use some paper to dry off. Woman will also wash their privates with the bidet after peeing.

In India and China you also got a hose or just a hose in many places. That requires a bit more finesse due to the risk of giving yourself a shower if you don't aim well. You might even just get a cup which you fill and use to wash yourself manually. You need to carry some liquid soap and sanitizer when traveling in areas that might require this and keep your fingernails cut short. In remote areas it is a hole next to the animal pen and you bring your own paper.

I got a bidet attachment for my home during the pandemic due to the severe toilet paper hoarding that was going on.

And interest rates were a lot higher back then. No one had it "easy"

Often it is greed

The comments here should be good. All well thought out and reasonable. munching popcorn

Contrary to the perception of the US public China and India are still developing nations.

I never answer unless I recognize the caller. If it is important they can leave a voice mail.

On the plus side I no longer get the weekly call from the Chinese lady.

These are maggots that get laid in your skin specifically. Look up "bot flies"

Fungi do most of the rotting anyway.

0-255 was good enough for me an my grandpappy.

Seagulls are fine, it is people who leave trash out that create the problem

Ticks and botflies. We don't need maggots making a home in our skin. Even worse is what they do to animals like sheep.

Mosquitos are mainly an annoyance to me and I can deal with them.
