I assume many are US people, used to half-assed tanks depicted as dark and manly road killers, being upset that a "car" can mean in other places something colorful and able to park on a small town street without blocking it.

So "finally replying to constant attacks" gets redefined by putin as escalation, no surprise here. Or is there any other argument I'm missing?

Wait wait, you mean they despise flushing in general? Is every US house fitted with flush triggers? Or how else can you flush, if no button? You mean maybe those women are simply fine with the smell? You only managed to confuse me more :)

It reduces by not needing you take a whole shower to have a less gross asscrack. Although most of the solutions proposed below make me wish I never see a bidet again, at least I should remember to avoid them when traveling to said country.

So you mean, US women rather won't flush? How's that less gross? Or I'm misreading you?

At least in Switzerland it's like this: if you call directly the dermatologist (or just any medical specialist), they offer you a slot in 6 months. If you go over your house doctor (whatever the term is in your country) you get it in 1

Switzerland has usually a less than 50% turnout, for a comparison - and still gets brownie points for democracy. Yes, I'm sad myself, but I'll still take it over any other systems.

Now if we want to get into dirty details, no bureaucrat is ever elected. You elect the representatives, and they nominate in turn whoever bureaucrats they feel comfy to work with. Or is this in the UK different?
