Poop Away Spray
What we need is an aerosol or spray bottle that contains a spray that will dissolve or liquefy feces on contact.
When you take the huge poop in the toilet and it won’t flush down.
Or it is so sticky it glues itself to the side of the toilet bowl and leaves an ugly black lump behind that refuses to flush.
A quick spray.
*pst* *pst*
And that lump gets dissolved away and can be flushed.
Tailored weight loss programme
Speaking from personal experience, a visit to your tailor is more effective than a visit to your Doctor as a reinforced reminder that you need to lose weight.

Go waste your life somewhere else
I have noticed that people who protest something whilst it is convenient and safe and doesn’t require much effort don’t actually have much of an opinion, and rarely one that is their own, or defensible, or valid, on the subject.
What they want is to shout a lot until someone pays attention to them.
One day we will have a website where people congregate and do this as an alternative to television.
It will just be an endless stream of people’s unfounded opinions on politics, religion, sports teams, television shows and other shit that doesn’t matter.

I’m doing nothing else, studying wise, until this is completely done and clear.

Touch Typist
I do not understand why computer keyboards do not have braille markers on each key.
Not so that blind people can type, but so that sighted people will, just by dint of time elapsed and common usage, learn braille.
