Literally used to mean literally. It still does. It just used to a well.

That foot thing is an awful design IMO. Rather than a step-on to pull, it should be a design that allows you to flex your foot up and hook it under something to pull. The step-on kind necessarily requires you to put weight on it, letting off pressure on your other foot thereby causing instability. This can be difficult to manage for lighter people or on doors requiring a heavier pull force to open. The hook under kind would stabilize the person trying to open the door.

Edit: there have been some good arguments for why the step-on kind has advantages. Clearly the only answer is for bathrooms to have two doors. One with a step-on and one with a hook-under.

But realistically the hook-under could easily have a top portion allowing step-on utilization as well.

Thankfully Dick Cheney can no longer enter the chat.

Whoa! How'd you get a copy of Bondi's orders already?

You are referring to Olympic level mental gymnasts FYI.

Can't protect them too much, though. Otherwise, how would the pedo-in-chief and his ilk get a fresh crop of sex slaves?

OP can't pivot to a "no gifts" rule when prior gifts have been well received and did enrich OP's life.

I'd certainly argue he can pivot. He just can't expect adherence prior to voicing that opinion. I'd also mention that despite my personal "no gifts" rule, I've received gifts that were spectacular. With the rule in place it seems to force people to actually put thought into the gift rather than just trying to get somewhat close to my current interests and hobbies.

I have a pretty firm "just don't get me any presents" rule. It's taken some time to gain compliance with this rule. Similar to the shirt rule, I assume you gave some of those presents before being asked not to? Try the exact same approach that was used on you. Then you might have to reiterate it every once in a while.

I'd say anything that isn't a tangible move towards releasing them is distraction. So yes, just saying there's nothing to hide is a pathetic deflection. Especially from someone in a position to make some very large and meaningful progress on the release.

Couldn't imagine what a sub-basement would look like so I tried imagining the opposite. A dom-basement. I need some sleep.

Nah. I'm sure he knows he's in them. He probably just thought he could tell one of his sycophants to remove or redact his name like they could just do a "find all" and delete. He probably thinks his name has been scrubbed.
