But there was supposed to be a butt hose somewhere? I'm confused.

And no - those toilets had flush handles.

Fwiw in all of Latin America you basically throw your TP in a trash can (since the plumbing can't handle it).

I am assuming that when you say "talk therapy", you're talking about psychotherapy, the vast majority of which is verbal. I suppose there are some non verbal forms of psychotherapy, but that's generally not what people mean when they say "psychotherapy". Unless your meaning of "talk therapy" is something incredibly specific, you're wrong.

1. First of all, as you say, they "have only had a couple of classes", then you're clearly wrong, as a couple of classes, is clearly some formal training. The post I replied to asserted that they had none.

2. You're probably wrong about about the "couple of classes" thing anyway. They, if we're excluding medical school, essentially have zero classes. That's not how a residency training program works. It's essentially an apprenticeship that takes years. There is a board that certifies these training programs and they require training in psychotherapy to take place.

They also don't have "classes" on anything else. They don't have "classes" on how to prescribe psych meds, but it seems everyone would agree that they receive formal training on that.

3. It is entirely possible that psychiatrists are not very good at psychotherapy, in general, and inferior to psychologists. That's not the issue I'm talking about.

4. It is also possible that psychiatrists receive less training in psychotherapy than psychologists. Once again, that's not the issue. The issue is the moronic assertion that psychiatrists often have no formal training in psychotherapy.

So if I go to Thailand you guys are suggesting to just bring a couple roles of tp?

A coupla Barney Fife's and a Capt Kirk should do it.

It's definitely for flushing.

Hell no, embrace the bum gun.

Perhaps you should try to figure out a diet that does not produce Nutella excrement. That can't be good for you.

1. I mentioned psychotherapy

2. You're really getting into semantics when speaking to laymen. And being kind of a dick about it. You're usually very nice and cool so no big deal.

3. Based on several clinical therapists I've had conversations with psychiatrists are very raw when it comes to psychotherapy. They are not necessarily incompetent, but not the person I would go to if I was seeking help beyond meds. I have had both throughout the last 10 years of my life, and I would also personally agree with their opinion. They are medical doctors first and foremost.

4. Yes, they do have "classes " related to what one would refer to as talk therapy. They don't do much else after that and in my opinion his assertation they "have no formal training" is closer to true than them "maybe not being as knowledgeable " as a psychology when it comes to clinical therapy. Does it mean they are useless at it.

Edit: and didn't you basically ask for somebody's experience/opinion who is in the field? I said I'm far from an expert but I just threw in my 2 cents because I have been around it in a few different ways for quite a while. Take it or leave it. But no reason to be aggressive about it.

Cause of the derail I will add to the thread related to that topic:

A therapist is a great addition to my life and I believe everybody can benefit from therapy if you're able to find somebody you click with.

200k is not a lot of money but i re-use soiled toilet paper. suzzer

How everyone in the world, even the best people you know, are incredibly flawed and ****ed up individuals.

The human race is truly a disgrace.

I don't even understand what you're trying to argue about.

The guy said that psychiatrists often have no formal training in psychotherapy. That's not a semantic problem. It's just clearly false. Even you agree.

If he had said psychiatrists are worse at psychotherapy, which is what you're saying, that would have been fine. I've been pretty clear on that. That's a matter of opinion and not a factual claim.

Re edit: I was asking for someone who is actually a psychiatrist. If one of them comes along as says that psychiatrists often have no formal training in psychotherapy, then that would be news to me.

How is a bucket of water and a stick used for flushing??

You drink the water to stay hydrated while you beat the bathroom attendant with the stick to make him push the poopoo down the hole with his hands.

I presume when he says dipper on a stick he means a variation of this:

It's just a pan that you use to scoop up water from said bucket and pour it into the toilet to flush it.

Barbarians,



this will change your life

I'll stick with my Toto bidet washlet. The spray is built in, adjustable, plus warm toilet seats, dryer, etc. Don't think a manually sprayed hose is an improvement over cutting-edge toilet technology.

in highschool i wish i understood that acting confident is damn near the same as being confident to almost everyone.

Starting tomorrow I am going to be more confident. When wiping my ass.

Do tell

Kill your idols!!

If everyone were not f upped then they would cease to be humans
but I did hear some monkeys complaining about all the flawed gods ruling the earth.

Never used that so can’t say if it’s worth a grand over a spray gun but I can say with certainty that there is no going back to tp after u have used water.

You're ****ting in the kitchen sink, and calling others barbarians?

Wish I knew earlier that cooking can ve fun and women love if you can cook them a good meal.

Plus if you cook your own meals you don't have to use ingredients that give you nasty, ridiculous poops.

You guys do realize when there isn't a spray jet or TP, that the bucket + hand is used for wiping, right?

Why people never touch food or shake hands with their left hand in that part of the world. Although I want to know how you make a samosa with one hand.

between this and the use of sheets of tp

my gf chose to be an idiot for a while and lived in absolute ****hole in jamaica. their "house" had an outhouse, where they collected rainwater to dump in after, to flush. cause a toilet gives after x amount more pressure, so instead of needing running water (which they didnt have) the bucket would replace... most? of the dirty water. wasnt there but i can guess it was ****ty. pun intended.

they also charged money in public places after a few sheets of tp. now that i pay for it, she takes half a roll each time to pee. funny how i get blamed for bringing up how inefficient that is for a #1

Also you can flush a toilet by pouring a bucket of water into it. But it has to be fast and a lot of water. So I don't think a little scoop is gonna do it.
