I like your ranting and snarking, Tim. It's fine. We all have these kind of days!
Just a little note on the German word you chose for the title of this piece. While your description of the word's literal meaning is absolutely correct, it's mostly used as a derogatory term by conservative machos to make very clear they're definitely not one of those 'feminine' guys... In their world, it's probably close to being 'stinky left/green-voting' ('linksgrün versifft'). I have rarely heard anyone use it in a different, positive framing, like you did here – but then again, agree, let's just own this. Yes, I am a Sitzpinkler too.
We all need to rant from time to time! And let me tell you, smoking isn't cool and it's bad for you and your voice! Sorry to sound like a mother, I just hate the smoke!
