When I was in public elementary school we had old textbooks and one of them was trying to talk shit about the Soviets by saying that their educational system was creating robotic, unemotional children who obeyed instructions unquestioningly. They juxtaposed a picture of Soviet students standing uniformly with a picture of American students all doing different things. I questioned it at the time and said if they took a picture of us doing the pledge it would look the same as the commies. I sound 100 years old but this was only 20 years ago.
Central air and garbage disposals are amazing and should be the norm

After juxtaposition with Soviets this one got me real confused, thinking what kind of central garbage disposal you meant? And air disposal? Surely you must’ve meant central (i.e. district) heating and garbage chutes? And I was like no you do not want these, only then I realized you referred to the things from previous comment.
Your garbage disposals are absolutely terrible. They offer a little convenience for the individual at a far greater, unseen cost than people realise (so, very American)
Central aircon isn’t uncommon in modern houses in my country, but it’s difficult to retrofit to hundred-year-old homes in the major cities
Why, because it fucks up the plumbing? I haven’t seen an issue with it and don’t shove huge amounts of food down it regularly. My least favorite household maintenance task is sticking my hand in the sink and picking up little scraps and gunk so I’m attached to mine.

What issues with garbage disposals have you seen?

At this point, I think FistingEnthusiast is just vibing. Pretty sure the hate for garbage disposals is 90% because they’re associated with the US.
I don’t think I want to know what else FistingEnthusiast vibes to lol
