Funny how one can get competent in another language (I’m assuming OP is a native German-speaker communicating in English), and it can actually make communication *more* difficult at a certain stage of the learning process.
I am not German, although I would consider that as compliment. I was just looking for an instance that
Works on both IPv4-only and more importantly IPv6-only networks (my ISP breaks stuff constantly)
Doesn’t block Tor so the Tor comrades can load my attachments
Has a proper privacy policy (Germans are most afraid of the GDPR)
It just so happened that this one in Germany meets all 3 requirements. It not being in the US is a bonus. I was on lemmy.today previously.
Just to clarify, English isn’t my native language either, but I am so online that I speak it better than my native and have to machine translate some terms back.
Ohhhh… hey, OP! 😅
I hope I didn’t offend you with my comment. (oof, I guess I didn’t, hopefully?)
It’s just that I couldn’t understand very well the logistics you described in terms of how to aim the shower nozzle towards one’s mouth. As in-- from the front or from the side? Or in some other way…
Your English is certainly good IMO, but at a certain point, it’s also common for a learned language to not be “up to scratch” in terms of certain precise communications. Again, I intend no insult or critique whatsoever.
For example, I can understand castellano & français, but I’m a complete mess trying to write or orate that way. If one of those is your native language, I’d be interested in hearing you describe the shower-head technique in your own language.

I hope this stock picture explains it enough
Oohhhhhh…!!
