the kind of respect that the right demands is the respect of an authority and superior. the maximum respect that the right gives is the respect of a human. but if you’re in the out-group then more is demanded of you and less is given. it’s very contradictory but also self-consistent because they truly feel superior, and truly feel you are subhuman. you don’t need to bow down to subhuman logic if you are of the superior species.

i do own that brush and i enjoy it. i had a cheap discounter (dm) electric toothbrush before this, and it’s a step up from that. although that discounter toothbrush remembered the last brushing mode when turning the brush back on, which this one doesn’t (which is not necessarily a bad thing either way, with the happybrush if you need a different brushing mode then you get muscle memory for pressing the button multiple times instead). as far as i know it’s compatible with philips brush heads, but don’t quote me on that. of course matching head aesthetics might also be important for you.
