I don't even piss standing up anymore

the correct solution.

    True power comes from not using the power.

    I can stand and piss... but for many reasons I prefer to sit.

    For me the algorithm is "if(wearing_glasses == True and is_brightly_lit == True): stand; else: sit".

    Your variables are already booleans, so you can just write:

    if wearing_glasses and is_brightly_lit

    The compiler/interpreter/etc will convert it to the most efficient implementation regardless of what you the human type. If you're used to the if [boolean] convention use that, if you're used to if [boolean] == true use that, it does not matter except to style commissars.

    Tbh, it's just easier and less messy. I don't gotta focus on aiming, and I don't have to worry about getting griped at for forgetting to put the seat down. Standing is really only a better option if you're in public and in a rush.

    Certain toilets are on the small size for my... equipment. And I periodically find my dongle touching porcelain. This also results in some backspray which is annoying to clean up.

    I've found it easier and less messy to piss standing. But I also got a fancy bidet for my wife's Christmas present years ago. It automates the whole task of opening and closing, does a bit of self-cleaning, and saves us a few bucks on toilet paper month-to-month. So its less of an issue.

    Sometimes I piss too hard or at the wrong angle or something while I'm having a big one while I'm also having a shit and it somehow escapes under the rim and I end up with piss all over the floor. The amount of piss from that Vs micro spray is incomparable.

    This is the exact problem I have with sitting to take a piss and, while I find it more comfortable, I’d prefer not to have to wash myself in the sink after every piss to feel clean again. Standing just cuts out the chance of getting that icy spicy porcelain all up on my wing wang.
