@BabyJune There are some people that can't walk by a reflection of themselves without looking / admiring, and do same with a compact mirror and/or the reflection on the rear of a steel toilet door. In a way, self admiration is a required human trait, but I do see and accept your points. However, I very rarely admire myself in a diaper... to me, a diaper on myself is just not that interesting as it can tend to ruin the perception of self. I do like the feeling of the diaper etc. I tend to admire / be envious of others wearing diapers not for them wearing the diaper, but the associated treatment that they are given - for example, a baby wearing a diaper is given unconditional love, something that most ABs, in my experience, are looking for.

On my own diapers, or on the baby look adult diapers (like rears etc where they are subtle like missing charachters or new charahters appearing) I really don't care about them, but from a medical perspective, I think that they are a marketing ploy that in care homes, some people take them as a need to change. I have often gone into a medical setting where my diapers are exposed for an exam etc where I am wearing only a diaper and socks., where my diapers could be slightly damp but the wetness indicators are screaming, and having to explain to some over protective nurse that the diaper does not need changing. Imagine the scenario, the diapers are damp and exposed (as normal since I dribble), and this young nurse / doctors assistant comes over to me and in a patronising manner, talking down to me as if I was a toddler / baby who needs a grown up to change diapers etc.. It is enough to make me cringe. They tend to run when I bark back at them OR the specialist comes in and talks to me at a level normally higher than their training. At certain doctors appointments, I tend, for fun, to wear the most babyish diaper I can find plus a toddler onesie etc, usually one from Rears etc. It is almost sadistic pleasure seeing these people mind explode as they percieve me to be an infant / person with mental disturbance and treat me as such until they hear the specialist and I converse. 😋 The real issue is that the wetness indicator on diapers were original put there to signify a diaper is wet enough to need changing, and for assistance in care homes with paitents. This created, in some care homes, a process where when the wetness indicator shows, the paitent should be changed. Following that process creation, manufactures increased the sensitivity of these wetness indicators to such an extent that in some diapers, they appear even if there is a little humidity in the air OR someone shows the diaper a picture of water. The reason - so that more diaper changes are envoked AND more diapers are bought / used. After all, urine is caustic and a person in a wet diaper will disolve into nothingness. <SARCASM. Isn't that the reason a baby diaper can last 12+ hours and said baby never have the wet feeling, cause a wet diaper will wake a sleeping baby <More Sarcasm

I'm old enough to have been the remote control 😝

You don't have to mention the pacifier, diapers, onesies, baby bottles, baby food, sippy cup, mobile, bed time stories, crib, cot, sleeper etc... it would take too long 🤪 and most medical professionals don't really care. After all, they are not going to baby you. I'd also suggest that you leave your plushie and pacifier at home, and unless you need the diapers, leave them at home also..... ROFL The medical issue that you may be concerned about is classed as PMD or Post Micturition Dribble. This is the release of urine after you have finished voiding, and where it effect males is they go to a bathroom, void, and after the replace their member and usally after they close up, a quantity of urine leaks out and wets their clothes. You can tell your urologist it from a medical or lay persons perspective - the urologist will understand. In relation to your training / baby behaviour, that does not have any effect on PMD as even a baby doesn't have PMD. PMD is a symptom where either a second squeeze of the bladder with the sphincters released OR constriction within the urethra. Urethral sphincters close again after voiding, and the closure should be water tight. If it is not, then there is a high chance of UTIs as infection can pass into the body via the urethra (tube in member). Voiding as a baby is not incontinence. This is the mistake a lot of people make. A baby is not incontinent as it has, from birth, full control over its voiding. This has been observered with newborn babies of multiple species - where the baby will not wet or mess on its mother (the person carrying it) and will signal to the mother of its need to void before voiding. Most human babies, from birth, are taught to use diapers. As a result, the baby will void in its diaper even if it is being held / caried by its mother. Incontinence correct definition is an uncontrolled release of urine and/or feeces. The key part of this is 'uncontrolled'. Every muscle in a body is controlled, so incontinence is technically impossible. However, control needs muscles and nerve signals. This is where incontince lies, where one and/or the other is disrupted either the muscle control, or the nerve impuse. Some incontinent members here have motor neuron issues, where they can't control the muscle directly and/or accurately enough to either open and/or close sphincters. As a result, the sphincter is in a state of flux where when the bladder fills to a level, the sphincter can open slightly to allow weepage. Others here have nerve issues where the signal of a filling bladder never reaches the brain for the impuse to be sent to void. As a result, bladder/bowels can overfill where the sphincters open due to pressure, or by the introduction of catheter or other device. There is a third process when bladder/bowels fill and the learnt behaviour of pre-toilet training takes over. This is partially part of the reflex process (where one moves a muscle based on an event that is short-circuited to the muscle drivers before the signal reaches the brain - e.g. one moves hand out of fire before feeling the pain of burning fingers etc) and partially part of the learned response. A baby learns to void in a diaper, and this behaviour becomes so common that the stretch sensors in the bladder that triggers the brain that it is filling is also connected to the motor drivers that relax the sphincter. There is a lot more triggers to a baby to void than pressuer/stretch sensors in bladder / bowels etc. As a result, there is more that one nerve pathway to trigger a person to void. A babys voiding triggers include :- smell of food taste of food being fed relaxing while falling asleep fear / shock standing or muscle excertion An adults trigger to void is stretch / pressure sensors, but damage to a nerve pathway and the body adapts to reuse what it already knows. This causes real issue where someone has severed nerves - and no nerve pathway between bladder/bowels and the brain. This is where the reflex action occurs only since same would normally be supressed by brain control. Some paitents past the age of 12mths to 2 years of age with severed spinal column regain the babinski reflex or even the earlier 'grabbing' reflex of hands and feet where opposite to the babisnki reflex, both hands and feet move to grab onto an item. This also closes the both anal and urinary sphincters where, in some, the babinski reflex will open both sphincters and trigger voiding. Similar 'opening sphincters' reflex can be triggered by wiping specific points on the babies/ spinal cord injury paitents rear. Parents of some mamals lick their babies bottoms to get them to void. Some adults will break wind in response to same stimulation - a throwback to the same reflex action.

I'd hope that I'd have that courage you have to walk in to a bathroom with a diaper in the open to change. I know that I don't, but really I should.

I have found, similar to your experience, that if you shut up and accept what a business does, they tend to go out of their way to rightly screw you. However, if you take the time, and similar to you, hours of your life trolling customer support plus plus, the company might go out of their way to do what is somewhat right. From a personal perspective, I find it devious and deceitful that companies behave like this, so when a company does that on me, although they recompense me somewhat, I have no love for said company and look around to find a better deal with their competitor. I have found that it is the larger companies that tend to take that attidude - and presume that their clients will take it. I am glad that you were recompensed in somewhat, but I am sorry that it took that effort. I suggest that as soon as your contract expires, you shift - and to remind yourself of this event (since most contracts last 12-18 months or longer and human memory tends to fade the details) that you send yourself a timed email / text today at the week / month of contract end of the full event and your experiences, so that you will remember to change to another service provider.

I love your attidude and strength - and I could guess that it was the bedwetting, and dealing with same that gave you that, but I am not saying that is the case with you but that is the case with most people that deal with something different in life - it either makes them weak and dependent where another overprotected them OR strong and independent where they deal with the issues themselves. That is why it is not a good idea to re-diaper a child post toilet training for night wetting and/or even use some form of pull-ups etc as it can infantalise the child. There is the opposite issue where a wet bed can disturb needed sleep so that can be addressed. Similar problems exist in what is classed as deprived / third world communities where, out of supposed kindness and support, money is given to these people to help. This creates a dependent society where the people in this demographic become reliant on the handouts. The axion of 'give a man a fish and he will eat today, teach a man to fish and he will eat for life' is apt. This is where most 'charities' worldwide fail - they presume that delivering food etc to a devistated area is helping. Actually it is not. What does help is the simple concept of sweeping and cleaning - so that these comunities can get their own act together and rebuild their lives. Most people in a devistated area not only loose their property, but also their place of work. They have the time now to rebuild their property and move on from there - where if they used actual money to pay a third party to do same, all they are going to do is get ripped off by profiteers - and these profiteers are being funded by charitable donations.

@~Brian~, can I send you a PM? I agree 100%. In relation to the over the knee spanking, I suspect that is the wishes of a lot of people here, but to do that on that person or someone similar would be extremely dangerous even if one could get away with it. The reason is the that people like this are self centered and self righeous. They would go out of their way to cause you etc enough problems that it is likely that an assault charge would be filed.

Use engine oil to stop engines squeaking.... and baby oil for similar 🤪

Then it seems that I misunderstood what you said, and replied accordingly. I also, in the post you quoted, based advice on the new information. It is also probably based on word positions in the sentance, as you aware, in German, enphasis is placed at the end of the sentance instead of the English trait of putting it first i.e., the phrase "nearly one and a half year before now" in English would read "nearly a year and a half ago", and for that, I apologize as English is not my native tounge either.

What I deduced would be usual with a person who bedwet past 7 years of age and where a parent would be diapering them, but I am happy that it didn't effect you that way as it has/does with many other people.

You are welcome Did your urologist use a cystoscope (camera etc that examines the interior bladder wall and urethra etc.?) as a 800ml bladder capacity is realitively high - or would that size relate to your living/work history? Normal adult bladder capacity is 300ml to 500ml, and can stretch to 800ml depending on paitent behaviour and work environment - i.e. long distance driver etc where voiding frequency is reduced over work hours to suit job. It is not advisabe to do same as in later life, due to deteriotation of relevant muscles combined with slowing of reactions (can't run to bathroom) etc., 800+ml voiding at a time usually overwhelms most available protections. Yes, diapers are made to contain up to 2000+ml, but not in 800ml blocks at a time. Also, diapers of that capacity are usually very thick and restrictive to motion - which can increase trip / fall hazard with the wearer. The combination is a complication that is best avoided. That contradicts what you stated re the measurment of your bladder capacity ... ... that calculates to a bladder capacity of 800ml. The rest of my advice that I mentioned earlier was all based on that calculation, but your urologist has stated that you have a small bladder which s/he identifies as the reason that you need to void multiple times overnight. If in fact that you DO have a small bladder - due to training / shrinkage, and I have no reason to doubt you or contradict your urologist, then the 20-40ml daytime voiding may not be overflow, but instead a reflex response to training where your bladder signals a need to void with only 20-40ml content, where when you are asleep, this signal is not enough to wake you so you continue to fill the bladder until it reaches the true capacity, or shortly before it. This identifies a different issue - you have trained your bladder to signal a need to void at 20-40ml, where it does that daytime reguardless of if you wear a diaper or not. This daytime behaviour is similar to what you did before you were toilet trained, so I would suspect that shortly you will start to do same overnight if you are not already doing it somewhat. I suspect, that although you didn't think that it is important, that overnight you do have some bladder leakage, and although you do not want night time issues / bed wetting, I think that the route is already set where you will end up bedwetting at the same frequency as you wet during the day. It will prob. start when you indulge in alcohol etc., but unless daytime control is regained, you are destined to end up in diapers overnight. After all, the body really doesn't care where the hands on a clock are!

Medical definition of incontince is a wierd one, as its definition is used incorrectly by everyone from a junior administrator in insurance to senior medical practioners, where each use is intended to mean something else. All forms of bladder/bowel loss that is unexpected is something to be concerned about, as bladder/bowel loss is normally a symptom of something more series. Therefore, since it is a symptom, symtoms have been known to get worse unless the original issue is addressed - as a result, I'd advise you to consult with a medical professional if only to rule out any possible issues.

If you are post mitricration dribbling, and have what is termed as overflow incontinence, I suggest that you see a specialist / doctor not before gets worse, but before it causes permanant kidney/bladder damage as usually any form of incontinence is a symptom of a hidden larger issue. Those who train diaper dependance to void low volumes at high frequency without prior notice i.e. similar behaviour as a baby is the rare behaviour that is not caused by hidden larger issues.

You are more than welcome. that is approx 800ml, which is almost twice the average adult capacity, however, you don't get signals until it is close to full with an extreme urgency. The extreme urgency is part of self-protection mechanism since that volume is causing reverse pressure on your kidneys and needs to empty or burst. The post void dribbling identifies that the bladder does not fully empty, which is understandable since I suspect that the muscular bag that is the bladder in you has been overstretched - and the overstretched part of the bladder is damaged muscle that can't constrict similar to the rest of the bladder nor can it sense urine being placed in the bladder. It also could be that you trained yourself to ignore bladder signals similar to a long distance truck driver, and thus increased your bladder size, but that would not create the partial emptying that you have. I suspect that you are a little overweight - as that would explain why you need to void overnight multiple times as when you lay down, the bladder is being partially squashed and thus reducing its capacity. Adding your age into the equation, that places you roughly middle age, which does not correspond with behaviour modification to alter bladder size unless this was done during childhood or as a result of an accident, as that type of differences to the bladder is extremely rare as a birth defect. Your age suggests that you were toilet trained circa at 18 months, the average for that generation, which would not cause this type of bladder size difference. This suggests, since you void every 20-40 minutes, that your bladder is overfilling and therefore emptying what is being overfilled, but I'd expect the volumn to be close to 30-50ml every 20-40 mins, rather than 700ml+ every 20-40mins, as if you are voiding that amount every 20-40 mins, I would suggest that you go to a doctor to check your blood and kidneys. I'd still advise you to go to a doctor to address your restrictive voiding as you are keeping a quantity of urine in your bladder which can lead to complications such as urinary tract and kidney infections.

Unfortunately, due to whatever you wish to call it or deny it exists, global warming etc, the world weather patterns are in the process of change which results in futher extremes of weather on both sides - i.e. hotter summers, colder winters, wetter / more agressive rain etc. It is part of the planet trying to find a balance, and since the summer (in the northern hemisphere) was hotter by a percentage, the winter will be colder by the same percentage - that if the word is in balance, however it is not, so winter will be colder by a greater percentage and the following summer will be hotter by a greater percentage, and this and this trend will continue until an equalibrium is reached. Over the past few years, summers were extreme in areas as compared to usual, and winters have been colder. In places of rain, they have been heavier but when compared to the previous years values, they are 1-5% different ie hotter / colder / wetter. The reasons for this change is basically polution - from burning ALL carbon containing products - i.e paper, wood, coal, oil, plastic, gas in all forms as doing so bonds chemically hydrogen and similar gases to carbon which allows same to rise high into the ionosphere. This does three things, it blocks certain elements of sunlight which increases its ultra-violet strength the carbon chemicals mix with rain where the water increases its acidity. the ioniosphere lets less heat out similar to the behaviour of glass in a greenhouse which increases temprature in certain areas of the world. These actions, due to increased thermal differences, amplifies the effect of the local weather events. Although the populus world belief is that mankind has not done enough damage to make this irreversable, the scientific community disagrees and believes that it will take a lot of time before 'mother nature' finds a balance, and using historical comparisons of weather instability, predict that the weather changes will continue to exagerate until we get a partial ice age again.

I thought that the question might have came from a stranger or a work associate or a person in a retail store that did / didn't sell diapers - i.e. from someone who is just being nosey. There is a totally different experience when dealing in medial supply / incontince shops etc - and I have NEVER got anyone there asking do I wear diapers. I presume that it is from their own experience and training - i.e. not to ask the customer and/or they recognise the diaper shape etc even though it is under clothes etc due to knowing what to look for in a person's body shape. In simple terms, your choice of underwear is nobodies business except your own. Some doctors (not ones dealing with my diaper dependance) have asked me if I am wearing a diaper, and I have asked them (actually a dentist asked), what has my choice of underwear got to do with my teeth or mouth, or is there a new dental procedure that you intend to perform on me that involves my butt? The dentist went red, apologised and then told me that he knows of no procedure or has the equipment that involves my butt. I personally believe that my choice of underwear is private and nobodies business. Even most of my doctors, although some know (but it is usually their nurses that know), never bring up the subject as I try to not enter a doctors office with a soaked diaper - it might be damp as I have just changed it in during the time I was waiting, but never soaked and/or messy.

Night time voiding is about two linked items, ones confidence in that wetting will not wake you / make you cold the amount of vasopressin (an ADH chemical that restricts elements in the kidneys and therefore, reduces the amount of liquid being placed in the bladder) being produced. This quantity is reactive - i.e. there is a sensor that measures its quantity in the blood and if that is lower than what was determined to be the value required to keep you from needing to wake, the value will be increased. You can't directly control vasopressin levels, but can influnce it by addressing the self confidence. This is done by, in as much as possible, repeat the scenario you were in as a baby, but over exagerate it. Sound, smell, feelings are excelent memory triggers - and you want your mind to believe that you still are a baby where you wet your diapers without recourse. So, thick cloth diapers, noisy plastic pants, noisy plastic sheet under the bed sheets, reeking of baby powder, and if you had a mobile as a baby, replay the sounds of same at a low volumn in your bedroom. Getting thickly *(waddle thick) diapered 1-2 hours before bed is ideal as you will be getting into bed in a already damp diaper, but you really should not feel that in your conscious mind. This shoud convince your mind that even a wet diaper does not disturb your sleep, so the first night, your bladder will release a little bit before waking you - what you should do is contine to wet without moving - after all, you trust your diaper and it is thick enough to cope with way over what you would put in it. The second night repeating this process, you will wake up, but you will be half asleep while you wet. The third and forth night, you might not even wake. After a week or so of this, you will not be waking up until the morning, and you should find that you are soaking your diaper. The actual time line identified is different per person, but is only controlled by how much you trust your diapers - and nothing else. This process will work faster or slower, but does work and has worked for many members here and elsewhere. It also effects the vasopressin production AND accordingly, the bladder size but that takes time. It is not until the bladder volumn had reduced to mean that you are voiding every 20-45 mins should you reduce the size of the night time diaper - as you need the capacity not only to cover you overnight, but to also remove any posibility of leaks overnight - as all it takes is one leak to reset your mind back to the beginning. In relation to shrinking the bladder, if it is a side effect of voiding multiple times without notice, that is the ideal situation. However, if it is the side effect of you focusing on the bladder to keep it as empty as possible - that is a problem as the focusing is what a baby being toilet trained did - until it eventually learned to control same. You need to avoid 'knowing' that you need to void - and to just void as needed. This removes the alarm trigger to wake, and due to you waking 3 times a night, that gives your bladder capacity roughly 400ml but with the urgency alarm set at 150ml. Yes, you could last all night not waking, but your body has learnt to wake you at 150 and not let you sleep. If you convince your body with a thick multi layer cloth diaper that your diaper doesn't leak, the body very quickly reverts to voiding the 150 ml three times a night without waking you, which will increase in frequency while decreasing in volumn - i.e. 30-60ml every 20-40 minutes (similar voiding volumn and frequency of daytime). In your specific case, your bladder might have shrunk to about 130 - 200ml since that is roughly the volume you void three times a night based on the common 400-600ml urine production overnight an adult produces.

@cathdiap thank you for reposting this excerpt from the harvard medical file, where it explains a concept that is foreign to a lot of naysayers here. The concept is that the bladder can be taught to grow OR shrink based on how one uses it. The second, and more important concept is that because one is teaching the bladder to void earlier, the bodies alarm system will grow used to that level and inform the person of the need earlier and earlier. In my humble belief, that is what @Hannah YMS and others are doing, teaching their bladder to void earlier and earlier. They have stated that in diapers they wet *almost by reflex, but out of diapers they are uncomfortable, but still have bladder control. As a result, all they have done is decreased the level of when their bladder needs to empty without addressing, in any form, the alarm system OR the reason for the alarm. When I said that on this post and others, all I get is abuse, arguments etc. When another member stated that they 'think' that their bladder capacity might have reduced, and is in the medical feild, and I ask them to actually measure it (that for most needs a little thinking, but for someone in the medical training, it should be second nature to be able to measure the volume of a liquid!) he gets annoyed. I think that if someone is attempting to complete a task, as a way to calculate progress, one must be able to measure same, even roughly as a comparison to how far one has reached on said task. To measure bladder capacity, all one need is a plastic measuring jug, and some time. Go to a bathroom, sit on a diaper on the toilet and place ones item into the measuring jug. If they are voiding approx every hour in a diaper, they should not need to wait long to void into said jug. Read the quantity of liquid in said jug and note the value. Repeat the process every few days. An average adult will be triggered to void at circa 400ml. A baby wets every 20-45 minutes and does it as easily as coughing / breathing - as it is reacting to the need to void OR voiding by gravity. I have explained the reason in other posts, but most self convinced people here don't want to listen - as they think that everything they do is correct, and since what I am saying is different, I must be wrong. After all, I am a conspirary theorist of the worst kind - and these are the same people that believe that to learn something, i.e. by rote, they have to repeat it a number of times for the mind to store it - after all, that is what they did in school to learn a poem etc. Today, approx 10 years later, none of them could repeat any of the poems that they though that they learnt by rote - they forgot it. It is a concept that is hammered all the way through education - do and repeat, and repeat and you will get better. Well, the human mind is far better than that stupid way of thinking, and is capable of adapting faster than most people can think - but for it to do same, it has to fully trust the scenario - which none of the 'try this and see if it works' people can even accept never mind understand. It is one of the reasons a babies mind can absorb information and learn so fast as opposed to most adults in general. There is an axiom in life, that came from an advertisement - "before you make up your mind, open it" which is very apt in most situation in life. At this stage, I don't really care if people don't agree with me here - what I state has been proven by other ABs on other posts, not only here but on other ABDL sites, so at this stage, believe what you will - I am tired of repeating myself and hearing the same weak arguments against it. Hopefully maturity will teach these people, but I doubt it - they may be so set in their ways that they will still be trying to get a different result by repeating the same flawed process at age 70+.

Even if I wasn't incontinent, it is people like this that make me cringe and not want to be part of the human race. Although I understand that there are millions of people that do, what I would class as wierd, and something that I wouldn't do, but these people respect themselves and others to do that in the privacy of their own place. The concept of exibitionism, where the lines of normality are crossed, but even that is done on the edge of privacy where if there is any chance of public exposure, actions can be taken to place it behind closed doors. Even then, if it is filmed, the people are smart enough not to show their face - as they value their privacy. Doing this in an area that is frequented by public, with items that may or not belong to the company, did he not realise that, even if this is fake, the company will find out and, if he was an employee, he no longer is. Secondly, the company will go out of their way to ensure that this person at least, spends some time in jail. The company that he is toying with is a $32+ billion company, so unless he is a multi-billionaire, there is no way he is getting out off this one - he IS going to jail. That is why people make me cringe - I would presume that they understand cause and effect - yet they do things for whatever reason that will end up with them being put in jail with a label on them for life as a sexual offender... all for a few minutes of fame and maybe a thrill, that after a time in jail and a public record for life, they might understand that it really wasn't worth it. Even if the video goes viral, the maximum that was ever made on a viral video is $1+ million, and even if he gets that money, it will be going on his legal defence and in compensation to Starbucks. He will be lucky to own anything, even his own hole, after coming out of prison, cause people like this are fodder for some prisoners.

@KPAXOR1987 In the video, shadows appear on the styrofoam cups as he is moving, the same cups that you state is from blue/green screen. Also, shadows also appear across the rectangular napkin holder in the far background, the same one that is holding at least one Starbucks napkin. In relation to the sink, yes it is possible that it is in his own kitchen, but who has a sink except a comercial wash premises, that is deep enough to contain a 16" tall container standing up as that is the way he puts it in the sink. You stated that the sink is part of a Starbucks kitchen and that the person is moving from his kitchen in one video sequence to possibly a Starbucks kitchen in the second sequence, but this seems unlikely with specific shadows altering reflections of devices in what you have identified as not part of his kitchen and/or the sink as being part of his kitchen due to the flow off the counter and the placement of items one would normally relate to being a workstation - maybe Starbucks, maybe elsewhere. Starbucks, in certain versions, use four sizes of Styrofoam cups plus two to three sizes of clear plastic cups as they also serve hot and iced drinks. In the video, there are the four sizes of Styrofoam cups in cup dispensers, plus multiple sizes of clear plastic cups also in cup dispensers. There is also a number of other items in the rear common with an industrial kitchen such as two large bins, but these are located under the sink, the same sink that has been identified as being in his kitchen. The primary light source is from a high intensity ring light attached to the camera. The whole scene is similar to the layout of a coffee / food resturant that would be in an airport / mall, where this work area is centered in a larger room that is lit by downlighters etc. Looking at the quantity of downlighters that are switched on as compared to the level of light in the rest of the restaurant, it seems that a lot of them are switched off. As a result, one would see this as being either midday or where the restaurant would be empty and shut. Since the light level outside the window would seem to indicate afternoon, added to the lights in the restaurant being closed, the location of this Starbucks would dictate that there primary market would be early morning OR it is in a smalll local airfield that at the time of recording would be closed. To All: Even if this video is false, the link has been created between ABDL, diaper wearers, disabled, fetishs and fetishism and Starbucks where the effects from it are real. If you doubt abut how strong a belief is, have a look at religion - its whole story is based on nothing that can be proved scientifically yet there are people over 2000 years later that will sacrifice their life for that belief - as a result, I never doubt the drive behind blind belief and public perception.

The problem with recording / playing back video information is that, as compared to audio tape process, there is much more information needed to be stored in same media. The first ideas of video recording/playing was to use a tape running at up to ten to twenty times as fast as an audio tape. These systems allowed up to 8 minutes recording on a tape machine. JVC used the concept of recording/playing diagonally across the width of the tape instead of along the lenght of the tape. This process works when the recording/playing head is spinning across the width of the tape instead of fixed and just allowing the tape to move across a head. As a result, the video tape is threaded past a stationary erase head, a spinning drum that contains multiple record/play heads for video information, and a stationary audio record/playback head. To keep the tape speed and head tracking, there is also a pinch wheel that is driven at a set speed. The problem with this system is that if the tape is in any way damp, it can stick to the fast moving drum and then get wrapped up on the threading mechanism. In an audio system, this failure can exist when dirt builds up on the pinch wheel that pulls the tape across the audio heads, thus the tape sticks and wraps up around said pinch wheel. What has been improved which addressed the issues of damp tapes and the relevant jams was the improvement in home insulation. I know, improvement in home insulation was not originally designed to effect video recorders, but progress in one area is commonly known to effect the world as a whole as well as restrictions of progress is also restrictions in the whole world. The oil industry, over the past 200 odd years, have systematically restricted the progress in vehicular travel which created the dependancy on oil for everyone in the world. It is only realitivly recently that mankind has discovered the costs of this dependancy - in polution etc., and are attempting to address same. However, the world is figthing an industry that in a way, owns every other industry, so although change will occur, it will need a step backwards in order to move forwards. Consider plastics, a subsidary of the oil industry, we need to remove our plastic usage and revert to materials before plastics existed to be able to move forward from that - ie wood, bakelite, pressed steel, aluminum etc - materials that can be used, and then reformed to become new versions of the same item - something that plastics fail at / is not cost effective to do as it is cheaper and more reliable to use virgin plastic than recycled plastic. In relation to travel, every fixed journey run should be converted to electric (from above lines) - i.e. trains / trams / busses etc., as well as delivery routes for commercial vehicles such as trucks etc. In relation to cars / personal transit, the electric car is an option, but its development is only in its infancy today that needs a few thousand iterations to become anyway close to the ICE equivilant. Not saying that the electric car does / does not have a position in the modern world, just saying that the electric car is NOT a solution as it stands. In relation to air travel, answers have been provided when aircraft couldn't fly etc., but that is not a solution to the problems with air travel. Polution is one of the major costs in that industry that is not really being addressed. If we think outside the box and create a worldwide transport system that operates on the same speed as air travel without needing to leave the earth, that might be a solution. Since air routes are essencially roads in the sky, same routes can be tunnelled underground where the vehicle that transports are an electric underground train. Yes, it will be a large cost to change to underground routes, but once a route is established, its running cost is miniscule as compared to fuel costs. As is its level of safety. An underground train does not fall thousands of feet if it stops. Also, trains are very rarely on the same track going head on etc. As compared to air travel, it is thousand of times less risky.

Yes, police reverted originally to Cell Phones for security, and then to digital radio, and the security in these exist following a technology invented in 1896. If you have ever heard of the concept of hetrodyning, you would understand how Hedy Lamar created the concept in 1940s by mimicing the way player pianos of 1896 tracked and played music. Hetrodyning is the concept of constantly switching the carrier frequency or the encoding key in signals. For that process to work, both the transmitter plus the reciever needs to 'know' what is the next frequency to switch to. In the 1940s, both devices had a copy of the list of instructions, similar to a piano roll, and all they needed to do is syncronise the change so both were always transmitting/recieving on the same frequency. This concept was employed to control 'smart' missiles as to avoid the enemy cracking the code and redirecting a missile in flight back at who fired same. With the release of mobile phones, and the limited available of frequencies, in order to get maximum use of the available frequencies, hetrodyining was employed as standard. This stops another device like a radio reciever staying locked on the frequency of the phones since the radio is tuned to one frequency and the phone keeps switching to another. As a result, it is understandable that police use cell phones for secure transmission instead of fixed frequency radios. BTW, police started originally using codes over the open frequencies first, but now, most people know what the police (and others) codes are. I find it extremly interesting how an invention today is so dependent on prior events, and how far back in history the dependency exists. For example, a computer today goes all the way back to 1700s and the Spinning Jenny card programmable weaving machine - and how the concept of making a device thats behavior could be changed by changing its instruction set. It is what drives the world, the constanly changing goals we call progress as compared to certain peoples rigid belief in a concept which they attempt to stagenate progress - all for self gain and the futility of increasing ones wealth - and if one examined that concept, using the example of each person had a container that contains coins, and each person focused on increasing their own quantity of coins, all it does is increase every persons quantity of coins equally. It therefore devalues each coin's purchasing power. As a result, the goal of increasing ones own wealth is counter-productive and all it does is decrease the value of each individual unit of wealth. This brings me to the axiom and misquote of Albert Einstien - Insanity is repeating the same process expecting a different result which links to working hard/smart to increase ones wealth so that one doesn't need to work is a typical application of insanity. The concept of working to improve self-skils / world progress rather than for money is a much better goal, in my humble opinion, which places a number of skillsets/jobs in the hands of the insane / idiot and also shows how insane the concept of the aquisition of wealth / capitalism is, and how contary it is to human advancement. It can be said that every capitalist is a cost to humanity.

Yes, it it true that the more one 'holds' the bladder, the larger it can grow. This is part of how the body adapts - i.e. it gets used to a feeling of a full bladder so it doesn't signal the need as an urgency. The reverse can happen, if one releases more frequently, the bladder gets used to emptying more often so it signals the need earlier and earlier. However, this creates a problem for those who wish to revert to diaper dependancy. Yes, one will need to wear a diaper due to the decreased time between voiding and the usual associated urgency, however, each time they void they will be fully aware of it. Overnight, similar will occur where the need to void will wake same person. Although for some, this is enough, but the associated need to wake to void will also disrupt any quality of life that may exist. I'd predict that a person following that behaviour will eventually be dependent on diaper that they wet every 30-45 mins, where they are asleep / partially awake while their bladder fills, fully awake to void, and then revert to be partially awake / asleep for the next 30-45 mins on a continual basis. This will remove ones ability to take care of oneself in any form, and would, in my opinion, be hell on earth. Now we address the actual goal of members here - to revert to the voiding frequency of a baby combined with ignoring the event plus forgetting that they wet - the key goal of most ABs - without removing any quality of life and/or ability of the person to function in society. This happens with a baby (although a baby does not usually function in society as an addition, but does interact with elements in society) due to two reasons - the baby has been taught to do this plus a baby does not know about an alternative. As a result, a baby does this awake or asleep as it has never been taught that needing to void is something to be alarmed about - something that is deep within the adult mind, something that needs to be 'unlearnt'. Otherwise, the effect of the alarm will be all that the adult will be dealing with. Yes, there is a line of though that repeating behaviour is ignored, but this repeating alarm is designed to wake the individual - which due to the frequency being 30-45 mins, this means that the adult is awake once an hour every hour which stops the adult entering REM sleep which will eventually kill the person due to severe exhaustion. So yes, that process will work where you might wet while asleep, but the associated costs involved is something I'd advise against. The way to unlearn the alarm process is to address the reason one is alarmed about voiding - when a baby is being toilet trained, what is first done is to remove the security the baby has with its diapers. This is done by creating the situation so that the baby is uncomfortable when it wets. This is done by placing the baby in single layer cloth underwear or training pants. As a result, the baby gets almost instant feedback that it is wet, which makes it cold nd due to this being a shock to the system, the baby reacts by crying. This is repeated time and time again, so the baby learns that every time it needs to wet, the corresponding event of it being cold and wet will occur - a feeling it doesn't like. The next step in training is to introduce the baby to the potty. This becomes and autonomic response for the baby, to go to the potty everytime it needs to wet as a soloution to prevent a future event of being wet and cold. Because the baby is now focusing on the signals within its bladder, and reacting to same, this becomes aquired knowledge - which is built on overnight. There will be times when the babies focus is elsewhere and said baby will wet, but since the result is so strong, it enforces the memory event and the baby learns to control its bladder day and night. This is the situation that most toilet trained people face, they do not trust enough that the diapers that they are wearing will prevent the effect of them feeling cold and wet - and since that memory is extremly strong in their memory (it was what drove them to toilet train, and is also associated with the feeling of wearing a diaper and early childhood) this tends to force the mind to fully focus on the filling of the bladder which is contary to the goal of most people here. As a result, one needs to relearn to fully trust their diapers as they did as a baby - actually a baby doesn't know that they trusted their diapers - they trusted the people around them to keep them dry and comfortable as the baby was never put in a situation prior to being toilet trained where they were not wrapped in a comfortable environment. The baby also reacts to all events without question - and that includes the feelings of bladder and bowels. Another behaviour which is sometimes forgot is that a baby relaxes all muscles when it does not need to use them, including those within bladder and bowels - as it has not learnt to hold same. There never was a reason for it to keep muscles etc in a position. As a result, when material is placed within its bladder and/or bowels, and as its sphincters are in a semi-relaxed state, the relevant bladder and bowels rarely used to expand (unless some reason triggered it to close same) so the need to void was rare, but the baby still weeped urine / feces into its diapers OR forced same from the result of other triggers. For a toilet trained individual to 'relearn' the same behaviour, one has to recreate the same environment in as much as possible. The problem with an adult mind is that it knows to watch for the bladder / bowels expanding and this is an alarm. Any behaviour that doesn't effect this alarm process is futile in attaining the goal of 'unknown' diaper filling. I suggest that one does the following:- recreate the environment - thick diapers, limited to zero feedback, no chance of leaks, associated infatile behaviour of bottles, recreate the sounds (plastic russle) and smells (baby powder) of babyhood. The mind, since it is always learning, will learn the response from wetting said diaper - there will be no effect to the wet diaper - but since the mind is more accurate that what it reports to you, it will try a little and keep increasing quantity until it is fully convinced that the environment will not cause the 'cold and wet' feeling it is trying to avoid. This has a secondry effect - it removes the reason for the alarm of a filling bladder / bowels. As a result, the mind will adapt to the new situation of wetting / messing without informing you since it no longer is needed. This behaviour is so similar to the baby method of voiding, the mind will paralell this new behaviour with what it already knows and trusts, which will mean that the body will repeat said behaviour of partially to fully relaxing all its muscles unless it is using same. This is a conservation of energy process, which matches what the mind wants. Because of the partial to complete relaxion of muscles including sphincters, the need for bladder / bowel to expand is removed. This has the secondary effect of bladder / bowel shrinkage and eventual athrophy of these muscles, which also increases the frequency of voiding but also decreases each volumn. Since the bladder and bowels have athropied, this becomes an unreversable process. Any other process, ie focusing on bladder/bowel content and focusing on release although might increase ones frequency and decrease volumn, it does not address the alarm process. As a result, in obtaining the goal of diaper dependance similar to a baby, all it addresses is diaper dependance, but does not improve ones standard of life - and that type of concept of addressing an issue without addressing and/or improving ones quality of life is a common behaviour of the medical industry. Quality of life is usually dismissed in favour, in the medical industry, of profit generation., and that, many people here have experienced first hand.
