Is going to court over traffic violations common internationally? I thought that was a US thing

- Comment on Female-to-male rape, (how) does it happen without roofies? 1 week ago:
It can also happen after you consent to SOME intimate acts, but not others, and the other person can take you by surprise. (That one has happened to me, im not male though)
- Comment on Female-to-male rape, (how) does it happen without roofies? 1 week ago:
Power over another person, the prerequisite for most sexual violence, doesn’t have to come from superior physical strength. It could come from an age difference, a professor-student or boss-employee dynamic, or some form of blackmail, for example. And the body can experience physical arousal in response to the right stimuli even when you don’t want to have sex. You can also do acts of sexual violence that do not require an erect penis.
- Comment on non vegan pizza time 1 week ago:
Think about dairy what you will, but ‘I didn’t do it, I paid someone else to do it’ is never a very solid argument in a debate on ethics.
- Comment on non vegan pizza time 1 week ago:
Im sorry, but what kind of mammal biology are you talking about that says that two different types of milk come from the same animal?
Also, milk production usually does go down somewhat over time and sometimes even does cease, and it’s different for every individual, which makes it less predictable and less profitable to just impregnate a cow once. This is why dairy farmers almost always try to impregnate their cows yearly. Here’s one source, there’s plenty more coming up if you look it up on a search engine though www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/farm/…/farming

I chatted to someone on the train once who told me she got addicted to the habit of drinking water and was hospitalized for a month or so because she basically flushed out all of her electrolytes and was deficient in everything. She said she was at 5-6L though.

Ah yeah I didn’t remember that since reading, thanks

Out of curiosity, what autoimmune diseases are prevented by veganism? I’ve never heard of that before (vegan btw)

You mean like these weaklings?
- Comment on Anon tells their life story 4 weeks ago:
That’s the extreme, sure. But everyone has a different amount of risk that they’re willing to take in order to break up the boredom. For some, the line is putting yourself out there and risking embarrassment, for some it’s motorcycling, for some it’s alcohol/other drugs, for some it’s wing suits. But some amount of something bad happening is usually worth it if the alternative is nothing at all happening.
- Comment on Cursed Milk 1 month ago:
Very little tho. And it’s what they said as well as a common belief
- Comment on Cursed Milk 1 month ago:
That’s not how they make fizzy drinks, they directly add the CO2. The acid thing is a myth, you’d just get very sour and weird tasting water with the slightest bit of gas since that process is too slow to be viable for this use.

Thanks for the tip, I’ll look into it! I’m really grateful to have this new thing to look into, as physio didn’t help much
- Comment on don't tell iceland 2 months ago:
What do you think happens to dairy cows after their milk production declines? Or their male calves?
- Comment on He's got a point 2 months ago:
Tbf the combination can be worst. During COVID lockdowns I’d spend all waking hours either coding or hand writing for uni, hand writing to teach online, or gaming. Sometimes I’d crochet. I have chronic painful tendinitis now.
- Comment on Malaria 3 months ago:
Hardly anyone is all good or all bad. But with any billionaire ever, the bad will always outweigh the good because of what monumental injustice was necessary to collect a billion dollars.
- Comment on Malaria 3 months ago:
The reason is that there just isn’t an ethical way to accrue a billion dollars. Stealing from workers labour is an inherent part of becoming a billionaire. Plus, usually some other exploitation too, like fucking others over with patents.
Doing charity with a small fraction of your obscene wealth after this isn’t any kind of moral absolution.
- Comment on Exception implies deficiency. Am I the only one who sees this? 3 months ago:
Not necessarily INHERENT deficiency. Providing exception for someone who grew up oppressed, poor, abused etc can help level the playing fields and doesn’t imply that the oppressed etc person has any inherent deficiencies. Just that they’ve had it harder so far and maybe we should cut them some slack for that.

- Comment on Why do some languages use gendered nouns? 4 months ago:
I thought this was a discussion about languages people speak.
Esperanto is an interesting case though but it wasn’t designed to be as simple as a language can be (since that is highly subjective). It was designed to have as many similarities as possible to major European language in order to make it easier for speakers of those European languages to learn.
- Comment on Why do some languages use gendered nouns? 4 months ago:
Because languages aren’t constructed, they ‘evolved’ naturally from humans communicating with one another for many generations. As such, they aren’t intended to be as simple as possible. They aren’t intended in the first place. They’ve grown over time with no regard for whether the rules makes sense because nobody designed those rules, they just happened.

- Comment on How do you currently handle Covid infections? 9 months ago:
One of the silver linings of covid is that this has become the norm. I remember how much I used to be shamed for staying home with minor infections, now if anything the opposite is the case.
