I said society. The word ‘men’ isn’t even in the thing I said that you quoted. Much less ‘all men’. Both men and women saw reproduction as a woman’s responsibility. Can you explain why that’s a sexist thing to say? Or, if it’s not true, why nobody tried to research male hormonal birth control at the same time they were researching female hormonal birth control?
Also, I didn’t have to look that up. It’s common knowledge. But, as I said, there’s no reason to believe your claim that barrier methods were ever solely men’s responsibility. You didn’t even really offer evidence or a justification for that claim.
I also never said men are pricks. I said that the responsibility to use barrier methods isn’t always on men and that women who have casual sex with men could easily confirm that. There’s people who are being responsible and people who are being irresponsible of any gender. Once again, I’m just taking issue with your claim that barrier methods are and always were men’s responsibility.

100% agree. The fact that they’re only researching it now has been hurting everyone involved.

Can you please point out the thing I said that you consider sexist, and why? I’m striving not to be, and like to learn where I can.

Ok I’ll ignore the name calling one last time.
I’ll put it super simply, in the hope that you misunderstanding me wasn’t as intentional as it comes across
-
barrier methods have always been, and continue to be, a shared responsibility
-
all other non-permanent methods have been purely on women until very recently.

This sounds like it would make sense on the surface, but is just not true. You can look up pretty easily that there wasn’t really any research on the viability of male hormonal birth control until half a century after female hormonal birth control became a thing, so it’s not like they made a rational decision based on scientific findings. When they found out how to do it for men, it was roughly comparably complicated, with similar side effects. This too is easy to look up.
It makes sense that the side effects were too much to legalize hormonal male birth control because today’s standards are much higher. Which is a good thing ofc- im glad they don’t allow new medication as easily as they did in the past. Female birth control wouldn’t be legalized if it was invented today, and neither would, for example, aspirin. They get to stay around because they don’t take that stuff back out usually, even if it wouldn’t pass modern standards. That’s a bit of a tangent though.

Why is everyone in this thread acting like men are always the ones providing and insisting on using barrier methods? Have yall talked to a woman who’s had casual sex before about what it’s like out there?
- Comment on She is making a GREAT point 1 day ago:
It’s less of a conspiracy and more that it didn’t even occur to society until pretty recently (in historical terms) that reproduction isn’t solely a woman’s responsibility

It really depends on whether you want the newest games with 128k graphics. I game on a 5 year old Thinkpad* and a first gen switch and am happy about it.
*granted, it was refurbished and still like 2700€, but the same laptop would be cheaper today

Thanks for this reminder that I can ardently disagree with someone’s opinion and still think absolutely nothing less of them.

Given enough time and known lengths, most of my students should be able to calculate the surface area of this by the time they graduate. They’d just split everything into triangles and quadrangles, use the formula for each, then add everything together. It’s not that useful of an exercise though, didactically speaking, because once you grasp that process, it’s just repetitive and lengthy. There’d have to be a LOT of given values to make this solvable, too.
On a more subjective note, they can also form sentences. They just don’t want to when colloquial speech brings the point across just as well and it’s an informal setting. The same is true for most people of all ages in my experience.

Cursive is wayyyy more accessible for lots of people with chronic pain in their arm/hand/wrist. Also helps prevent those conditions for those who have do a lot of hand writing. I dread the day that people will no longer be able to read the least painful way to write or me.

Sibling and I were visiting my mum. Neighbour kids were playing outside when we arrived. They loudly asked ‘why does the boy have long hair and the girl short hair?’ Mum said ‘Because they each like their hair that way!’ and the kids were also like ‘yeah that makes sense’. Kids love learning new stuff, it comes easily to most of them to learn that humans can differ.

That was one of the first things I noticed when visiting north America. The grid really does make cities super windy compared to the cities I’m used to, which grew naturally over centuries and aren’t on a grid. And I’m from a city that’s pretty windy for geographical reasons. Still doesn’t compare.

Genuine question, why don’t they put the beepy tag things that are on stuff like video games and pricier clothing? That’s what they do with stuff like fancy liquor where I’m at. I’ve never had to ask an employee to unlock a cabinet for me, not even for actual expensive stuff, like a laptop.

Middle class isnt a clear cut distinction anyway. It mostly serves to divide those of us who live off of labour rather than ownership so we go after one another instead of the capitalists.

Ya know, people keep saying this, but I’ve tried coke before, and preteen sex didn’t cross my mind once during it.

When I was 12, my mum told my teacher that I found the books we were reading for class childish. Teacher then gave me IT to read instead. No idea what he was thinking. Being the same age as the characters, the sex scene was the most traumatizing by far.

If you think you’re helping the vegan cause, you’re not. Veganism is a moral stance, not a diet, and can be any combination of healthy, unhealthy, high or low in calories.

Hey, don’t feel bad. A giant chain won’t go under because someone desperate needed to eat.
- Comment on grocery shopping 1 week ago:
Much more sustainable to shoplift a little bit at once. Steal like 1 item when you buy 10, make it something small. Oops, it just slid under something in your bag. Don’t make it the most expensive item of your shop.

Afaik they intentionally look at and around it briefly, simply because no other doctor (I’m some cases, nobody at all) ever looks there and you could have a malignant mole or something. At least the two I’ve been to said it’s common practice.

Also ironic is that none of the listed automations require machine learning and there’s been hard coded technology for them for a while.

- Comment on If proton decay isn't true 2 weeks ago:
Not a physicist yet, temporarily a high school physics and maths teacher until I can start my PhD
Fe-56 is the heaviest nucleus that releases energy when other nuclei fuse into it. Everything heavier requires energy, that has to come from somewhere else, to fuse. All things tend to keep doing stuff that release energy, and they don’t like to do stuff that requires energy. So, in a long enough amount of time, nuclei keep fusing together while it releases energy, and stop when it starts to require energy.
This pretty much only takes nuclear physics into account though, whereas the actual universe is a lot more complicated and will thus probably not turn itself into all iron.

Toenails grow much more slowly than fingernails for everyone.
That said, if my little toe nail grows out more than about 2mm, and the toes are sort of pressed together, it slits the neighbouring toe, and I’ll take my shoes off to see my sock absolutely drenched in blood. No thank you.

My honest guess it’s fake nails for the sake of shit posting, and they removed them after.
