Do you know what has all of those adverse effects in much greater frequency while also having a profound effect on your life? Pregnancy

Yes, the medical field has done a fucking terrible job of communicating the adverse effects of anything to do exclusively with AFAB bodies - look up what an IUD insertion is like without anesthesia - but again, if we compare hormonal birth control to pregnancy in terms of adverse physiological and mental effects, it's not even on the same planet.

Yeah, it might not be great for a sizable percentage of folks, and a minute percentage of folks have more immediately dangerous adverse effects that make taking hormonal birth control impossible, but in almost every case pregnancy is worse.

There's an obvious reason to get pregnant, for sure, but it comes with much, much greater risks than preventing it, especially if you don't want the intended outcome of pregnancy.

Gonna be honest, we should be thankful these freaks aren't carrying themselves with dignity. People will respect horrible, horrible things done politely.

Maybe the couch asked to just cuddle......

Absolutely, fuck the police, but are you also teaching your children to never call an ambulance or the fire department? Are we also saying fuck paramedics and firefighters? Because, again, it's the same goddamn number for both, and you don't usually get the other services without the murder hobos tagging along.

Maybe we can focus on the murder hobos and not blaming a child for the actions of the murder hobos.

~~Yeah, 12 year old should know that calling 911 for help is literally murder! /s

He's a literal child and was scared. He called for help. It's gross to blame him or even imply he should know calling for help on the same line you call for fire and ambulances will cause an attempted murder.~~

ETA: I don't know where I came up with him being 12, but the point about calling for help and the murder hobos being the same line as the helpers still stands. Blaming a 19 year old for calling 911 because the cops decided to try to murder someone is still gross.

......are you okay? Like, I get that you don't like dogs and are frustrated with bad dog owners, but like, that seems a bit intense even for an Internet comment.

Or, most likely, both.

I had to shut it off. To everyone else's credit they hammered him about it, but I cannot keep watching something that platforms....that.

Accelerationism is the ideology of privileged idiots.

Reading this made me think the same, but it's Circle K, not Triple K. Minor existential crisis averted....I hope.

I think you are minimizing the physical aspects of sex and the necessity of attraction for sex. Yes, good sex has connection and the mind plays a big role, but attraction is absolutely necessary for sex to be enjoyable, and I'm certainly not attracted to myself AT ALL. (I do not enjoy sexual activity with the same gender even in the slightest, which seems similarly important.)

Also, you're assuming people are honest with themselves (BIG ASSUMPTION) and that they don't just hate themselves. I guess you could fantasize about hate-fucking yourself, but that seems like a topic for therapy.

I don't want to yuck your fantasy yum, but I think it's a lot more niche than you might realize.
