I don’t think this is the original reason, but it has been found to happen. Also, your risk of penile cancer goes to almost zero, as well as fewer and less serious complications related to the foreskin (or its absence). Going fully nude while circumcised is a dangerous game, though.
The usernames add a whole new layer to this thread. “Pink drunken elephant” having a serious and sober look at the conversation and how stupid it is, and “get off the drugs dude” happily continuing this bizarre and pointless conversation.
Yes, a number of users on Lemmy have made that claim, and this article shows references of it being done by various media outlets and other political pundits.
So…threatening to retaliate against those who didn’t vote for him last election? Removing rights from various classes of people? Those kinds of things?
Yep, that’s my life, pretty much. OTOH, my kids don’t have to live under the curse of arbitrary units of measurement and only have a vague idea of what a foot is.
I used to believe this, then the 2008 banking crisis came along, banks were looking at going bankrupt, the government had to step in, and the CEOs got 7- and 8-figure bonuses.
No, it would be desecration of a corpse. That might change when we have the potential to revive corpsicles, but the law as it stands doesn’t consider destroying dead bodies as murder.
If I spend an entire article talking about ways that school dress codes fall afoul of cultural values because Scot sometimes wear kilts, am I not talking about dress codes?
Just because you can’t extrapolate doesn’t mean the rest of us shouldn’t.
Apparently you like to read. Open the EULA for basically any commercial software (not FOSS or open source, costs money, isn’t made by some small company, basically the same criteria as >90% of the games on Steam) and you are going to learn 2 things very quickly. First, all of them are just a license to use, and second, if there are patches or an online component you will have at least as many caveats and restrictions as what is included in the Steam TOS.
Now, I’m not saying you’re wrong or that I’m okay with this situation (I look for open source, free, then paid for all the software that lets me do whatever it is I’m trying to do), but the situation with Steam is very typical.
The thing here is, people will talk and if there are any serious issues, a lot of people, myself included, will have no moral objection to pirating the games they already paid for access to. And in some jurisdictions, it won’t even be illegal. Like with most enshittification situations, it isn’t going to be there one day and gone the next, so liberating your games won’t be overly difficult.
The big gotcha will be online multi-player games. If you don’t have a server, the client doesn’t matter.
You’re not wrong, but just about everything I’ve read says in most cases the difference is too small to matter. So if you’re looking for convenience or less spoilage, this gives you that with almost no downside.
Could have been because of the prevalence of trichinosis in pork until relatively recently (i.e. in your grandmother’s lifetime). If your immune system is in good shape, it’s not terribly risky, but if you just came out of the hospital you probably aren’t in peak form. So avoid pork for a while until your body can properly fight off parasites again.
Proper food safety and livestock handling has dramatically reduced the risk of parasite infections from pork in most of the developed world.
I propose that pineapple on pizza is the equivalent of personal quantities of pot possession in the legal world. Sure, a lot of people who claim to have never done it sure spend a lot of time talking about how terrible it is on a personal and societal level, but the ones who are actually using it just shrug their shoulders and say “more for me.”
Once you share your thought, they are no longer yours alone, and the thoughts they spark in others are, in some ways, both yours and theirs. Or, if you prefer to hear it another way, “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.”
