Here’s what the CDC had to say about their original statements and a rebuttal to criticisms about circumcision. It only obliquely mentions genital cancer, but this article specifically discusses that.

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.

GreyEyedGhost, to memes in Why is this so difficult?

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.

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.

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?

Then we could have two systems with stupid scientific formulas!

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.

But only sometimes. Other times, interplanetary probes disappear.

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.

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.

-Reads title.

So, where does it say copyright again?

PNG exists because GIF was patented. The lack of gifs for so long was directly because of the royalty costs.

That’s one of many examples where science and culture were stifled because of excessive IP laws.

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.

GreyEyedGhost, to memes in I will rue the day this inevitably happens.

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.
