  • So a toggleable vasectomy.

    Trouble is you need a several days (maybe a week or more) and/or a few ejaculations to actually be sterile after a vasectomy... So this isn't the kind of thing that you can flip on in the moment and you're safe.

    Why do right-wingers say that minorities must create their own stories if they are going to complain in the same way?

    Jump

  • The 'create their own stories' thing was a ploy. They were either using it as cover to try and conceal their racism or they were betting that people of color wouldn't be able to make their own works and find an audience. They don't actually want new black characters; they don't want black characters at all.

  • ‘Hard to argue against’: mandatory speed limiters come to the EU and NI

    Jump

  • I suspect such circumvention will be illegal, and will turn a moderate speeding fine into a much more severe one.

  • Fellas of Lemmy, what's your Every Day Carry (EDC)?

    Jump

  • I carry my phone, ear buds, keys, wallet, a small pocket knife, and the ghosts of my past.

  • Ex-FBI agent facing Jan . 6 charges says he's being targeted for political beliefs

    Jump

  • Nah, he's being charged for his political actions

  • What generation are you?

    Jump

  • No clue. Everyone called me a millennial until they started calling me gen Z.

  • Biden’s debate performance sets off alarm bells for Democrats

    Jump

  • Honestly I have no idea

  • Biden’s debate performance sets off alarm bells for Democrats

    Jump

  • He said he would in exactly those words.

    Don't use Jan 6th

    explain why you think he's authoritarian, but don't talk about that time he instigated a failed fascist coup

    I'll admit, if you move the goalposts like that it gets a lot harder to score.

  • Biden’s debate performance sets off alarm bells for Democrats

    Jump

  • Thankfully, he doesn't actually need to win the majority vote (look up the electoral college if you're curious/horrified), unfortunately that fact mostly benefits Trump.

    It may already be too late to replace him. It would definitely be risky. And it's not gonna happen unless Biden himself says so. If he runs against whoever the DNC were to pick to run against him or would guarantee a Trump win.

  • What is your favourite game with native Linux port?

    Jump

  • I never knew factorio has a Linux version. I hear the factory calling me again. You might not see me for a few days.

  • which one do you prefer? having kids or no kids? and why??

    Jump

  • There would have to be some dramatic changes in the world socially and politically before I'll feel even remotely comfortable having kids. Also my finances would need to change.

    And my family also has some genetic issues I'd rather not pass on.

    Adoption is an option, but I'm pretty sure I don't even want one in the first place. When I was younger I thought having kids seemed like a sucker's game. My opinion has softened on that a bit, but it's still difficult to imagine actually wanting children.

  • Can someone explain me USA obsession with prom and similar school rituals?

    Jump

  • There's also a lot of variance within the US. In some towns prom is huge. In my home town it wasn't as much. Many students elected not to go at all.

  • Why Americans aren’t buying more EVs

    Jump

  • You explicitly asked about apartments tho

  • Why Americans aren’t buying more EVs

    Jump

  • Near all apartments around me have exclusively open-air parking, so this isn't a viable solution for many. It's not that the available power is inadequate, it's non-existent.

  • Why Americans aren’t buying more EVs

    Jump

  • An enormous percentage, especially in the current housing market, however...

    Many (most?) American cities have wildly inadequate public transit and are prone to sprawl. Many Americans live in apartments, but are a multiple mile walk from their grocery store. If there's any public transit at all it's probably an infrequent and unreliable bus line that may not go anywhere near their home to begin with. They live in apartments, but are not anywhere near 'downtown'.

    These are problems that need to be solved, and quickly, but public transit is best grown with a city, which didn't happen. Inserting a subway after the fact is difficult, expensive, and slow.

    The reality of right-now (which is all a renter is likely to be able to consider financially) is that a reliable car is an essential item in most parts of the country.

  • Elon Musk Offered Horse To Flight Attendant In Exchange For Sex: Report

    Jump

  • Oh yeah. Especially if you work as a flight attendant, so you'll have to play someone else to care for it when you're away.

  • Elon Musk Offered Horse To Flight Attendant In Exchange For Sex: Report

    Jump

  • Probably rationalized it as being cheaper than legal fees + additional damage to his reputation from a public trial.

    Or it happened and he'd have lost.

  • Men with 'toxic masculinity' are more likely to make sexual advances without consent, study finds

    Jump

  • Fair enough, I suppose

  • Men with 'toxic masculinity' are more likely to make sexual advances without consent, study finds

    Jump

  • "Men who are toxic generally are more likely to be toxic sexually"

    Kind of a no-brainer. I guess it's interesting that men who exhibit toxic traits are both more likely to falsely identify behavior as consensual and are more likely to proceed even if they do identify it as not consensual, but that's not totally unexpected either.
