This is why we can't have nice things like dependable protection from fall damage while riding a boat in Minecraft.

Friendly reminder of the core problem: medical treatments are all balanced against the risk of what it counteracts.

Undergoing physical and chemical changes to grow another creature inside you and have it damage everything on the way out is pretty risky. Female birth control only has to be less risky than that.

A male has zero physiological risk from impregnating someone. Therefore, anything except a miracle drug with high efficacy and almost zero side effects is going to stall at the trial stage.

On another note, that speaks to how safe and effective vasectomies are.

I better block this instance. I'm not here to see sinful content like chemistry.

I was raised evangelical protestant in the USA, at some point attending both Seventh-day Adventist and Pentacostal churches. My mother did not consider my Catholic grandparents to be Christians, based on her belief that one cannot be saved by confession/prayer to a saint or clergy instead of directly to Christ.

To me, the sound of a big diesel engine idling at a stop is the sound of a peaceful winter night with my bedroom window open.

You know how this goes, right?

The resulting thirst for scientific knowledge results in unparalleled technological advancement, but also an endless demand deciduous teeth for further experimentation. Eventually their personally-developed, secretly manufactured and deployed microdrone monitoring network alerts them every time any child loses a tooth in the Western world. Slightly larger drones sneak into the home and collect the tooth. In an attempt to avoid further pressing of ethical boundaries, the drones are equipped to carry in small amounts of currency that are left in place of the tooth. Your family, more literally and on a larger scale than any family before, DOES the tooth fairy 🧚 stuff.

It's probably Emacs, but I'm a Neovim user, so I'm going to go with that.

Lazy plot setups. Main example: if someone coughs for no reason in the first 10 minutes, they DEFINITELY have a terminal illness that will be revealed shortly.

For me lately, it's been GitHub " awesome" repos.

I know there is a fediverse Goodreads replacement, but I cannot more highly recommend BookDigits. It still has the social aspect but is so much more powerful. The developer is also very responsive.
