We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings.

To me that seems like a bold claim considering “the divine right of kings” has not been successfully resisted nor was it escaped from. Monarchies still exist on every continent, people of royalty still get more rights and better treatment than others, once-royal families still possess loads of wealth, still rule countries in high political positions, still own many companies and other wealth generating assets. Humans have gained unfair advantages due to their lineage for thousands if not tens of thousands of years and I highly doubt that this will change massively in the next thousand years.

Regardless, it still sounds like a really nice speech though.

Too much lipstick. 👀

I assume the “160mph” mistake exists because 100mph is 160km/h. Some editors probably mixed up some numbers.

How about ducks?

You mean besides the religious ritual aspect and telling people what to do? From a medical perspective that seems to be the whole idea yeah.

A quick note since it might not be clear, I just randomly assumed that doctors need about 1 or 2 hours to consult with the patient and do the operation. With an average hourly wage in South Africa according to “the internet” of about $15 to $20 and medical tools/facilities costing an estimated $10 or so. Maybe it’s a bit more or less, but those numbers seemed sane and careful enough. Like all the numbers in my estimation they could easily be off by a factor of two or so. Also, since this is about disease prevention note that this is hopefully not done by some random black market quack doctor.

I was curious about the source used for this graph and found it’s a free book that’s available online in the National Library of Medicine (of the US). Here’s Chapter 7 of the book Disease Control Priorities as referenced in the picture.

Why does it make you suspicious? Oh I see, blades near genitals sure are scary.

On the statistic: A little bit of a snip doesn’t seem very expensive to me. I wonder if this statistic also includes the cost for consulting with the doctor or the reduced risk of spreading HIV to other people. According to some reports on the topic by the World Health Organization and US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it seems to reduce the risk of HIV infection by a bit more than 50% and reduces other infection risks too.

Assuming $1000 can afford about 20 to 50 circumcisions, assuming they happen almost exclusively for high risk males (eg men with wife working as a sex worker, or wife living in high risk areas in south/east africa, or men frequently changing sex partners) and assuming this extends life spans for about 5 to 20 years by preventing an infection, those numbers kinda seem sane.

edits: Added links, better formatting, some extra comments, etc.

Maybe it’s a sort of strapon biting fetish.

I don’t really know much about this topic even after reading the article. It does bother me however that there’s so many channels/server on Telegram full of spammers that seem to offer drugs and prostitution. It’s almost like those were the only things that exist in this world. Which is such a huge waste of a chat program.

Also who the hell listens to any of the nonsense influencers/politicians write in their heavily biased channels, seriously, I can’t find a sane reason to join those, yet strangely that seems to be the only reason the masses use this tool. It’s all just confusing.

I want a comic about a friendly android who finds humor in spooking humans with red eyes (and other things).

Don’t forget the fact that this is all started by horny plants who only dress up nicely and offer sweets to allure innocent little bees because dirty as they are plants want bees to touch their genitalia to smear pollen all over their bodies as the little ones fly from plant to plant, exchanging pollen by means of a never ending bukkake.

I think rating genres is generally not a useful thing. I feel as though pidgeonholing games, music, videos or other things into categories and judging them based on that could lead to narrow-mindedness. Each genre has great games and each genre has bad games.

Some genres are more interesting to some people, but I’d say that’s because hobbies are sort of random and not because some are better than others. If by chance you happen to get a deeper knowledge about a certain genre or topic you will become more interested in it naturally. That doesn’t mean other things are more boring by nature.

I just checked. My own pooper is more or less halfway between my booper and my feet. So since I am a rept if I were a reptile I would be measured only half my current human size.

What do you mean when you say they’re paywalled?
