Wait, are you trying to make the argument that capitalists sell things for below cost???

No, they are cheaper at a grid-level power source level.

Okay, but I was pointing out how alternate energy choices are already cheaper than fossil fuels? Which is a fact…

You didn’t mention mining, you mentioned making alternate energy sources cheaper than fossil fuels. Considering the topic of the thread, I also didn’t connect that you might of meant the environmental costs.

The thing is, alternative energy sources already are cheaper than fossil fuels :(

The thing about hyperinflation is that it’s not a “real” force that occurs simply because there is more money in the system. It entirely comes from sociological reactions to there being more money in the system, mainly wage growth and capitalists reacting to that with price growth. So without tipping your hand, you could abuse the economic system quite a lot without sparking an inflationary crisis. Certain state actors, like North Korea and China, have counterfeited US dollars without causing any inflationary issues.

Yeah, sorry, I didn’t mean to say it was exclusively. It’s just really powerful for all women ☺️

Victorious is a trans woman anthem honestly. Listened to it a lot early in my transition.

fun fact: they don’t have private numbers anymore, so you can gather a bunch of random payphone’s numbers for shenanigans.

This was about HPV, not HIV. It’s the virus that causes genital warts, and can be oncogenic.

Alright bigot.

No, not really.

Well, in Australia they do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Caramelldansen, the Caramella Girls version.

“Despite the conflicting data reported in articles, the weight of the scientific evidence suggests there is not sufficient data to establish a direct association between male circumcision and sexual dysfunction.”

That is talking about sexual function, and doesn’t mention pleasure at all. I don’t think anyone here is disputing the ability to get an erection or ejaculate. There would have been much broader consequences on populations already by now if that were the case.

And last but not least, we have a view of a clinician in this topic who highlights the necessity of teaching him good hygiene to avoid phimosis…

What? Phimosis is a congenital issue, you can’t get it from a lack of hygiene???

I’m actually a bit surprised the EU would allow it instead of just forcing MS to give everyone another free year of updates.

They did: https://baltimorechronicle.com/other/2025/10/10/windows-10-security-updates-free-in-europe-what-users-need-to-know/

Also, you can just pay $30 in the US if you don’t wanna sign in.

😂😂

No, the r-word.

You’re right, it’s much different. Minors that are wanting sex change surgeries are both consenting, and have a medically necessary reason for getting them.

If I’m reading that correctly, it would be prevalence of people that are circumcised, not the current prevalence of it being done, right?

Edit: Also, all the yellow parts could literally have a zero or close to zero rate. Or just a minority Jewish population.

I read that, and even talked about that in my comment. Please don’t be condescending. I clearly meant the original study’s* authors.

The papers subtitle is “results from a randomized controlled trial of male circumcision for human immunodeficiency virus prevention” and that sounds more reasonable but I’m not going to dig any deeper tonight

There’s a vaccine though, which we are already now giving to young boys as well.
