I'm guessing you can stop at any time if you want to? I've known older healthcare professionals that have approved and even encouraged one drink a night, but our understanding of the effects of drinking has evolved. I doubt doctors keeping up with the science would encourage it at this point. It would be like having someone come in that's overweight. It doesn't mean you're unhealthy now, but it may be a factor that needs to be kept in check and working on it could prevent issues in the future.

Hm? I'm sure people are trying, and not to say AI won't be incredibly useful, too. I just think there's quite a few avenues to go down with it.

This is why I'm comfortable looking into soft sciences like social work or mental health. Ain't gon replace therapists with AI anytime soon.

Oh but they fucking love evo psych when a shitty study confirms their biases, but when they run into replication issues they just ignore it.

While the hammer and sickle may have roots in the USSR, I think it's more likely inferred individuals and labor movements worldwide appropriate it for the symbolism around labor rather than anything ideological around a government. We aren't taught shit about the USSR in the US beyond "communist government bad," so I had to Google the origins of it just now myself. I associated it with communism as a whole, which is often conflated with the USSR, but I wouldn't personally assume someone with it tattooed is giving explicit signal toward support of the old regime in the way a swastika signals a nazi (maybe they are, but I'd ask first, whereas with the swastika I will absolutely assume). Especially given how many variations there are these days. The religious swastika is also has distinct differences - flipped to a mirror image with dots around it. I'm partial myself to the romcom style where the sickle is shaped more like a heart, personally, though I'm not out here looking to get it tattooed. I only know enough to say communism is an economic system opposed to capitalism in the same way a democratic government is opposed (or should be) to authoritarianism. Workers of the world unite, something something, we have nothing to lose but our chains 🛠️❤️

Sucks you're being down voted, I mean maybe saying "idiot-proof" isn't nice but comprehensive sex ed should cover helping those with a noodle understand how to find ones that fit comfortably and what main causes there are for breakage n whatnot. I'm currently having that discussion with my sex buddy, and I can't tell you the amount of times I've had people try to coerce me into letting them go raw dog in the past. Like keep in mind I'm in a state that has not only criminalized abortion but is defunding all planned parenthoods now.

I tried googling this but am confused by the results. Can you explain a bit more

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate!?

I get what you meant by the question but I'm trying to demonstrate that it is impossible for us to conceptualize what nothingness is without something. It's a philosophical issue that science can't answer. You're welcome to whatever beliefs and answers to the question you like, but without a way to falsify it, that's all it is. A belief* (edited correction to autocorrect). Not scientific truth.

Further edit: just to be sure I'm clear, you've asked me to imagine what life was like before I was born, thereby pointing to my birth, which is something. My life is something. I don't know what life would be like without
