Hey benign and honorable govt!

Please tell the website “kill-your-govt .net” that I am old enough to join the revolution!!!

Yea it’s bullshit. They want to build the whole thing as 'voluntary" which will last only until it’s in place and then some manufactured satanic-panik will make it “mandatory”

This is a ploy to build the system now and flip the switch later.

Not being familiar with the controveries referenced in this thread…

All of this reminds me very much of OpenBSD and Theo de Radt (?) back in the 98-02 era.

OpenBSD is certainly not the most popular *nix today, but it’s probably the most secure.

Can we get a tldr of the “problematic behaviours”?

As a casual who bought a pixel 9 specifically for Graphene, I not too embedded in the culture/dramas, and surely many others reading here are similarly unfamiliar

Hoppe’s #9

I have similar feelings and experiences as you, but have learnt while doing… uhh internet research, that micropeens do in fact have a pretty extensive and well-developed fanbase.

The acronym ‘sph’ is not very affirming, but there’s a hole other side to the genre that’s really quite supportive.

Some guys have all the luck, it seems.

Indeed, it’s a factoid that I heard/learnt somewhere…

Possibly from one of those “Astonishing Facts You Didn’t Know” toilet-tank books from the 1980s, before we had electronic poopy-time entertainment machines

Or rather, a Democratic majority Congress could USE that power to fix some things, and then shelve it.

Would they actually do that? X•doubt

No.

Remember their names for the PRIMARIES

Learn who’s challenging the incumbents, and throw a few bucks their way. Or help with their campaign

Most the Losers List above don’t expect to keep their seats or are otherwise election-proof to a degree, but it’s still important to pay attention in the primary.

Instead of ending up with a DNC-approved corpo-Dem, we need better candidates to win the PRIMARY

Mike Johnson won’t call the House in until after the 2 Dec special election in TN-07 Aftyn Behn is running against a maga candidate for a vacant seat

If she loses the election, then this cancels Grijalva’s vote and then it will be ‘safe’ for the Pedo Protection Party to bring the House back.

When she wins… Who knows.

The House will stay out until then, which is a major contributing factor to why the GOP was so desperate to peel off the ten Dork Dems on the Losers List above. They can NOT accept anything that would send the CR back to the House because the House is not available until 3 Dec.

Send Behn some dollars if you can, many small donations can have a great impact. She accepts no corp pac or iapac money

Also, she has a substack for posting about issues

Much later edit: Dunno why I had any faith in Schumer to stay the course. Of course they caved.

Changing the law to require Digital ID is as as simple as changing the word “never” to “will”

Many men would LOVE a reliable, non-condom, male-controlled birth control method

Currently for men there are two options — condoms, which are problematic and difficult in several ways, or vasectomy, which is essentially permanent or at least difficult and uncertain to be reversed.

The third method is to take WAY too many TOO HOT baths, but that also has uncertainty and is a real hassle.

As it stands, really for men they either need to use a condom, or trust that your female partner is reliable.

Are you required (currently) to use that digital ID to access some types of websites?

Can you browse porn without submitting a selfie? Or your digital ID?

The general concern is that once online digital ID is required, people will be forced to use if for ALL internet activity.

To be fair I don’t know the exact situation in various places, but it looks like UK is heading that way rapidly. China is already there for some time now (?)

Eventually, it will be required to log into any form of social media and “Droggelbecher” could (will) be associated with your real name.

Thank you for linking this.

Hahah you mean like Lemmy itself?

• replace ‘fascist’ with ‘tankie’

Yea it’s pretty clear.

Capitalism and religion, with maybe a little bit of ‘public health’ thrown in

There’s strong bias against contraception in general from some religious groups, and it is strongest against the “easier” forms. For example, among Catholics technically ALL contraception is forbidden, but condoms are more acceptable than an IUD, both of which are considered by some sects to be ‘abortifacient’ — on the theory that it merely prevents a fertilized egg from implanting on the uterine wall.

So condoms are ‘better’ because it is a barrier method.

The only Catholic-approved BC is abstinence of course.

Public Health also has a strong bias towards condoms, because of their protection against STIs. Of course, actual proper condom use is… inconsistent at best for most people.

Anyhow, the easiest and least intrusive methods of BC are usually viewed with the most suspicion and disapproval from all sides, and Vasagel/RISUG is like… the most extreme example of that.

It is:

• relatively inexpensive
• extremely effective
• one-time clinic visit
• fully reversible, with no recovery period
• impossible to forget or accidentally nullify

Unfortunately none of these factors endear it to the capitalists, the puritans, or the public-health hand-wringers*

*To be clear, i support public health goals, but the AIDS crisis has put a strong and lasting emphasis/insistence that condoms are the only way

Bullshit. A group of drunk Marines in a tattoo shop on shore leave is EXACTLY the sort of idiots that would point a a fat-looking pirate skull-crossbones on a sketchy tattoo shop wall and all get tattooed together.

This and eating the red crayons are a core activity for ignorant young devil-dogs.

Well, I’ve not had it since it isn’t available yet.

But I get what you mean about the needles in the dong.

But most likely, the needle is through the side of the scrote, which might not be much better.

Probably best to just not watch.

It is less invasive than a vasectomy, since it’s a needle and not a scalpel, but ofc it’s not as simple as a pill

On the other hand, it’s one-and-done and nevermore worried about unwanted paternity claims.

The best option all around that I’ve seen is Vasagel, which is the western development based on RISUG which was a successful Indian trial

https://www.planaformen.com/vasalgel

The major complication for it has been that no pharma wants to invest in it, likely because if doesn’t have good profit potential.

It is a one-time ‘shot’ of a physical gel that blocks the vas deferens (sperm channel) and is fully reversible simply by being flushed out again.

However, since it is not an ongoing monthly profit ahem, prescription, there is not a lot of money to be made.

No hormones, no pills, fully reversible, simply blocks the sperm exactly like a vasectomy, just very easily reversed. It can all be done in clinic with a syringe (perhaps tho the syringe will be a blocker for some men)
