Everyone is gifted with the ability to control their own fertility. You're only fertile if you want to be. The only chance for pregnancy to occur is if both partners want it to.
I imagine that would cause a severe population decline, and I'm fine with that. There's too many humans on this planet already.
I hate that logo. I glanced at the subject and thought the X Window System was standardizing remote audio over the X protocol.
Yet I continue to constantly hear from my conservative colleagues about how bad Biden is for the oil industry...
Ah, DEC. Some really cool stuff came out of Maynard, MA.
A few notable things about DEC:
I had a guy from Florida tell me that the oil wells just fill up again after you empty them, so the whole oil shortage is a scam.
I mean, they do, for a while anyway... but it's like that last little bit of a milkshake that you never quite get through a straw. There's no new oil - it's just the stuff that is just now making it into the well. He thought you just waited a handful of years and you'd have another gusher.
Like all things relating to people, it varies.
Some women actually prefer smaller penises. A friend of mine was that way - her ex husband was too big for her and sex hurt. Her next husband was smaller and she discovered that sex could be enjoyable for her, too.
Some like 'em big. And some don't care.
Except in extreme cases, it's generally not a deal breaker and usually not the most important factor for enjoyment. My girlfriend likes 'em big but her ex husband was well below average. He had skills, though, so she had no complaints (in regards to the sex, anyway).
As far as oral sex goes, you've been misinformed. Lots of women like to receive oral sex.
As far as dollar amount, probably some meal with my girlfriend. We don't do fancy but usually have one nice meal on a vacation.
But as a percentage of my income - something called Bonzai Chicken I ordered for $70 on my honeymoon back in the 90s. I made $7/hr at the time. I didn't know it had curry in it or that I was allergic to curry. I spent the remainder of my honeymoon sick as a dog.
I met a girl back when I was 18 and really hit it off with her. She told me that her ex was scary because he punched his dashboard when he was pissed off. Her ex was a guy on the fringes of our social group, so I didn't know him well.
A few days later we're in bed and my roommate lets her ex in. He confronts us with a major "WTF?" Apparently she never bothered to tell him she was leaving him.
A few weeks later, she's gone on to someone else and I'm best friends with the ex. We're still on friendly terms decades later.
Nobody, and I won't work somewhere that puts up with that shit.
I've had bad bosses and coworkers before. When I was young and easily replaceable I put up with it until I realized that the jobs were just as replaceable as I was. "Oh hey, I can make the same money almost anywhere, so why deal with these assholes?"
Now I'm specialized in a high demand field. Corporate plays stupid games among the executives but they know better than to mess with us - you can find an MBA under any rock but people with my skill set are the core of the business and we're hard to find. My team is professional and helps each other out. Any of us could quit and likely get better pay elsewhere, so we make sure to weed out the troublemakers.
It's 4chan. If you don't throw in casual racism into every post they label you a lib and make fun of you.
I believe you've answered your own question.
Lemmy isn't Marxist-only. The majority of Lemmy users are what the more vocal Lemmygrad and Hexbear users deride as "libs." As a thought experiment, imagine that you are one of us for a moment and then browse Local on one of those.
