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
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

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.
Thank you for linking this.
Hahah you mean like Lemmy itself?
Well, you certainly are allowed to be mad about the unfairness of it all
‘Fair’ is a figment of human imagination unfortunately, but it’s one of our best dreams and I too wish all the things were fair.
My dearest wish would be a version of RiF for Lemmy
But the dev of that near-perfect app is focused on Tildes, which is a very good community, but a very different one than lemmy
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:
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
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.
Ah no worries.
If you’re using Jeroba, I can empathize. If you’re using some other quirky app, … I guess they are all like that
That is an opinion that some people share.
I don’t think they are easily compared. Different forms of the same general crime against humanity.
Both are pretty awful, but I’m not sure that it’s a contest about which has a greater degree of awfulness.
I’d support similar economic treatment of Israel’s overseas financial holdings though.
Wouldn’t that be something to see! Haha it’s fun to think about at least.
Israel not being held accountable for it’s shitty behavior doesn’t mean Russia should get a free pass
(Insert porque no los dos meme)
*Edited to expand initial reaction
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

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)
It absolutely is comparable. Nuremburg was an EXTREMELY selective application.
Sometimes, a state/government/group takes actions that are so objectionable that other people want to punish them, and collectively they decide that it’s okay to make up a new rule and apply it retroactively.
That was how Nuremburg happened, and now it has happened again. We can argue if it was justified or not, or about the details of implementation.
You may be salty that Israel appears to be getting away with its bad behavior, but the two things really are not connected
Russia has Fucked Up (by failing to achieve their SMO goals in three days) and then they have Doubled Down (by failing to quit while they were ahead) and now, of course as the kids do like to say, they are Finding Out. (a little bit at least)
Will it matter? Who knows?
But just today Lukoil agreed to sell off all of their overseas assets, and I’m guessing the buyers got a steal. This won’t bring about regime change directly, but domestic politics in Russia are tense. Unanswered anti-putin protests in st Petersburg would have been unthinkable a year ago
All of these wonderfully nerdy, techy and complicated answers
I just use Whatsapp on the phone, and Whatsapp Web in a browser tab.
Send files, text or images/screenshots
It would probably work as well work signal, but the folks I need to communicate with are all in Whatsapp so…
