  Oh, true. He also wrote the first known usage of the popular phrase “lick my ass” though. Fun fact.

  What an insane thing to say. I’m Jewish (non-religious). I’m strongly anti-zionist. Most Jewish people I know, especially young ones, do not support Israel. Israel is a problem, but the moment you extend that to religious and ethnic groups, regardless of overlap, you’re inviting hate and violence. It would be like blaming Mexican people for Mexican cartels, Arabs or Muslims for ISIS, or ethnic Russians for the actions of the Russian government.

  The Israeli government is “the problem,” not Jewish people categorically. Totalitarian regimes around the world are “the problem,” not the ethnic or religious groups that live where they occupy.

  I believe they were being sarcastic.

  That’s rather selfish. There is harm, but not to you. You’re okay with hurting other people for your own gain to avoid having one difficult conversation. I can only assume that you wouldn’t feel good if a partner treated you like that, so why do so to them? Either you have a general lack of empathy, lack introspective ability, or are just perfectly okay with the idea of being cheated on, and also the idea of someone else hurting because of your own actions. I’m fascinated, and also recommend you try consensual polyamory next time instead.

  Genuinely funny.

  Then hopefully you don’t expect women to take birth control or have an IUD.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A gel injected into the scrotum could be the next male contraceptive⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you explain why? Some people don’t want to have kids. Why should the onus fall on only women with birth control and IUDs? More options for male contraceptives are a good thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nothing pulls its iMessage app from the Play Store following privacy disaster⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not a Chinese company if I’m understanding correctly. It’s a British company run by a Chinese guy. Being from China is not a reason to distrust the product.

  This is a necessary evil to save many many human lives. Alternatives are being worked on, but this isn’t just for money or food, it’s for lifesaving medicine.

  What? Cognitive behavioral therapy is not for the mentally handicapped. It’s for anyone.

  That’s the nice thing about federation, you don’t have to interact. If you don’t like how a community is run, don’t participate in it, or even defederate.
