Yes.

That’s behavior from games 30+ years ago.

Ah, the rose tinted glasses of nostalgia.

I miss OMD: Unchained. 😔

Safety isn’t a matter of taste. After a certain threshold maybe, but prior to that, it’s a matter of responsibility (and sometimes legal liability).

Depression and anxiety greatly hindered my educational goals, so I only have an associates degree in accounting. However, the woman I married has a master’s degree in computer science and a good, well-paying job. Our first child had medical issues requiring full-time care for several years, so I am now a stay-at-home dad to two kids, guiding them through homeschool.

Your heart is in the right place, but that’s not exactly a reasonable comparison. Few other surgeries, even elective ones, permanently remove your ability to do something as major as procreation.

People should have the option to have their tubes tied without judgement, but it is not as simple a decision as repairing a damaged part of the body.

My understanding is that doctors often don’t just question but often refuse if they think the person should not do it. To be clear, that refusal is generally based on personal opinion, not for medical reasons.

Those extra flavor dusted Cool Ranch chips hit hard. I miss them.

People will bitch about anything.

I just assumed. Homebrewing seems to rarely refer to actual brewing.

There’s little in the world to be anything but disgruntled about.

This just in: primary caregiver more likely to remember medical details! I’m a stay-at-home dad, and I have much greater knowledge about my kids’ medical history.

My family’s was “beats a sharp stick in the eye.”

Wow, I completely forgot about that game.

There will always be exhibitionists and people who just like to fuck, but sex work is, by definition, transactional. You’re not going to see a society with free communal whores who aren’t being compensated in any way.

Wow, is that for rill?

Eh, we can leave our cats for a week with plenty of food, etc., and they’re still thrilled when we return.

We’re snuggly right up until we get bitey.

Nope. Nope.

I don’t mind a hug, but I have zero desire to snuggle or wrestle with my friends, male or female.
