disguy_ovahea , in Axios: Biden told Netanyahu U.S. won't support an Israeli counterattack on Iran

There’s no reason expect escalation at this time. Netanyahu got the IRGC commander and generals he wanted in the reckless embassy attack. Iran responded with last night’s attack on Israel and deemed the response conclusive.

Immersive_Matthew , in After Dobbs, twice as many women sought tubal ligation than men turned to vasectomies

Love how the Republicans are “so” focused on the birth of babies, yet not even talking about the massive drop in sperm count which is trending to zero in the next decade or 2.

There are also papers about our fears of climate change may be overblown, but they like this one are in the minority. Here is a more recent paper. academic.oup.com/humupd/article/29/2/157/6824414?…

The article you link and others like it all say the same thing. Sure it is falling….but it is not below the threshold that matters. YET.

I like how my paper is overblown but yours isn’t because you claim it’s in the minority without any evidence.

Immersive_Matthew ,

Without any evidence. Did you read the paper or just the headlines? I am concerned with falling sperm counts as is the UN and many governments, but I guess you know best.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

It’s a meta-analysis that goes up to 2013.

That is not evidence that the other papers are a minority in 2024.

So yes, without any evidence.

You brought up climate change. If you restrict scientific papers on climate change within a certain time frame and years before now, you can manipulate the results in a similar dishonest fashion.

Immersive_Matthew ,

It is due to people like you that we are not talking about real issues. Why are you so blatantly denying a real issue? Trolling?

For others reading this thread, here are 4 recent 2023/2024 papers all noting a concerning trend with male falling sperm counts. It is a very real issue that some are committed to sticking their head in the sand about.

It’s due to people saying that an 11-year-old meta analysis does not give a modern view of things that we are not talking about real issues?

Churbleyimyam , in More young people choosing permanent sterilization after abortion restrictions, new research shows

Wow, people really don’t want to wear a condom…

KillingTimeItself ,

condoms are cool and all, until you get raped.

InternetUser2012 ,

Or they fail.

KillingTimeItself ,

or someone tries and pull a quick one on you or something.

Churbleyimyam ,

“I forego the ability to have children in case I get raped and do not take the morning after pill”

KillingTimeItself ,

yes, exactly, you figured it out, congratulations.

People would genuinely rather not being able to have children (it’s reversible most of the time, though not always) than be raped and have to support a child they are simply not capable of or ready to support.

Churbleyimyam ,

How is sterilization preferable to the morning after pill?

KillingTimeItself ,

probably because the morning after pill is potentially illegal, or possibly, soon to be illegal. As well as all of the potential red tape surrounding it.

Getting sterilized now, and not having to answer questions in front of a judge asking you why you took a morning after pill after getting raped is always going to be preferable. Plus a lot of these people already don’t want children. So it’s not like it makes a difference to them.

Churbleyimyam ,

We live in absurd times.

KillingTimeItself ,

yeah, and you would think abortion would just be legal, but no.

interdimensionalmeme ,

No thanks, I’ll just fuck a fleshlight instead. Much better than a real vagina with a condom.

BTW condom dissent is majorly censored all accross the internet, even though it is an almost universally held belief that condom sex is shit sex not worth having.

richieadler ,

it is an almost universally held belief that condom sex is shit sex not worth having.

Many false beliefs are held by a high number of people.

Are you really trying to pull a popularity fallacy?

interdimensionalmeme ,

Let me try an ad hominem, people who argue about fallacies, aren’t reliable authorities on what constitute good sex.

richieadler ,

“Hurrrr hurrrr, people who know things don’t fuck, hurrr hurrr”.

Did you receive many head lesions playing football in college, or were you born a caveman already?

KillingTimeItself ,

damn, bro would rather fuck a faux rubber pussy than fuck a pussy with rubber in between.

interdimensionalmeme ,

Yes, it’s not even a contest which feels better. It’s real easy to find why, the condom moves -with- you, the fleshlight doesn’t. And the slick slippery surface of the condom dulls the texture.

KillingTimeItself ,

damn that’s crazy, i don’t remember asking though.

interdimensionalmeme ,

Hey if you don’t want to know, then keep it in your pants, your opinions that is.

KillingTimeItself ,

i dont remember bringing up fleshlights to be completely honest.

I’m a degenerate, but not that much of a degenerate.

desconectado ,

If you are going to have casual sex, you still need to wear a condom, what are you talking about? The lack of sex education in this thread is incredible.

Alph4d0g , in Defeated CEOs are now conceding hybrid working is here to stay

The most cynical view is likely the right one when trying to understand management decisions. They come with disingenuous anecdotes rather than hypotheses that can be falsified by data and real measurable transparent business outcomes.

Aren’t you supposed to use the Headline from the article and not editorialize??

I didn’t editorialize it. I posted what the AP had at the time.

That’s fair, but you probably should update the post if you are aware.

Kusimulkku , in Bill to make marrying your first cousin illegal in Tennessee passes but not without a fight

It’s legal in Finland. It’s pretty damn rare. I wouldn’t consider it a hugely shocking thing though, cousins usually aren’t very close here. Would make for weird family relations though.

PriorityMotif , in Why car insurance rates are so high
@PriorityMotif@lemmy.world avatar

New and used car prices are definitely up, so cost of replacement could affect insurance costs. Like everything else the reason is probably, “because we can”

tal , in Florida blocks heat protections for workers right before summer
@tal@lemmy.today avatar

I don’t really have a strong opinion as to the right way to go on this, but from a purely legal-technical standpoint, is there a good reason for having the rule made at the state level rather than the local?

I mean, ordinarily I’d think that it tends to make sense to let things be legislated at a low level unless there’s a reason not to.

If a locality over-protects workers against heat then, okay, they suffer economically and maybe people and business head to the next town over. I’d think that that’d self-resolve without the state getting involved.

ABCDE ,

Over protects?

girlfreddy ,
@girlfreddy@lemmy.ca avatar

Pretty sure that’s never happened even once in the history of capitalism.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

is there a good reason for having the rule made at the state level rather than the local?

Basic human anatomy doesn’t change from place to place. It needs to be made on the national level.

Bilbo_Haggins ,

And if a municipality underprotects against heat? What happens?

People die of heat stroke, that’s what happens. And the municipality maybe changes the law, but only after someone dies.

Protections in this situation are at the federal and state level because the consequences of doing them wrong are much more than just “suffering economically.”

And because worker deaths aren’t always a strong enough motivator at the local level. Frankly, not every town cares about their migrant workers and other working class folks, especially if labor is divided along racial and/or class lines.

drmeanfeel ,

Are you really enough of an insane ghoul to be suggesting “The Invisible Hand of the Market” about dying of heatstroke?
