Honestly I don't see why any person would want to force someone else to take hormones as a contraceptive when non-hormonal contraceptives work. And the fact that it's pill form makes it super easy. Literally not even an inconvenience. Just toss it back in the morning. Boom. Done.

Hormones will fuck you up.

In no way was the original comment even trying to imply anything about women trusting men. So I'm a little confused about this response.

Can't wait for the flood of people telling us why this isn't feasible for men to take and insisting that when a SAFE and 100% EFFECTIVE form is ready they'll surely take it.

In fact, I'd wager that they accomplish the opposite of what they claim. How many people see their reaction to mods, and decide "nah I'm not buying anything from them"

I know I do that. I'm sure others do too. So now rather than buying the game to mod, I'm avoiding anything from the company for quite some time.

My takeaway at least.

"I deserve to exist"

"wow, why did you have to make things political"

A statement dreamt up by the utterly deranged.

Important to note: 3D PRINTED FIREARMS DO NOT BREAK WITH A FEW USES

Firsthand knowledge.

200-250 rounds and still going strong, inspected before and after firing every time

No damage so far.

Beyond that point, I agree with everything posted.

My first thought was "So we call 'following the law' a loophole now?"

If the law meant a fucking thing, he would have been in prison decades ago.

Here's the one that convinced my dad that connecting everything is bad:

Your smart fridge knows what's inside and knows you just added a 12 pack of soda and donuts to the shopping list. They sell that data to a bunch of companies, including your insurance company. They know you have diabetes.

Your insurance rates just went up for the fifth time this year because your insurance company knows what you're eating.

And it's a good thing you don't drink beer or your car insurance would have gone up 'due to increased risk factors.' too bad you wanted to buy a new car this year.

Not only can you not afford it now, the price went up because they know you want a car. I'm sure they would make a payment deal with you though.

And every company will know all about the deal, the beer, the donuts, and all it took was sending money to whatever company had the information, and they were more than happy to sell it.

The more we allow companies to freely operate like this without regulation and without proper punishment for breaking the rules, we will continue sliding toward the hellscape of Ferenginar. For the non trekkies, it's a hyper-capitalist species of profit-driven assholes.

Nationalist Christians?

Hmm.... We should come up with a word for that.

How about Nat-Cs?

They wear their title proudly. Openly admit it in the streets.

And yet for some reason, are allowed to continue to operate freely.

Our country goes to war for less.

Edit: A friend of mine got this shoved in their mailbox today

Totally not domestic terrorists...
