Any surgery is not complication-free, but IDK where vasectomies are at. I know tube tying is awful and fraught when you try to undo it, but IDK about the male snip.

Broken condoms are a real thing. People who are determined can also sabotage them (see the needle through the wrapper method).

Hell yes on “neither of us want kids.”

I didn’t think of the sperm freezing angle!

40% of Americans need a long walk off a short pier into the fucking sea. Can we just let them all secede the way they wanted to in the past? And dropkick them into the ether?

I don’t want to punish men any more than I want to punish women. If a woman gets to not be a mother, I want a man to be able to not be a father. It’s bad to force him into 18 years of paying for a mistake whereas women just get to abort. Having a system where one person gets to make all the decisions and the other has…

“Is there a district or polling place that could help swing a state? You might see it closed off due to “an emergency”. Perhaps that “emergency” might involve a local curfew, road or highway closures, or something as innocuous as a DUI checkpoint—any of which could limit traffic to the polls. Individual election…

This is the reason I think that despite living in a blue state and being liberal, I should maybe get a gun. My conservative parents taught me to shoot. Maybe it’ll come in handy in the impending civil war.

Did he finally fucking say something? Last I checked his prediction he was undecided on what he thought, which I figured was code for “Trump will win but people know I’m good at this and if I say he will, I’ll fuck over the election for real.”

It kills me that people are totally okay telling men to be celibate because they get no choice in whether they are fathers once there’s a slip, whereas women get a choice as to whether they are mothers. Is it biologically that much harder to stop sperm production than egg release? If I were a man, I would never ever…

“With my son, now 23, I’ve always emphasized that he can never rely on women for birth control, and he has no say in whether or not she has an abortion.”

It’s an argument since remote communication was invented as to whether doing a breakup face to face is kinder or meaner than doing it remotely. Some people think it’s atrocious to not “have the balls to break up to your face.” Some think it’s cruel to force someone to go out of their way to meet with you to just let…

I would agree except that he doesn’t have a history of gaslighting or abuse in other ways but does have one of being self-delusional about things. He’s very, very able to adjust his own reality in his head, usually in ways that only affect him.

The announcement is weird as hell, but I’m not surprised that he rewrote history to claim their divorce was totally amicable. I had a guy dump me after years of a long-term relationship, only to later claim that I dumped him, in what I (for various reasons) truly believe to be pure sincerity. We’re friends now, the…

I absolutely expect that to be the case.

I fucking adore DAI

“His uncle, Justin Blake, called it “insult to injury.””

“I hate knowing that, and I’ve spent countless hours trying to figure out what it is about this person that untethers me entirely from reason.”

When it comes to advice blogs, I generally assume people are writing honestly. Not necessarily because most people are honest, but because if we assume this is all tailored, the truth could be anything. You give advice for what was written. If it’s bad advice because the source material was bad, that’s the LW’s fault.

“I’m sure some people will find this advice too strident, or object that she is a grown woman who has entered freely into a post-relationship friendship with you and it would be infantilizing to assume you or I know what is best for her. I don’t care. There are certain relationships in which one person holds so much…
