nah man, it’s fuckin back there. waaaaaaaaay back there.

This confirms my suspicions that Nextdoor people are terrible.

No I really need the grief on this one - if I get enough shit I might start researching before I comment on stuff.

hello i am helping as per your request

It’s not your fault - I should have looked up CF symptoms before doubling-down on my little semantics crusade.

Even after reading the article I still had to find out from another commenter that CF has a 97% infertility rate among men. Gee wouldn’t it have been nice to put that in the article.

and CF makes men mostly infertile.

Yep just found out. Looks like I need a mulligan on this whole thread.

Ah see this is me not knowing and learning. Got it.

It seems harsh to say they can’t have a baby because of her husband’s genetic disorder, rather than they have chosen not to.

I think she doesn’t want to give birth naturally for fear of the child having CF. It’s not a question of can’t or wouldn’t. I don’t blame her one bit, but it seems disingenuous to posit her husband’s genetic disorder as the reason they can’t have a baby - they definitely could.

If that’s the case there’s a difference between the ability to give birth naturally vs. choosing not to have a child out of concern for a genetic disorder.

“she probably wouldn’t be able to give birth naturally because her husband has cystic fibrosis”

I’m typing up your GoFundMe as you read this.

Don’t bullshit me I know a Honda Ridgeline when I see it.

sway bar end links, sunroof shade, peeling pillar trim, inoperable trip computer button, oil going somewhere I have no idea, but goodness gracious I love driving it.

You too? All is forgiven in my E46 when I get on a winding back road.

Truth on that E46 ownership.
