Right! If people are electing not to use the cheap condoms, then we need to make the cheap condoms better and we are free to complain that they suck, but it's just not true if we complain that they're expensive. The cheap condoms are just as effective at preventing pregnancy/disease as the expensive ones.

I did miss the third world angle, and two helpful folks told me that. I didn't argue with them. I continue to argue with others who just insist condoms are hella expensive, because they are not.

And THAT is a valid complaint about condoms. They are shitty/chafy/whatever. But they are CHEAP. You're having problems with prophylactic finances because you're choosing comfort over money, which is a perfectly fair thing to do, but you can't get upset about cost when you're electing to take on that cost and have…

You're making it not cheap by choosing expensive condoms.

I don't claim condoms are perfect. I don't contest other issues brought up. I only contest the issue of cost, because for most people in a developed nation, that's a non-issue.

I always hear that the primary cause of hangovers is dehydration, and then I look at how little water I drink in an average week and my history of not once having a hangover no matter how much I drink and I wonder...

Don't apologize for that. It's brilliant.

Yes, in developing nations/backward places that have defunded PP I can see it being a problem.

expensive

Oh yes it was.

Zero EFC high-five!

I was far enough below the poverty line to get enough government assistance to educate myself with minimal debt. I now sit pretty with my degree and a very modest pile of loan repayments to make, and then I turn to my classmates that came in from the middle class...

Iiiiit's time for a round of anecdotal experiences!

I don't know the exact details of his employment and whether or not he was technically allowed paternity leave, but the pressure to get back to work was immense and so he was back in record time.

A male coworker of mine just had a baby less than two months ago. The baby was born on a Monday or a Tuesday.

It's disappointing that there are so very many comments on this article about making Kotaku a better place that are absolutely not doing that.

It is difficult to put a penis inside a clitoris.

My first thought was something about "pullable targets" but then that quickly broke down because short ponytails are in the same boat. Then it broke down further because any long hair at all is pullable.
