It also kept tigers away for six years! Personal anecdotes are not meaningful when it comes to something like medical efficacy.

See, the simple fact that you're telling me those things when clearly I don't give a single fuck tends to suggest the contrary, but of course it's not conclusive and again, I don't give enough fucks to actually find out.

It's not cool to use "vegan" like this.

I don't know anything about you or these pills but typically one would tell a "lie" like that as part of their overall campaign to cope. The point isn't to deceive others but to bulwark a worldview that emotionally benefits the person to hold in some way (ie, "I was smart to take these pills, wasn't taken advantage of at all")

Please explain

In the 80s I went to a public event featuring the California Joy Stick; "Joy" referring to the brand of dish soap. There's probably a more common name for it. It's a device made of a large fabric loop on a stick with a nut for holding the loop open. You dip it in a solution of water, dish soap, and glycerine, and then open the loop to the breeze or walk with it. You can create bubbles tens of metres long, and wide and tall enough for a person to stand inside. I'm surprised it isn't still a thing people do, you could easily make one.

There was a bubble making competition. Most of the competitors seemed to be quite casual, but most of them found it fairly easy to be competitive.

They are not supposed to be able to and well designed e2ee services can’t be. That’s the whole point of e2ee.

You're using their client. You get a fresh copy every time it changes. Of course you are vulnerable to a MITM attack, if they chose to attempt one.

if you don’t want to risk your life, get an abortion instead of having the kid.

Would strongly agree with that.

I'm talking about human beings.

The effect that would be "canonized" or fixed would be the relaxation of the pouch. If dropping kids had a negative reproductive effect, the pouch would stop going slack eventually. If it had a positive effect, the pouch would relax more readily, so it wasn't an occasional accident but a common strategy.

My point is that something that has such a direct effect on reproduction is never going to get "ignored" by selection.

That this is a controversial opinion explains so much about human society. You're a bunch of self deluding quokkas.

Not to mention detached from reality. Every mother risks her life to give birth.

lemmy equivalent of rolling coal. have yourself checked for dark triad personality traits.

While this may have happened accidentally at times, there is no way the potential for an accident like that would not be either selected and incorporated, or selected against and rejected as a survival trait.
