cissexism :L

also it's hard to tell with stuff like that how much is actual fact and how much is SCIENCE JOURNALISMS

I just have to say, as a cis man myself, there's several things that makes me uncomfortable with the idea (yeah I know...) :

- Testicles and the surrounding zone is already one of the more cancer prone area of a man anatomy, and I'm bit wary of the possibility of cancer induced by this substance. I know women have the intra-uterine device serving a similar purpose, but as far as I know it's just a t-shaped bit of plastic with medical-grade copper-wire around the extremities to kill sperm, not some sort of good of unknown (to me) composition.
-The need to see a trained professional to both be injected with the thing and get rid of it, when it seems so few know about it and even less may be trained to handle it, leaves room for a number of uncomfortable situations to arise in my eyes ; though I suppose that can hardly be helped with long-term birth control measures like this one.


Just to be sure, what makes you talk of cissexism here ?

The title of the article for one

You asked for reactions so I gave mine. Well, except that reading about sperm getting ripped to shreds by MAGNETS made me laugh

(I have to confess I didn't read the article in its entirety )

And, oh, now I get your remark. Yeah.

so it really bothers me how so many foreigners are always like "america sucks our way is better"

e.g. ppl saying "you mispelled colour"

what right do they have to be so smugly superior?


especially given the obvious fact to anyone who isn't biased that everything america does is clearly objectively better

because socialised medicine
it means our people are able to spell colour and harbour and so on properly
there are probably a few good things about america too
um
I'm given to understand that you have the world's biggest ball of twine?
I suppose you are the country that brought about my little pony, so there must be some value in your rebellious colonial ways

that said

Actually, Studio B is in Vancouver, Canada, so...

the traditional american breakfast of choices is pretty appealing though

It still elude me how you can have a breakfast featuring salted products or meat. I just cannot grasp the appeal of starting the day with a cholesterol filled fried egg and grease soaked bacon.

Now on the other hand, pancakes this I can get behind. Never tasted maple syrup, tho'.

maple syrup is delicious

full english breakfast is amazing
that and meat curries are the only things I actually miss about eating meat
but I mean that's the point of america
filthy deviant frenchmen like you can eat what you want, too!
(just make sure you don't need sprain your wrist lol)

What I remember of my few breakfasts in the UK was that the milk tasted awful. Like, as if someone have diluted petrochemicals in it or something. So I can imagine why you would prefer eating eggs and bacon and reduce your life expectancy to faster reduce the misery that it is to have to live in Britain and have to eat the local food every day of the year.

I do not understand the meaning of this remark.

gah fuck shit
what I meant was make sure you don't need any medical attention
but I edited it halfway through and then got distracted

Lauren Faust and the writers are in LA.

Because you have no soul.

I also don't have 20 kilograms of excess weight


But anyway, I think that in the last three month, I might have taken an actual breakfast around 10-15 times.


That's because these days I usually wake up around 12Am-1PM, and get to start of the day with the midday meal.

Today I had guineafowl cooked with bacon on the oven, with white cabbage on the side. Yum!

By the way, I think one of the reasons I've been able to stay "in shape" while doing very little physical activities these last few month may have had to do with the fact I have only two meals a day.

That's a 13 hour timespan, you know. I think you meant 12PM.

Which is why I am such an advocate of the 24 hour clock. No confusion between 0000 and 1200 at all!

nitpick: there no such thing as 12 am or 12 pm. considering what am and pm actually mean.

its 12 midnight and 12 noon

yeah, fuck your AM/PM bullshit. 24 hours all the way.

mang so i'm watching thundercats (the new one), I thought it'd be lulzy
but it's actually pretty great
it's got robots and shit

That's not limited to America. Britain and Germany have such things. Not sure where we got it from.

Please, for the love of the seven hells and every tortured soul within them, get the real stuff. Not pancake syrup or maple flavored syrup or any of that shit. REAL maple syrup. Personally, I like Grade B when I can get it, but Grade A is the more popular outside of maple producing areas and likely the one you'll find.

Yeah, Germany... I remember seeing them eat their fried eggs and bacon as I was myself eating my cereals, while in Germany.

Funnily enough... there was a segment on the news tonight about French pig farmers protesting against Germany for unfair concurrence, because German pigfarms are literal meat factories, and are able to flood the market with cheap pig meat.

My mother and myself made the remark that it wasn't surprising considering the sheer quantity of pig meat the Germans eat throughout the day.

Seriously, try any German meal, even breakfast, and it's likely you'll find pork sausages, or ham, or... whatever, really, as long its made from pig meat.



No wonder they hated the Jews so much

Really? They have lot's of pork sausage in Germany?

I didn't notice the two times I've been there.

I'm sorry. I'm in a really sarcastic mood tonight.
