The best is to get them half regular, half tossed in buffalo sauce. Also, Publix has these new microwaveable meals that look pretty decent. Going to try the red curry chicken tonight. Will report back with results.

"Sex is like boxing: if both people didn't fully agree to participate, one of them is committing a crime." is such a fantastic quote. Consent is an infuriatingly unappreciated concept and anything to push people toward understanding is great.

Wegmans is good and the Giants around here have made an effort to compete with the Wegmans on that front. Neither one of them goes nutso on the organic produce etc thing, but they typically have a couple local organic offerings in the produce section and a decently large organics section that you can totally just walk by if you want to.

Did anyone get the impression that Oliver was a bit 'off' during this episode? It seemed some of his presentation was out of rhythm or something. Just a minor observation.

Maybe he wanted his show to be not as good in contrast to Stewart's last show out of deference?

I guess I didn't notice that anything was off. Most of my attention was processing the cynicism of a company making a "good sex ed video" and a "judgmental sex ed video" for different markets.

I worked in the deli in college and if you worked there full time they had amazing benefits, plus they did profit sharing and all kinds of incentives. If I had to get a job and I only had a high school degree, Publix would be the place to go. I think now they even pay for you to get a degree if you want to move up to corporate and stuff too.

My Canadian high school/middle school sex ed was really informative. We told were that the hymen is not a good indicator for virginity and you can get pregnant despite not having PiV sex. Consent was also discussed a fair bit too. There wasn't much about gay sex IIRC, but that's because most students probably didn't want to be outed/mistaken for gay.

My sex-ed caused me more harm than good. I started proudly correcting anyone that referred to seeing a Vagina in say, a movie as a Vulva (which I suppose is technically correct). The only problem being, I called it a "Volvo". Much embarrassment was had.

Someone was making a joke about a hymen once, my friend didn't get it we all looked at him and asked him if he knew what a hymen was he was late 20s at the time. He told us "I don't know what a hymen is because I don't watch anime!!" he was 100% serious, Sex-ed is really bad in the south.

I think the point more is that yes, you can technically get pregnant from anal/oral depending on how aggressive your post-sex hygiene is , but bringing it up even as a stat point puts undue weight on the likeliness of it happening like sure, you can technically get pregnant even if you use condoms correctly and responsibly, at the correct time to prevent pre-ejaculate from leaking - it's "only" 99.7% effective with all those precautions in place. Is it likely? No, but even stating that during sexual education courses makes it imply that condoms are, as opposed to being a literal free pass for consequence-free sexual intercourse when used correctly like they actually are, a faulty and irresponsible choice prone to failure just as often as success we had an abstinence only sex ed douchebag teach p much exactly that, the dude went on and on about how the trucks that they carry condoms to drugstores aren't refrigerated correctly and that "real" failure rates of condoms are as high as 25%- that means if you have sex four times, even with condoms, you're BOUND to get pregnant!

They had a girl come in to talk to the class about safe sex because she had gotten pregnant in high school. She also said that they used a condom, but before they used a condom there was some genital contact and possibly even some "just the tip". The point she was trying to make, and did so rather effectively, that you can get pregnant from pre-cum and such, and that if you are relying on condoms for birth control, there should be no genital to genital contact without one, and you also need to be careful with hygiene, like don't fingerblast yourself after giving a handy.

Included was a vice-principal's wife doing a demonstration where she pulled in a trash barrel from the hallway, "this is a pore in a typical condom", and a basketball, "this is a to-scale size of an HIV virus", THUNK. The moral: don't bother with condoms, kids. Also included was a section where we passed around models of fetuses at different stages of development and as little discussion of actual sex as possible. The teacher also only ever taught that one year, because she went to convent after breaking up with the quadriplegic junior-level theology teacher.

My formal sexual education comprised entirely of a 5th grade class over the span of a couple of weeks, where we went into great detail on the anatomy of the male and female reproductive system, as well as the stages of pregnancy. At no point was sexual intercourse mentioned; it was just 'here's how all of the plumbing works, yada yada here's how pregnancy works.' At the time I knew that the 'yada yada' was something referred to as sex (or more often as S-E-X, like they were trying to hide candy from a toddler), but that was the extent of my knowledge. Being the curious little poo poo that I was, I raised my hand and inquired "how exactly does a man get a woman pregnant?" The teacher blurted out 'They have SEX!' with all of the composure of someone who had just spent hours under CIA interrogation, immediately scolded me for trying to disrupt the class, and then moved on to the lesson plan. I was so hurt by the reprimand for simply asking a question on the subject that I never asked anyone again. Middle and high school sex education was literally non-existent, which I suppose is better than abstinence-only education. And for the record, this wasn't a rural school system; this was in a major city in the region (Charlotte, NC), and my middle and high schools were magnet schools specifically for Math, Science, and Technology. I had to learn what sexual intercourse actually was via a PBS program on the subject, which my parents made me turn off the moment the crudely illustrated 'penis enter vagina' diagram appeared (my parents also gave me zero sex-ed, so gently caress any politician who declares that it's the parent's responsibility and not the school's). Everything else I learned via the Internet in the middle of the night (blessed be the dial-up modem), which in hindsight is pretty unacceptable considering the potential ramifications of the matter.

Pompous Rhombus posted:I honestly wonder how many sex-ed classes these days go somewhere along the lines of "We looked this stuff up on Google on our own ages ago, why are you wasting our time with this?" Probably fewer than you'd think. Even with stuff like wikipedia on hand it's not always something people are going to go out of their way to look up, and depending on how they were raised a lot of the accurate information online might conflict with the cultural mores their parents passed down to them. Also, a lack of context, vocabulary, or not even knowing what questions to ask can limit the amount of understand they can glean, despite having all of the raw information at their fingertips. Like, check out the teen pregnancy rates in some of the southern states that heavily favor abstinence education. Presumably most of those kids have access to the internet, and look at all the good it did them.

Remember that people, and especially kids, in general will not research things before doing them. This goes for home repairs, cooking, or doing stuff on a computer but also drugs, drinking, and sex. Otherwise you could just close all schools and say "hey, the info is out there somewhere, good luck!".

You'll find porn before you find useful information. Say you're 15 and find a few paragraphs about using a condom and the risk of STDs. Do you read it? I don't put the odds high. Instead say you stumble onto pornhub. Guess where a week of your summer vacation is going? Guess what you're going to want to do when school starts? The internet as a whole isn't as geared toward clear informative help. Porn isn't really educational.
