StratGoatCom posted:https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/US-Senate-Passes-NOPEC-Antitrust-Bill.html Kind of sad that the Saudis view us not actively helping them in Yemen anymore and gently telling them to stop, while still selling them anti-missile defense systems at a discount and defending them diplomatically, as a "historic betrayal" worthy of an economic suicide pact. The NOPEC bill would be incredibly difficult to enforce to a meaningful degree and seems like it is primarily a way of telling OPEC the U.S. is annoyed with them.

"Not adding to discussion." - Koos Group How the gently caress do I add to a discussion where some one is literally lying about what I said? So, the conclusion is: mischaracterizing about what someone said is "adding to the discussion" but also saying that's not accurate is "not adding to the discussion." So like discussing things isn't a discussion. The Sean fucked around with this message at 03:09 on May 6, 2022 |

To my view it's not an inherently partisan issue, though obviously the GOP is worse. The issue is that, in the USA, it's reasonably mainstream/common to hold the vile and indefensible position that abortion should be other than fully available to any woman who requests it. Partisan politics ain't helping, but the issue extends far outside that.

Heck Yes! Loam! posted:Some Colorado democrats want to kickstart the drug wars it seems The quote from the politician who's arguing for the guardrails is still maddening. What's the difference between someone possessing oxy, meth, or fentanyl from a legal perspective? What is the benefit of different sentence lengths? This also definitely sounds like a push by police and those sympathetic to them to open back up smelling weed as probable cause.

I mean, obviously they're not operating on logic here, but logically shouldn't they criminalize male masturbation as well? By the logic that IUD's are murder, ejaculation not in a vagina is also explicitly mass murder. And I mean. Isn't a condom also murder? It's the same principal.

Killer robot posted:In addition to what's been said, when the Cold War ended there really was a push to reduce the size and scope of the military. Right-wingers love to talk about Clinton as the one that "gutted it" but he mostly followed a plan GHWB laid out. It's not like the US military ever got small, but after the Soviets collapsed there was a general bipartisan consensus that maybe we didn't have to have so many active duty personnel, so many planes and tanks, lots of other things. Salaries, benefits, and other things that scale directly to active duty forces are a big part of military expenditures too, and those dropped after 1990 and never really came back. how does the military downsize anyways? i imagine there are no layoffs, do they just not replace dischargees? less recruiting? stricter enlistment requirements?

Yeah pretty much all of those. The idea was to transition to a more capable, better trained, much slimmer military since millions of bodies would not be needed to cram into abrams to stop the soviet hordes or w/e in the fulda gap. The early era of that there was a fantasy that everything could be done with SF, which mostly imploded as a concept after Mogadishu. Or at least, that's the conventional wisdom. In practice it just re-enforced that you need more support for SF, but the US military apparatus is still extremely SF oriented, they just doubled down on the combined part of combined arms.

^^^^ thank you goonsir  Professor Beetus posted:IUDs being abortifacients is a common social myth, fertilized eggs fail to implant in the uterine lining at the same rate in women with or without IUDs. the stuff on the wiki page says the copper iuds are 'accepted' to be anti-implantation [of fertilized ovum] quote:Copper-bearing intrauterine device (Cu-IUD). Copper is toxic to the ovum and sperm and thus the copper-bearing intrauterine device (Cu-IUD) is effective immediately after insertion and works primarily by inhibiting fertilisation.9–11 A systematic review on mechanisms of action of IUDs showed that both pre- and postfertilisation effects contribute to efficacy.11If fertilisation has already occurred, it is accepted that there is an anti-implantation effect,12,13 and then this regarding emergency contraception (didnt know this was a thing for iuds) quote:Copper-releasing IUCs which of course is all vague regarding anti-implantation. i didnt know that they primarily worked to inhibit fertilization, do you have more info regarding the rate of failed implantation between the two groups of women?

Vasectomies are great if you don't want more kids but there is a truly staggering amount of misinfo about it just because it's not something widely discussed. - No, a vasc is not physically removing your balls - No, it isn't going to kill your balls either. They still work fine. Things just get re-absorbed - No, it doesn't affect testosterone levels, see above - No, it doesn't make you into a eunuch. - Yes, it is sometimes reversible. - Yes, you are still able to do everything that you could do before. -No, semen is not stored in the balls For all the talk of male focus there is a shocking lack of basic biological literacy. I had someone dear to me ask if after you get snipped if you just push out a puff of air when you orgasm because they thought semen was 100% liquid sperm. When I asked them why sperm counts would be necessary then they just kind of bluescreened.
