  • I do stuff like this all the time. Like if i bought a pool i wanted to estimates how much water it needes to estimate all the follow up costs, if i am cooking something i often switch between kg and g, if am measuring things i switch between cm, m and mm depending on what i am currently measuring all the time. E.g. i needed a new working plate in my kitchen, i wanted it precut to fit exactly in after moving some cabinets while still aligning the sink. The whole space was measured in meters, but the individual cuts were all measured in milimeters. I was able to do all of that in 5 minutes with one piece of paper for sketching and my head. (And it fitted down to the milimeter in the end).






  • ITT: Blatant ableism disguised as concerns.

    Should you be allowed to have children if you are a known carrier of some bad but not inmediatly deadly risk gene like fragile x, chorea huntington, mucoviszidosis, diabetes 1 (let’s ignore the worsening of fragile x and chorea huntingtion across generations for a moment)? Should you be allowed to have children if you have trisomie 21, or some other mental disability? If you say no i think you are ableist and can’t comprehend that people with special needs are still people that can be happy and can have desires. If you say yes why can’t two cousins have a child? What if they have two forms of birth control and just want to fuck? What if they are the same sex? I my experience most people who are against two cousins having sex do not give a flying fuck about some theoretical chile but just think it’s icky. Which is a fair feeling you are allowed to have but should not be basis for a law.











  • I was not the one who wrote the 50% statement, but no worries.

    Your statement was,“Fully reversable if you ever want kids,” and that is simply not true. I am not saying that i know better than licensed physicans i am saying that the actual data that you just posted agrees with me. A vasectomy may be reversible, if you decide for it in less than three years it may even be likely. But if you decide for a vasectomy you should not consider that as an viable option because the chances are not very good.

    Conpared to the OPs statements, a vasectomy is a far better choice That heavily depends, if you are in a relationship and 100% to someday have kids a vasectomy is the worse choice cause it lowers your chances of achieving that dream (according tou your sources after just three years 30-50%…).

    the woman suffer a full surgery with abdominal pains and scar tissue with a tubal ligation. Yeah, okay buddy.

    This i a strawman argument and you should know that. Not once have i argued for a tubual ligitation as a viable alternative for a reversible procedure. I am glad to discuss everything but let’s try to maintain some good discussion conventions and not just imagine new arguments.

    Edit: from your source “Even if sperm return, pregnancy rates are lower (30-70%) and depend on partner’s fertility as well.” So one in three people wont be able to conceive in the realistic best case scenario.
