The problem is that the locals cannot find housing themselves. Laws like this protect the common people of Amsterdam at the expense of the flat owners inalienable right to exploit them

Your partner can also kill you in your sleep, life is never a guarantee

This guy was talking about female contraceptions, not condoms

dingdongbing | 4 years ago | on: COSO, an ultrasound-based and reversible approach to male contraception

We have tested methods of birth control for women. We have untested and/or not as effective and/or not as safe methods for men. These methods also alter your hormones, the testicles are where the male hormones are produced. (We also have condoms guys)

The "important problem" should be to have _even safer_ birth control, not male birth control.

What kind of relationship do you think you're building without any trust and explicitly telling your partner you don't trust her by both of you using contraceptives?

Let the fairer sex have some power

Actually I've had it happen quite a few times, but it's been my own fault every time either for using condoms that were too thin or the wrong size when I first started using condoms or being drunk when putting them on.

Finally a real answer, and not an increase of 2% chance of blood clots for a certain type of contraceptive pill.

But this doesn't make a difference either because now the man can stop going to the ball blasting session.

The main issue is trust, and why are you having unprotected sex with people you don't trust in the first place?

The increased risk is very slight, and there are contraceptive pills without estrogen which do not have any increased risk at all.

It does say that the baby's and the mother's health could be in danger, but where does it say it's often life threatening?

Never heard about an IUD failing at all so thanks for the link anyhow

dingdongbing | 4 years ago | on: COSO, an ultrasound-based and reversible approach to male contraception

Use condoms.

>don't they get the right to be squeamish about having an IUD or their hormones altered?

IUD exist without any hormones, and taking hormones generally are safe and extemely well tested. Saying "hormones altered" shows your bias, and you don't think blasting your balls with heat "alters" your hormones? Certainly men who get vasectomies produce less testosterone.

It's 98% for one year according to the NHS.

IUDs dont fail, and certainly a guy can miss his ball heating session or stop without the partners knowledge.

dingdongbing | 4 years ago | on: COSO, an ultrasound-based and reversible approach to male contraception

Why is it an important problem? We have hormonal and non-hormonal UIDs, many different types of pills, rings, and not to mention _condoms_ which actually prevents STDs. I don't have a problem with other guys heating their balls up, but where is the important problem?

dingdongbing | 4 years ago | on: Finland joins Sweden and Denmark in limiting Moderna Covid-19 vaccine

Well you did surprise me, I didnt expect Finland and Norway to be so low. Although these along with Iceland are outliers in Europe to say the least and Sweden is well in the middle. The baltics is comparable to Sweden.

But the reason we have more deaths than our neighbours is not because of no lockdowns, Finland was also very lenient. A _massive_ proportion of all of our deaths were from the nursing homes. The thing we did really bad was to not have any way to check the workers in the nursing homes for covid, which they did in Norway I know for sure and very likely in Finland. Had we done that then we likely would have the same as our neighbours, but don't pin it on lockdowns, they DON'T work.

Give me any country in Europe and I'll show you when their rates were 10 times higher. Corona hits mostly in waves, the only worthwhile numbers to compare are the totals over the entire pandemic, not a specific period. We certainly wouldn't "sacrifice" our citizens for the economy.

dingdongbing | 4 years ago | on: Firefox Now Sends Your Address Bar Keystrokes to Mozilla

I honestly believe that the leaders at Mozilla are actively trying to ruin Firefox, and are perhaps paid off/run by people with interests in another competing browser. Even if that's the case I can't keep using this shitty browser, Chromium here I come

dingdongbing | 4 years ago | on: Finland joins Sweden and Denmark in limiting Moderna Covid-19 vaccine

>Except your scientist(s) were wrong this time and killed 10 times more people by not implementing quick and mild restrictions and letting the disease spread.

This is the dumbest hunk of shit I've ever heard. We have the exact same death rates and infection rates as the rest of Europe.

dingdongbing | 4 years ago | on: Finland joins Sweden and Denmark in limiting Moderna Covid-19 vaccine

There is not a political component to this, we (Sweden) have probably the most objective and science based Health system in the world. For this reason we get criticized by other nations for not having lockdowns and not wearing masks, there is no indication that these actually work and they probably cause more harm than good. Our leaders have shown great competence to follow the science and not make a knee-jerk reaction to what France and America are doing.

If Moderna is clearly worse than Pfizer, then why shouldn't we stop it?

dingdongbing | 4 years ago | on: Finland joins Sweden and Denmark in limiting Moderna Covid-19 vaccine

That's actually not true, people who got the first dose of moderna will not get a second one, and it's being stopped for all persons under 30, not just males. In practice it will be stopped for everyone above 30 as well. /Swede
