I have a friend who works in the medical field who insists that's it's easily reversible. I'm not comfortable with him getting vasectomy but... It's his choice in life. He said if he really wants children he'll adopt.

It's also the go-to "oh definitely get it if you don't like condoms it's no problem at all", and it's also being recommended for my relationship. I don't want to make my man go under the knife unless he absolutely wants it for himself, so why is this being nudged at us? I'm not comfortable with that.

There are a couple of things that I’ve noticed increasingly being talked about and promoted as if they’re either no big deal, inevitable or need to be done to save us from catastrophe.

  • Vasectomies.
  • Insects as food.
  • Childlessness.
  • Vegetarianism/Veganism.
  • Diversity/Multiculturalism/“illegal immigrants welcome”.

We all know that those things are only for the plebs, the elites will just continue as before; just look at all those sanctimonious cunts flying private jets to environmental conferences and events.

Insects as food

This is funny. Here in Mexico we do eat some insects, like grasshoppers (chapulines) as a snack, but there's no way they would replace all the meat we also get to eat.

This is what I keep thinking! Like, in order to actually live on a diet of insects, you'd have to eat ENTIRE BOWLS of 'em! For multiple meals! Every day! Who the hell would (or could) do THAT? Plus, how much nutrition do you get out of an insect? Including calories? Not much, I'm guessing, at least for a non-insectivore species like us humans. Sorry, wokesters, we just didn't evolve to subsist on bugs. Probably the same people advocating this who think that veganism for cats (or, yanno, humans), and low-fat diets for babies, are also a good idea.

They make bug patties out of midges in some places, but the conditions that allow for enough of those for meals only occurs maybe once(for a few days) in an entire growing season. Then it's back to cooking roots and catching fish.

Anyways, we already effectively eat huge insects in the form of crustaceans(crabs, lobsters, shrimp, crawdads). And those are actually big enough to give decent output(protein, fat) for our inputs(fuel, labour, tech). So the bug-eating advocates can go enjoy their delicious Cockroach Milk with Crunchy Grasshopper Biscuits, and I'll have to contend with my Spicy Seafood Gumbo🍲

Vasectomies, just like any of the other surgeries that are frequently talked about in here, is something that you have to be 100% sure you want to do and understand the consequences of.

I have a friend who works in the medical field who insists that's it's easily reversible.

Where did I hear that before?!

It looks like the mindset that surgery is some kind of magical procedure devoid of any consequences is not a troon-only thing.

No, sadly it's not.

"Nudge" is the right word. You heard of Cass Sunstein?

No, I have not.
