This is so weird, I just read a comment on Lemmy where someone said they should do exactly this.

They are almost all rechargeable where I live (US) because there’s more juice in them than one charge will handle.

You totally can. I don’t know exactly what the laws are because it’s intentionally not clear but it’s the same process as before, order from a diy website, it comes in the mail, make your stuff at home. I think the difference is that it’s harder for websites to get the license to sell it but there are still some sites out there.

I agree but not because it’s “trends” but because this system forces us to have short attention spans by presenting us with a massive deluge of information about horrible things happening everywhere (many of which are caused either directly or indirectly by that very system) so we have basically no choice but to keep shifting our focus and updating our threat assessments or risk becoming totally overwhelmed and falling behind or burning out.

Thanks! 😊

Anyone know how to bypass the paywall on this site? Keep seeing it but then inevitably running into the “sign in to read” barrier

“We are not the same” I think is what you meant to say

No shit, I would genuinely love a source for this. You may be joking or exaggerating at least but whatever the case nothing would surprise me about this POS.

WTF is that supposed to mean? First of all Asperger’s is named after a literal Nazi, we don’t call it that anymore. Second of all, plenty of autistic people have kids and relationships and are very happy. This comes off ableist as fuck

Spoiler alert: they’re secret for a reason. The reason is so he doesn’t have to deal with them.

Enshittification

Don’t forget after! Man I hate that when I have to sit through an ad if I don’t realize the video is all the way over yet, or I don’t change it in time

I know, it’s actually much older than that but it still drives me crazy when people say that for some reason.

That’s not the definition of insanity.

Yes in my experience and the experience of many others. See this recent example:

I know you’re joking but there are size restrictions on condoms in the US where I live, so no they don’t.

Edit: also, body shaming is gross.

Agree. There’s nothing we can do to bring back the ability to look up harm reduction information for drug users, for example.

Condoms don’t work for everyone’s body.

Edit: to be clear I’m saying it’s not that simple. There should be more options for anyone with a penis to be able to handle this important implication of having sex. For anyone in general, more options are always good.

Right? I’m at the point where I can’t possibly fathom the thought process of bringing a child into this world.

This covered a lot of my concerns and thoughts on the topic. I want these people to be able to seek help and possibly even have a legal outlet that is not harming anyone, i.e. not even someone who has to view that shit for a living, so maybe we get AI to do it? IDK. It’s complicated but I believe that it’s similar to having an addiction in some ways and should be treated as a health issue, assuming they haven’t hurt anyone and want help. This is coming from someone with health issues including addiction and also someone who is very empathetic and sympathetic to any and all struggles of folks who are just trying to live better.
