Toques are great :)

Are people advocating for a baby to make their own decisions being serious? Have you ever been with a baby? They cant make decisions lol.

You cant take away consent from babies.

Because there are minor benefits, and I dont care as much as you do about clutching my pearls over performing medicine when it comes to babies, a thing we do in many many other circumstances. Babies dont have bodily autonomy and never have.

I dont see why you are so confused by this. Minor benefits. Medical procedure. People can choose to have it done or not for their children. Just like any medical procedure. you believe its some horrible thing. I believe its a Tuesday. Thats the difference here. You have spent a million words arguing anything but that for sone reason, desperate to find something you can prove wrong.

The projection here is insane. You literally invented that I claimed circumcision solved major problems, then tried to use the lack of the existence of major problems as a reason I was wrong.

Theres no scattershot; Ive been pretty clear this entire fucking time that it has the minor benefits of lowering STI and penile cancer occurence. I was reminded of phimosis and other rare issues caused by having a foreskin, because someone else brought it up. Thats it. Thats the entirety of my points. So scattershot, clearly.

Why would there be a phimosis epidemic? What the fuck are you talking about? Its a fairly rare condition. Not circumcising doesnt create an epidemic.

The problem still exists, and the medical consensus is literally that circumcision does have minor benefits. No amount of you trying to handwave that away or outright lie about it is going to change that.

Read your own link. Some
causes of phimosis may be prevented via good hygiene. Some. May. Other causes include scarring, infection unrelated to bad hygiene, literal diabetes as is said in the link, and just straight up bad luck because it was pulled back too forcefully. Thank god you didnt just find the first thing that sort of agreed with you and tossed it out like a shield, or you might look silly.

Do you guys ever get sick of being objectively wrong? Youd think if you did, youd modify your behavior, maybe pay more attention, do more research.

You didnt actually ready what they said, did you? Theyre talking about phimosis. There is no basic hygiene to fix the issue theyre discussing.

Phimosis may be prevented by good hygiene.

You NEED to circumcize your kid. Can't risk getting phimosis and having your kid think it's normal until adulthood then gotta get adult circumcision which will leave really noticeable scars unless he can some how not get a boner which he probably can't prevent with stuff like morning wood, seeing an attractive person, etc. Plus with phimosis you can't clean well in there and it will be painful to try to retract the skin

And nobody has ever genuinely said "oh I wish I still had my foreskin"

Both are necessary pieces of skin that can be removed with no problem.

Explain skin tags

Free healthcare is absolutely going to make it less likely for you to spread STIs. Please use your brain.

as for the rest of what you said, more assumptions about me personally and armchair psychology. Shush.

His weaponization of the law prevents him from being fully chaotic, but his constant breaking of the law and sowing of chaos prevents him from being lawful. Neutral Evil unquestionably.

All I can think of is the awful track record of the FBI when it comes to identifying extremism, Hasan Piker, a popular Twitch streamer who often streams while playing video games under the handle HasanAbi, says of the mechanisms. Theyre much better at finding vulnerable teenagers with mental disabilities to take advantage of.

LMAO

Cool pretending to be a psychologist you did there. Im not defensive about it at all; I legitimately am glad it was done and feel better off, personally. You can believe whatever you want, but its a story youre telling yourself.

Ive said multiple times I dont know much about the experience of having a foreskin, because I dont have one, and can only speak on what others have told me.

The only thing Ive said that may be objectively wrong that I didnt get from uncircumcised friend and women who have been with uncircumcised men was that the glans shouldnt be eternally moist; I was talking more about dampness, water, sweat, etc, but I was surprised to find uncircumcised penises actually secrete what is essentially mucus, which I presume is what the other guy meant. (Although that is less a function of the foreskin and more the glans, the foreskin does keep the mucus membrane from keratinizing, so in a roundabout way it keeps it moist, in terms of gross dick mucus.)

the incidence of HIV and STDS isnt wildly different between these two counties so clearly circumcising has no impact has been addressed MULTIPLE times already. That isnt how that works. You cant possibly draw that conclusion, many factors affect those rates. Europe has public health care, but by your logic, that has zero effect on std spread, despite the fact thats obviously not true.

Also, nobody has ever said it was a huge impact. Its a minor benefit.

No, Im comparing an elective surgery to an elective surgery. If youre against one because of consent and not being necessary youre against all of them. The HPV vaccine isnt a necessity for children. ( it you should get it.) Cleft lip and other surgeries arent medically necessary for all children.

Im not the one making blanket statements to justify my opposition to something here. Im just point out its silly to make those blanket statements, which you clearly
agree with given you understand these things arent the same.

So youre against all nonessential medical
procedures that change the body for anyone under 18? So you oppose cleft lip being fixed when its not medically necessary? Braces? Vaccines? Any sort of surgery to correct a disability or deformity? Or do you have some other threshold thats lesser than necessary?

if youre rich and you can pretty much get any girl you want?

No arguments as usual.

Star wars fans fell on their own sword long ago. Im a huge fan but the fanbase is incorrigible.

No one is talking about a penis cancer epidemic. Just the actual fact that circumcision reduces the change of penile cancer. Those are not the same thing. You are employing a bad faith false equivalency. Similarly, literally no one has advocated for not washing dicks and not using condoms. You are straight up lying.

It becomes more apparent youre just trying to be inflammatory in your next paragraph where you insanely start talking about kids and attraction, because literally what the hell is wrong with you? What kind of shit is going on in your head that your mind made that fucking bananas leap in logic?

This is just a weird way to argue what is essentially the same thing. What you're saying is equivalent to sticking to a particular model of car when discussing the general concept of cars. Like, never mind that Drake's equation was for our galaxy; the equation isn't the point and there's no obligation to use it as the lens to view the concept.

You feel confident that no factor in the drake equation has any probability of being 0?

Who are they even talking about? The bad one is probably Popo, but I wouldnt call Commander Black a good character. The only other one I can think of is that unnamed teacher people were jokingly shipping with Picolo.

That's because there is no alien technology.

Lmao no.

Theres two entire scripts for TROS. TLJ left the next guy with the bad guys and the good guys unified and clesrly defined.

To say there's nothing to work with just means you aren't capable of writing a story. It had everything to work with and thats why there's too scripts.

They just got a lesser director than RJ to do it.

TLJ is the best of the sequels easily.

I know you mean well here but I'm positive they rather live their lives with you still here with the money y'all currently have than the scenario where you're gone forever but they have 25 million dollars.

RoS deserves more sympathy in that regard. It had to try and pick up the pieces, whereas what TLJ tried was a terrible idea to begin with.

Would have been nice if before producing the first one they had a single director locked in to do all three. Then it might not have become a train wreck.

Why the fuck would they go to Russia to celebrate New Years. Could have hit China and had a real NY celebration without getting drafted.

I'm sure we'll all look back fondly on the small victories when Palestine is completely wiped off the map. Sorry if I don't seem enthusiastic about these "wins".

Would be a better idea to cease all weapons sales to Israel immediately

No that's a military base to continue to occupy Gaza. But in a less savage and bad PR open genocide way that Israel is handling it

that guy probably got sent to the front lines too
