  • I would ask what problem you are trying to solve.

    It doesnt sound like youre in a long term relationship as you dont mention a partner, and i figure that youre straight or leaning that way as this wouldnt be an issue otherwise.

    So likely you will be meeting women, and having sex, in which case you should be using protection anyways.

    A woopsie baby certainly wouldnt be fun, but as long as you’re in the developed parts of the world (not including most of the US) there are other means of birth control (his and hers) that still leaves you the option without making a permanent decision right now.

    Im also hoping that the surgery is free or covered by something otherwise it might end up being a very pointless expense.

    Im 33, i never even thought about kids at 22. I dont have any and im pretty meh on it but id never have made a decision like that when i was your age. Things change.

    Hope this helps.








  • I needed to make an account recently, if you make it via a proper computer you get this and it sends it as an “appeal”… Which means they werent clever enough to separate new account creation from actual appeals. So of course what happens is it goes to some call center in some poor part of the world where they’re not smart enough to know the difference or dont care, they hit deny and you get perma banned.

    This is not the same if you sign up via an app, which is amazingly stupid but whatever.

    Ironically i learned about this by watching youtube videos for scammers on how to make fake facebook accounts.

    Of course i immediately uninstalled the app, because i dont want that cancer on my phone.







  • Its not a good thing but I dont think it will really gaslight the public. The average persons understanding of if their countries economy is doing well or not boils down to “do i feel richer or poorer than last election?”

    Despite what some might think of bidenomics, which showed by most traditional metrics that the US economy was improving and recovering well from the pandemic, people still felt the economy was doing poorly because they felt poor… Because a lot of people now are poorer than previous generations. Which of course those tradtitional metrics dont really take into account that people get paid fuck all now, but my point is just that the official numbers dont mean a lot to the average voter.



  • It doesnt matter if there is a backup plan… Canada is the only G7 nation with a free trade agreement with every other G7 nation (not sure about the uk post brexit). Between Harper and Tredeau Canada has been negotiating and signing deals with dozens of other countries. Possibly… in preparation for this.

    I agree with you that reducing internal barriers is important, but where i disagree is that you cant just magically move trade as a country. Its up to each individual business. And despite the americans being shitty they still have a the worlds largest economy and our natural trading partner as they are right there, thats just geography, it makes shipping easier.

    Its like brexit, the UK wanted to negotiate their own trade deals. Cool. Europe is still their largest trading partner, all they managed to do was fuck themselves… Oh and sign a trade deal with austrailia worth 0.3% of their GDP.

    What makes more sense to me is increasing public investment and having people in Canada build things, the idea economy is so much more important than digging shit out of the ground, or renting out things that sit on top of it. Actively working to replace the technologies that we are reliant on the US for.
