I vaguely support eugenics when it comes to prevalent genetic diseases.

If you have an incurable genetic disorder and choose to have children I judge you with the utmost disgust at your reckless selfishness.

Condemning another person to suffer as you have for the sake of “fulfillment”

I absolutely agree as somebody with a debilitating genetic disorder. Both my mother and grandmother have debilitating insomnia to the extent of having seizures after not being able to sleep for 4 to 5 days. My grandmother passed at 70 and was “glad to die”

Lack of sleep also contributes to dementia, which my mother is dealing with early onset, at 63.

I want children but will definitely be adopting, at least until I can confirm I won’t spread that mutation. Personally I have delayed circadian rhythm but have not yet encountered severe insomnia. Both of their insomnia symptoms began after menopause, so we’ll see if I get it at all.

Both of my sisters also struggle with maintaining a circadian rhythm as well.

in reddits terms, Wear Cat/Bunny ears to highschool school and then complain about getting rape threats because of it.

Yes I did receive quite a bit of backlash on reddit for just- wanting to wear a fucking headband. With some even saying It warranted the bullying or that it was deserved or that I should expect it. Bullying is one thing, I was referring to rape threats and straight up harassment.

In physics lab we had 2 linear polarizers and by varying their relative angle, could polarize or block all light.

I also used a circular polarizer, but that didn’t feel as polarizing to me.

Why not… Three linear polarizers?

Then you can really do some field reorientation

… Come to think of it, why not four or five?

There is no what about female circumcision. There is nothing controversial about it. It IS mutilation.

I definitely agree that it’s mutilation. I was pointing out the whataboutism that occurs every time someone talks about male circumsision.

What’s interesting about that one is that as best I can tell, it’s only millennials who got caught up on this. Gen X didn’t care and as best I can tell, Zoomers don’t either.

The most vitriolic responses were from fathers who don’t want to admit they mutilated their sons.

prosecuting hateful speech is a very slippery slope. It effectively gives the government the authority to decide what speech is allowed, which can’t end well.
