  • Fair point, however by your own source:

    although permanent effects in body chemistry can sometimes be seen, as in the case of bone density loss increasing with length of use of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA).

    In men… …side effects of some drugs may include depression, suicidal ideation, hot flashes, anemia, infertility, increase in body fat and higher risks of cardiovascular diseases and osteoporosis.

    In women… …side effects include the deflation of breast glands, expansion of the size of the nipple and shrinking of bone mass.

    My original point was about wrongful conviction but fuck, even if the person is guilty, that is cruel and unusual punishment.

    State enforced depression and suicide ideation? No thanks. That’s Josef Mengele style shit, the Nazi SS Angel of Death


  • I think you’re attacking the wrong people.

    If you’ved lived in the same home for 50 years, brought up children there, made and maintained a garden there, formed a community with your neighbours, would you want to move?

    Old people living in a home with 3 bedrooms instead of 1 is at the very bottom of the list of reasons there’s a housing crisis.

    Businesses owning hundreds of homes, artificially manipulating supply, landlords profiteering and increasing rents every single year, they are far more to blame than a granny who just wants to end her days in the house she’s made home.





  • You know what else can tell you to eat more fiber?

    Paying attention to your shit.

    Is it coming out like curry sauce being shot through a hose? Time to eat more fiber!

    Is it coming out like a large sausage? You get enough fiber.

    This is just another consumerist gimmick, another bullshit thing to get us to buy. More waste inevitably destined for land fill.

    There’s possibly medical usage for this, by doctors, in certain scenarios, but there’s no reason for the general consumer to require this beyond capitalism and consumerism.






  • That’s how anarchy has been portrayed by propaganda media since time immemorial because it scares those in power.

    Anarchy means without hierarchy. That’s it. Rules can still be agreed upon. It just means there isn’t one person, or group of elites, setting and enforcing the rules, but that they’re agreed upon by consensus.

    Just like hierarchical systems, there are many different variations of anarchy. Very few, if any, serious forms call for chaos and everything goes.

    Why? Because it would just lead straight back to Might is Right. “I’m bigger, stronger, more powerful than you, so I’ll make you do as I wish” isn’t a part of anarchist theory.

    Anarchism, despite seeming a simple concept on paper, is a difficult and complicated idea. Not because of the core principles but because humans and human behaviour are weird and hypocritical at times.
