US women are being jailed for having miscarriages -BBC 2021
  • Tell me you understand nothing about the risks of pregnancy without telling me.

    Natural miscarriages =/= abortions.

    One is planned, controlled for, with after care. The other one can potentially lead to sepsis and death.

  • Great! So glad I'm responsible for building schools, teaching, paving roads, making baby formula, developing vaccines, providing neonatal care, being a pediatrician, providing daycare, being a dentist, being a pharmacist, growing food, being a bus driver, and more!

    Or does the word 'infrastructure' not exist in your vocabulary?

    Processed meat refers to meat that has been transformed through salting, curing, fermentation, smoking, or other processes to enhance flavour or improve preservation. Most processed meats contain pork or beef, but processed meats may also contain other red meats, poultry, offal, or meat by-products such as blood.

    Before anyone asks, no, 'salt' doesn't refer to sodium chloride in this context but rather curing salt or sodium nitrite.

    'Unprocessed ham' is just a consumer term for 'uncured ham', which ironically is still cured, just with sodium chloride and not sodium nitrite. But sure let's pretend every 'Ma'am' asking for nitrite-free ham is just a homeopathic dunce asking for the non-existent.

  • one world
  • Guarantee you if we magically eliminated borders world war 3 would erupt the next day as countries desperately redraw them.

    Good idea in principle, but not feasible in this day and age. Humans are simply not sociologically advanced enough to sustain that kind of political venture. For starters, humans produce more than enough food to feed the world and yet food insecurity is rampant even in countries with excess.

    Open borders will happen when the rest of humanity's shit has been sorted out, not the other way around.

  • Korean President Yoon sits idly by as Japan tears down memorial to Korean forced laborers
  • I think these kinds of comments are harmful to the discourse because there a good deal of nuance missing.

    For one, it's pretty reductive to call them 'Japanese who've done bad things' when who you're talking about is dead or on their death beds. That's not who the monument is for or about.

    Historical monuments aren't for attributing the sins of grandparents to their grandchildren. It's about humanzing the victims and teaching people of this generation what was allowed to happen in the past. It's about teaching them the dangers of complacency and the complicit nature of being a bystander.

    If it's worth anything, 4,300 people signed a petition against the removal and many protested in person.

    Yes, Japanese people as a whole are severely lacking when it comes to acknowledging the atrocities committed by their country. No, Japanese people today are not personally responsible for them. The better we are at separating acknowledgement from responsibility, the easier time we will have convincing people to remember them.
