  • Not disclosing HIV status is classified as sexual violence and a heavy crime in many jurisdictions that can land a person in prison for over 10 years.

    A person cannot consent to something they are not aware of, and purposefully not disclosing HIV status can change the course of a persons entire life or kill them.

    Also the Hep -C comparison is a terrible one. Damage such as whats mentioned happens only with long term infection without treatment. Same with STDs such as syphillis. HIV is incurable, will cause severe damage in the stages it is normally caught, even if the person uses all options that medicine has, and will irrevocably change their lives. Also, they can now spread it to other people unknowingly. Comparing HIV to other STD’s is a Coughing Baby v Hydrogen Bomb scenario.

    Also HIV antivirals can cost from 700-4000 dollars A MONTH, for a person with HIV. The medicine is rare, difficult to develop, and must be fine tuned to each person or they not work. What if a person cannot afford this? Or they are in an area that doesn’t have access to that extremely rare medication?

    ALL STDs should be disclosed.

  • Guerrilla warfare, partisans, and any warfare that doesn’t directly engage the main enemy force.

    Asymmetrical warfare is not terrorism. But terrorism can be asymmetrical.

  • Because 5000 swears a minute is terrible comedy and gets grating quickly. Swearing can be hilarious and can be used for great emphasis, but not in every single sentence, multiple times a sentence. It’s just tiring.

  • We should trust the US about who actually perpetuated 9/11 too :3

    They’re very trustworthy!

  • Wow, it was almost a year till I joined? I remember lurking on the Reddit for two years, then lurking here without an account for almost a year to test the waters. Time flies.

  • Lemmygrad premium currency microtransactions when?

  • This is extremely AI generated. The background is bizarre to say the least, random artifacts, random gibberish on the patches, the lapel patch looks like a bizarre bastardification of the Imperial Russian emblem, and that had to be the most fucked up looking RPK I’ve ever seen. Why is there a piece of wood jutting out of the fire selector?

    Fuck AI “art”.

  • Bring back tenement buildings!!!! We need them!!!! I love capitalist “efficiency”!!!

  • Yes it does. A name inherently defines the characteristics of whatever it’s being used for. For example, the names your mother calls me during sex defines the intrinsic nature of our relationship, that is me being the oppressive dom authority figure (because I’m a tankie), and her the submissive proletariat.

  • In that case, why do they call it oven when you of in the cold food of out hot eat the food?

  • If you bake a cake and you have this magnificent idea in your head; do you gather all the ingredients and then presto magic you have a beautiful cake in front of you? Or is there some sort of process that’s missing? Some sort of transitionary period?

    There’s a reason it’s called Marxist-Leninism too, older works can be superseded or reanalyzed by newer works in a more refined context.

  • “Becuase Carl Mank is whatever I say he is. Have I ever read his work? No. But I’m sure he said something similar to my position somewhere.”

  • They already did this. There’s a old conservative meme that did the rounds where there are two pictures, one labeled “Cuba” and the other “US” where they switch which is which to make them think it’s a “communism bad” meme.

  • Do you guys wonder if they allowed Navalny to run against Putin, and Putin got 55% of the vote while Navalny got 45% of the vote; would liberals still laugh, cope, and seethe at the “rigged Russian elections”? Despite that being identical to how western elections look?

  • You can go. Literally no one cares. Just fly to Miami and get a separate flight to Cuba, the local airline will even give you a tourist visa to fill out mid-flight.

    The “ban” is completely superficial to deter tourism agencies and airlines from organizing mass tourism in Cuba, and it’s a declaration by the Department of State that if anything happens that you are on your own and they will not help you with anything should something go wrong.

  • Isn’t this pretty common? When traveling, backpacking, homeless, or without general access to a washing machine; isn’t it fairly common for people to dump their clothes in a bathtub with some detergent and then scrub and mix them around?

    That’s what I always did at least. Does the same thing as a machine just a lot more tiring.

    Good to hear you’re no longer in that situation though.

  • Also happens in Starship Troopers. All the veterans are missing limbs and are confined to wheelchairs, crutches, arm slings; as prosthetics are all but unheard of because they are perversely proud and happy to have gotten their disfigurements and disabilities.

  • Christianity be like...

    Jump
  • While the message isn’t wrong per say, this is some r/atheist level garbage. Really man?

    Also “religious malding”? Did you think people are going to rabidly attack you for this take? Even the devout Christians here will probably just think this is cringe at worst and move on.
