    Also I'd recommend getting the no scalpel procedure if you aren't. Probably fine either way but I've read there's a greater chance of complications/longer recovery if you get an incision

    Follow whatever instructions they give you when it comes to waiting on exercise/sex. In the moment it'll definitely feel fine, but you will be punished later. Speaking from experience lol.

    Also icing before bed is good, also buying extra ice packs is probably a good idea (4 was a good number for me, but you can always just return them later so get a lot).

    Also, if there isn't anyone around to help after, try to set things up so that everything's within reach of the couch when you get back. I had help, but they couldn't be around for the entire recovery period, so yeah keep the essentials close by.

    Oh and there's probably going to be dried blood in your ejaculate the first few times so take whatever precautions you need to/don't freak out.

    As far as my experience, I wasn't one of the fast recovery period guys. But even then it wasn't too bad, I just moved around and did things carefully, tried not to push it (ex. going on long walks without very supportive underwear). I'd sometimes have discomfort after sex, but that was usually my fault if you know what I mean. It's hard for me to place exactly when I felt totally normal, but I'd say within a month or two I stopped having to be careful about the way I did things. But that's just me, and I did have an injury back in the day that may have been the reason why it took me a minute to feel totally normal.







  • Castro did send a message to Moscow indicating he was willing to sacrifice the island to nuke the US, but I think it's pretty clear he was just frustrated with the fact that the USSR and US weren't involving Cuban leadership enough in general, and was basically just trying to get Moscow's attention. At least that's what I remember, it's been a long time since I read about it though


  • I used to live in a rural area with a lot of small farms and there was this loophole where you'd pay a company for partial ownership of a cow, and then they'd deliver raw milk to you. This was their way around laws prohibiting the sale of raw milk, since if you own a cow you're allowed to drink the milk raw if you want. So yeah unfortunately there's easy ways to get it if you live near farmers and shit.





  • I'm in a similar boat. There is no anti-natalist program or anything, like I have no intention of chasing people around about it, but at the same time deciding to have a child, for me, seems like playing dice with someone else's life. Especially in the world we've inherited, but it's not like things were perfect 50 years ago or whatever.

    With that said, all the anti natalist spaces I've encountered online have been full of cranks at best, xenophobes at worst.





  • I agree, but I think practically it works. People who are totally comfortable with slaughter probably aren't generally going to go vegan, but the vast majority of people would be traumatized by the experience. So it's not very useful like philosophically or whatever, but in most cases it makes sense for real people. I'm not making any sense.

    And in general, even though I'm vegan, I just have no faith that talking to people about it will actually produce a better world or whatever, so idk why I'm even weighing in. I think revolution is more likely than animal liberation.
