To put it another way. If 0% of men are steralized and 90% of women, and people are having sex as often as possible on both sides, then 90% of pregnancies are prevented.

If 0% of women are steralized and 90% of men in the same scenario then 0 pregnancies are prevented.

This isnt even sarcasm....

@taur10 Which is exactly why it would make sense to **only** do this on a woman.

If every man in the world had his tubes tied and just one manages to slip through he could impregnate as many women as he can have sex with, producing hundreds of children per month. So you need perfect 100% coverage to be effective.

However a single woman, as you point out, can at most produce one baby every 9 months. So even partial coverage of women would be significantly effective without needing complete coverage.

This is the same reason why in animals the focus is on spaying and not neutering because dollar for dollar, case for case, it is much more effective.

@taur10

No not too extreme at all. This seems reasonable. I assume it works both ways and a woman needs to do the same.

@Hyolobrika Actually now that you post this I do vaguely remember reading about this once.

@Hyolobrika

That phrase has since been adopted as a legitimate statement in computer science where we say "two plus two equals five... for sufficiently large values of 2"

Me: Awwww hey little guy, what pretty colorful feathers you have. Hope your happy little fella

Stranger: Ewwww, pigeons are just rats with wings.

Me: I know, right, rats are so adorable too!

I would 1000% watch a Slothra vs Godzilla movie.

@bibliolater Yes, but only if they are orthographic in the sense of being dimensionally compressed :)

@bibliolater No, this is a safe space. Spell checkers are to judgmental.

(while this shouldnt need to be said.... this is a joke)

@rchrd

USA tipping and Dutch tipping arent really comparable. In the netherlands they are paid a fair wage. Obviously tipping helps, but they are paid a living wage, tipping is what it should be for, extra as a thank you for excellent service. It isnt needed to ensure they get fair pay.

That said, if you can afford it it is certainly nice to be generous with people.

@sabbatical

Much appreciated, thank you kindly!

@sabbatical mostly boring stuff at first, be patient. We have a bit of housework to do.

@lowqualityfacts yes but a 800% chance of being fired within the fist week.

One of the biggest failings of society is they tend to only believe the emotions you show and ignore when you explain, explicitly, how you feel.
