I agree with her argument, but it would help if her facts were correct.
women can only get pregnant for 2 day a month
It varies but its possible for closer to a week
its assumed condoms are 100% effective at preventing pregnancy
Condoms are 98% effective if used perfectly. Planned Parenthood estimates a real-world effectiveness rate of 85%, while the CDC estimates an 82% effectiveness rate
The pullout method is 96% effective
Its more like 75% effective
Men can't get women pregnant without orgasming
Yes, they can. Its called precum, and it's one of the reasons the pull-out method isn't an effective method of birth control.
Get your facts straight, then come back and make the same argument and I'm totally with you.

My parents were both very conservative growing up - like had never voted for someone who wasn't a hardcore republican. After I left home for college and started to break out of that brainwashing my dad went Green Party - that's who he's voted for the last 2 presidential elections. My mom is still hard-core conservative who voted for Trump.

nofap is a straight-line lineage from the crazy ideas of the idiot phrenologist fascists and religious nuts of the 19th and 20th century.

Reply to What job does the least harm? by ziq
I'm not sure. I think one should balance out the desire to lesson the harm of a job combined with the culture/propaganda of a job or worksite, as well as being able to support oneself and one's family, as well as the ability to support anarchist/leftist projects with either time or money (or both) should be examined.
If every one of us only does menial or custodial work then we are going to continue to struggle to gather enough resources to actually do anything. Then we're just all still stuck exactly where capital wants us to be forever.
Personally I love the small farmer suggestion, it's my goal to get there someday. In the meantime, I work in education. It's a sweet-spot for me that lets me use my skills and pays enough to support my family, and to hopefully get to contribute to my farmer goal and to the support of projects I believe in.

Reply to What do you do to fall asleep at night? by theblackcat
Stop moving for more than 30 seconds.
A few drops of CBD oil and some deep breathing helps for those nights where my 3 cups of coffee and 4 cups of tea that keep me going and fuel my second job are still going strong when I get home.

Reply to Is chaos good? by ziq
Absolutely. Chaos is an integral part of the universe. It's what inserts randomness to the world, it creates space for freedom of action, it gives us surprises, black swan events, and is the only way for any of us to hope for freedom.

The question of whether Lee Harvey Oswald did it alone or not is actually pretty easy to answer. Your head doesn't move backward if you are shot from behind. Someone in front of the motorcade fired the deadly shot. Between that and the number and timing of the shots fired it's pretty easy to see that it wasn't Oswald, or at least not Oswald alone.
The question of who pulled the trigger and the behind the scenes machinations are so large, I don't know if we'll ever know. There's definitely enough to speculate with some amount of certainty that it had to do with JFK taking on the bankers at the Fed.

I agree, the use of drones and AI make even the eventuality of unpopular war a microscopic probability. There is no fixing it without removing the United States as a global super power, and a nation-state.

Reply to comment by retiredshared2 in Do you support mandatory military drafts? by ziq
Ok. Here's why that won't work to stop American aggression and imperialism.
-
The children of the rich and powerful won't go. They will have ways of getting out of any draft that is imposed, just like they did in Vietnam.
-
Assuming the US stops private contracting as a part of the draft (they wouldn't, but let's assume), the private contractors who are doing it cuz they're murderous gung-ho reactionaries (which is the vast majority) will enlist and go anyway. They will be in every combat unit, and many of the things they did as contractors they will do as soldiers.
-
The children of the poor will be the ones on the front lines. Minorities will be heavily over-represented, and their deaths will only anger the general population once they get to an astoundingly high number and the war goes on for a decade or more.

But how hard is it, as an anarchist to listen to Chomsky and know almost immediately that this guy isn't on our side? Why do we have people constantly interviewing him? Why are there Chomsky posts on anarchist projects, sites, and forums/subreddits?

The amount of time per month that a women is able to get pregnant is much more than 12 hours or 2 days. Sperm can live in the female body for up to 5 days, and since it takes several days for the egg to travel down the Fallopian tubes and arrive at the uterus, you have to add at least 5 days to that number to say how long per month a woman can get pregnant. I reiterate, for most people in most situations, its possible for about a week.
