I think I misread the post within the context, because when I wrote that it very much read like that poster was advocating against putting public health solutions in place (You know, better education, easier access to testing and cures), and instead putting propaganda-like (wrong word, but I'm having difficulty thinking of the right one at the moment) restrictions in place. I don't think you can significantly reduce the incidence of casual sex by alone changing the representation of casual sex in popular media because it's only addressing a fraction of the cause, and ignoring all of the material circumstances that lead people to those sorts of decisions. Public image and education is only part of the problem, I think (although I'm pulling the rest of this sentence outta my rear end) that a lot of the reasons people choose casual sex is out of a tendency towards risk-taking, that comes from not seeing a future for yourself. Anyway, I think you'll get *some reduction*, but this is the exact same choice you see with abstinence based sex education, which has been shown repeatedly not to work. Because in regards to a health crisis, investing money in public policy to change the media people see, is always going to lose out versus investing that same money in actually solving the problem directly and providing better and more accessible healthcare to adults.

people gently caress because it feels good

for some people it feels bad so they don't gently caress and that's also fine

people's whose job it is to convince other people to buy product would never use those same skills to convince their employer to fund them. that would be unethical.

ergot_vacation 7 hours ago | parent [–] | on: The terrifyingly prescient ‘Serial Experiments Lai... Never trust a "journalist," or anyone who uses the phrase "very online" to review anime in a meaningful way. I stayed away from Mob Psycho for ages because of nutty articles like this reading meaning and intention into it to a degree that would have made Freud blush. It's all just projection. To some people, everything has to be about preaching ideology, spreading their collection of neat, tidy just-so stories about how the world works. They can't just let the work speak for itself. Glad to see this though, because it reminds me I should get around to finally trying Lain. Oh, and I highly recommend Mob Psycho as well. reply (notable for bad takes on criticism in general, not anime in particular)

fritz posted:drdeadringer 1 hour ago [–] Also this is a good one: mring33621 0 minutes ago [–] There is no such thing as "locals getting screwed" in this scenario. We live in a free country, where people sometimes choose to move. In fact, when the demand for housing in an area goes up, often locals profit handsomely. Unfortunately, "I was here first" sounds a lot like "gently caress you, I got mine". And it's not gonna fly.

bsenftner 2 hours ago [–] At the risk of sounding racist, Asian culture respect their commons to a significantly larger degree than non-Asian cultures. If the Singapore residential skyscrapers where in the United States, for example, the space between the buildings would be a no-mans zone of graffiti, illegal trade, and youth gangs. Edit: hahahaha sershe 17 minutes ago [–] 1km or especially 2km is not in any way a reasonable walk. It is just barely reasonable for a healthy adult in good weather, and still tedious.

I have a short commute but before covid I used to walk 3km both ways to work and back. And if the weather was good I walked 6km via a nicer route. 3km walk is something you don't even consider. 6km walk starts to get long and you can work up sweat so it's not for every day. Dropping that daily casual exercise really contributed to gaining weight during covid

Before I was commuting via a 5km round trip walk through a not particularly attractive area regardless of whether plus an annoying bus ride. I theoretically wouldn't mind a 10km round trip commute by walking if it was nice, although I would more likely just bike in that case.

Chris Knight posted:you know you can just go out and walk around right? I know. I've tried to but it's been harder for me to get motivated. I have started to bike a lot again when spring arrived. It's much more easy to get that kind of steady daily walking when it's your commute. I sometimes try to "walk to work" by taking a walk before coming back home in the morning, but it's a lot easier to skip.
