I know a lot of people here oppose circumcision but someone told me that they were not circumcised and that they had an incredibly painful experience with their mother rolling back the skin to clean them when they were a baby when they were in hot water even though people normally do not remember that far back

I think whether or not someone supports or opposes circumcision

Most reasonable people can agree that if it is to be done then it should be done by a medical professional & not by mouth

in reply to shortstories

There are many Orthodox Jews who insist on using the mouth as part of the circumcision ritual instead of doing it the way a doctor wpuld normally do it in a hospital

These Orthodox Jewish Mohels who practice oral suction circumcision have had cases in which they spread herpes by such a practice

Whether or not circumcision is legal

Most reasonable people should agree that oral suction circumcision should be illegal if a competant medical alternative is available

life pro tip:

haven't been to the dentist in a while? check out your local community college and see if they offer a dental program

rates are extremely cheap (I paid $10 for mine), the students are EXTREMELY thorough and gentle with trained professionals overseeing them, and many are begging for patients to take in for their studies. you likely won't be able to get major procedures done but you could potentially save thousands while getting better quality of care

I now know exactly what is wrong with my teeth and jaw and how to fix it, something four other dentists have ignored over the past fifteen years

"I know it may come across like I’m pretty “hung up” on the 2024 election or that I’m gloating all the time about being right— you have to understand (or remember) how over-the-top the propaganda was for Trump in 2024.

And not only that, but how in public and in private, . . .

And of course what Trump 2.0 represented was a big fat giant Israeli op, and they all knew that and were a part of it too.

Now they are all quiet. So, so quiet."

The Amish and the Anabaptists

All Amish are Anabaptists, but not all Anabaptists are Amish. The Anabaptist family include Mennonites, some of whom are conservative, and some of whom have bios like this:
madison-mennonite.org/wp/pasto…

> Valerie and her partner, Justin Shenk, arrived at Madison Mennonite in 2019. She previously served in pastoral roles in Virginia and London, England.

> Valerie considers herself an Anabaptist ecofeminist, caring deeply for the Spirit’s shalom-inspired liberation of the earth and all its inhabitants. Valerie received her M[istress] of Divinity from Eastern Mennonite Seminary in Harrisonburg, VA, and is studying for her Doctor of Ministry at Methodist Theological School in Ohio. She currently(/occasionally) blogs at valerieshowalter.com.

It ain't all buggies and butter-churns, unfortunately.

It really does have the talent and the spark that made Ubisoft's game design so interesting when they weren't making slop, or sometimes between the slop bits like in half dogshit games like AC4 Black Fag. It's wholly charming and very easy to like.

Basically it's a JRPG but you MOSTLY just die in one hit, but you have a dodge/parry on every enemy attack but when YOU attack you iterate through every character's unique damage engine. So it's got the Mario Rabbids thing going where it's what you've seen before but thrown in a blender and iterated on confidently and with competence. Story-wise it's... it manages to be sincere and without much sarcasm and considering the tone of this story can yo-yo between colorful retards to human loss and tragedy to industrial scale war and death, they managed to weave this naturally in a manner that doesn't feel precious at all. It's kind of a lost Xbox 360 game.

A commie on Facebook, but too good not to share:
He believes in transgenderism. As professor of biology 🤡
He claims that all communist systems were not real communism.
How original. He wants to try again.
He's a white dude for Kamala 🤣🤣🤣💩
He freaks out when he loses a debate, i.e. all the time.

PS: Coming to think of it: does that Kamala logo look a bit ... satanic? 🤔 What kind of retard would use a skull for an election campaign logo / sticker - whatever they used it for.

But the way it is designed, it looks like a demonic skull with horns. Was that intentional? Was it created by someone who really hates Kamala and he managed to pass it off as "pro-Kamala"?
