The phrase “Plan B” was a phrase whose meaning a reasonably quick internet search did not reveal.

So, if a woman cannot use birth control pills nor have a temporary sterilization, and therefore the only usable contraceptive is a condom, her sex life is always unprotected?
Condoms can break if there is a long hair in a spot where it manages to cut the condom’s head off. You can learn to check for that, but many people learn that through, well, trial and error.
Can someone translate, please? :)

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you wash your hands after going pee?English
0·17 hours agoA lot of people wipe their butt, flush the toilet, wqsh their hands, dry them, and leave the toilet.
This means that at least the toilet flushing button is often very dirty with poo germs. Depending on how you two and people visiting you handle the flushing, ut might make sense to always wash hands after flushing the toilet.
Otherwise… Whatever.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do.contires that use commas for decimals read such numbers aloud?English
0·3 days ago7,5 is read in Finnish as “seitsemän pilkku viisi”. 7.5 would be read as “seitsemän piste viisi”.
The rule is that if it’s in decimal system, you use comma; if in any other system, you use dot. And you read what you write.
In Finnish we typically say "Än, yy, tee, nyt!", because our word for "now", nyt, is composed of letters N, Y and T.
The “y” is pronounced roughly the same way as “ew” in “new”. “ä” in the same as “a” in “cat”, and “e” is the same as “e” in “well”.
How about translating this to English and using the following as the standard?
"Aehn, oh, double you, now!"

0·5 days agoLets hope that eventually Belarus and Russia will rejoin the European family.
That will take time.
The Russia is now politically about where Ukraine was around year 1970. And it took Ukraine until 2008 to start seriously becoming democratic, and even then it seemed to keep regressing again and again. Only the aggression by the Russia in 2014 stabilized Ukraine’s path towards democracy. This took Ukraine altogether about 40 years and the Russia won’t be able to be faster than that. The couple decades of extremely immense propaganda have taken their toll. If the propaganda somehow ends this year or the next, then the children born now will still be imbued by it because of their parents’ thinking, and the children of the children being born now are going to be reasonably okay, already. But still not really ready for EU. But the grandchildren of children being born in 2026 might really be able to feel European. So, when those are adults, then maybe. If the Russia ends the propaganda now.But the Russian propaganda is something that has existed for several centuries and from conversations I’ve had with Russians in Russian language, I don’t really get a feeling that they will be letting go of that anytime soon. A Russia without Pushkin… What would that even be? Such a huge part of their literature is so toxic that whatever they try to achieve, their old literature will pull them back into what they have been for centuries.
We can always live in hope, but I really don’t think the Russia can become anything humanely thinking anytime in the next two centuries at least.

0·5 days agoConservatism means wanting to keep the society as it is. It is the antonym of being progressive. And that’s it.
A party that wants things to to just remain stable as they are is a conservative party. A party that wants to make dramatic changes is a progressive, or maybe also regressive, party. But absolutely not conservative.
Yes, in USA some people have started using the word “conservative” in a different meaning. That doesn’t alter what the word really means. Those who want to conserve what exists.
(And in USA the Democratic party has taken the conservative role, whereas the Republican party has taken an anti-conservative role, driving radical changes to things. Changes to a direction I see as very damaging for everyone, but changes all the same. Wanting such huge changes makes you an anti-conservative.)
A centaur has explicitly horse features until a certain point, then explicitly human features from that point onwards.
That would mean the upper part not being allowed to divert back to horseness/giraffiness, as the left pic does.
Cows are short giraffes, though… (And both cows and giraffes are just forms of land whale)
I… what the fuck am I looking at… ?
It’s the human centipede. But giraffe.



And also, if you have protected wex, you have protected sex, yes.
One interesting question: how do you know you have learned everything you need to know about condomology? If I understand right, you consider protected sex unprotected, if the people having it are not aware of some safety aspect regarding how to use a condom.
You seem to find it important to stigmatise people for having unprotected sex even in situations where they, by their own understanding, are having protected sex. I’d like you to elaborate a bit more on your philosophy, please! :)
