there's no universe where even the best circumstances make an unplanned pregnancy worth the risk
Which is why there's a market for a male contraceptive pill.
You could trust the woman that she's on the pill, that she has a coil fitted, that she's using that weird little cup thing, that a condom wont break, leak or otherwise be misused.
Or you could protect yourself. Worse case, you're both protected. Fucking win.
it would be unlikely that an ethical committee allowed a DNA test here
Any woman claiming I'm a father will be told to back it up with evidence and fuck the ethics.
I do not want to be a father. I do not want to pay for some woman's broody desires. I sure as fuck don't want my life destroying because of some other cunt's child.
Pregnancy is viable through anal intercourse. Pregnancy is viable through digital contamination (i.e. she gives you a wank then frigs herself). Pregnancy is viable through oral sex (if the woman holds your sperm in her mouth until she can transfer it to her vagina - see related court cases for evidence).
Gay sex tends to be safest on the pregnancy front, but there are not a LOT of ways to have sex with no chance of pregnancy.
The morning after pill or those two alternatives are not pleasant, no. They're still sizeably better than the 20 years of financial pain a man has no choice about.
As an example the percentage of people with HIV has increased in Austin, Texas by 41% or so from 2006 to 2012.
Proving nothing. 1 - Austin population has grown by 15% in that time 2 - A proportion of those people with HIV will be heterosexual 3 - Between 1990 and 2010 the number of same-sex couples in Austin grew at a rate of three times the city population growth rate. Yep, Austin got more gay.
Add those three together and I'd say it's rather likely that the extent of HIV infection in the gay community in Austin has probably dropped, thus entirely fucking disproving the ignorant shit you were claiming.
But the people who became web designers were formerly page layout designers. They revolted. They were used to printed paper, where they controlled everything the reader saw - fonts, font sizes, text wrap around photos, columns, etc. Their ego couldn't stand ceding some of that control to the reader, so they fought tooth and nail to bring that control back to themselves. The early flash-only websites were their first salvo. Everyone hated flash sites, but they loved them because it would display exactly and only as they designed it
Making a complex website with rich content not look shit was fucking difficult back in the day. Functional and accessible, sure, but not glossy magazine professional polish.
Reducing the problem domain so that you don't have to be all things to all devices meant that a good aesthetic could be achieved far more easily. It may never fully exploit the awesome screen some users had, for others it may load as fast as a one-legged dog running through a swamp and someone browsing on a C64 may get RSI from the scrolling but it'll look the same for all of them.
Personally I'm all for functionality, ease of use and loading fast, but I'm in the minority. People like prettiness.
The problem is that something as basic as not wanting to bend over, drop your underwear and let an immigrant rape you senseless is now deemed xenophobia.
People being told they're xenophobic for trivial shit is one of the reasons Trump is so popular. He doesn't let the labels being attached to him stop him sharing his views.
If a Tesla is fully autonomous then how can anybody that can't afford a Tesla be an Uber driver.
Shit, I'd buy as many as I could afford. Let them loose. Use a tiny subset of the rental income to pay someone to look after them and clean them for me.
Except that I can't. Tesla want to do that themselves.
When you let your Tesla go out by itself and do Uber driving to make you money, and some malicious bastard makes your car crash and kill someone, are you going to accept the murder charges?
Surely the malicious bastard takes the murder charges? I haven't seen Avis executives going to jail for involuntary manslaughter by their customers recently.
If the car is autonomous, how the fuck is it your fault if someone crashes?
Just how/why is providing a ride sharing service different if you're taking money for it or you're taking blow jobs from your sister in law for it? Tesla differentiate between the two but legally they're pretty much the same.
Then wake up, cream puff.
Yum. If I was a cream puff I'd stay at home and lick myself.
It's about Tesla looking after YOU !!! Protecting you from your own stupid instincts.
No, it's about Tesla trying to earn money from their customers through royalties/commission or just through directly controlling the entire revenue stream.

Of course you can. Whatever makes you think otherwise?
Sorry, no. I have no statistics on how frequently you think.

the only absolute way of preventing pregnancy is abstinence
Sadly that's not necessarily adequate. Search on Google (or your Internet search engine of choice) for 'woman steals sperm'.
Articles like http://www.naturalnews.com/047... are sadly not as rare as you'd think.

he's not responsible enough to buy a beer.
Based on the 18 year olds I've known, no, he's not.
Should still be allowed to, of course. Shit, how else are you going to learn?
You appear to have missed him stating
Don't pretend there is something wrong with this.
Which you've just implicitly done. Well done.
Fortunately for you the same religion prevents you being quarantined to prevent your transmissible memetics polluting our future gene pool.

I know lots of people that would like to have a Tesla. Not a single one because it's a status symbol
Yeah, I want one and not because it's a status symbol.
It's because I could sell it and buy a house instead.
Finally a use case for those IP enabled light bulbs! You're a genius!

I think you've hit on a reason for the enduring nature of Slashdot.
It's not hip, it's not trendy, it's not cool and quite often it's not technology. But it's fucking readable.
I found my current job via Indeed. They linked me through to the corporate recruitment site, I applied on there and the idiots actually employed me.
Sorry, no. Your comment made no sense. His reply wasn't great, but even your attempt to explain your comment made no sense.
Clearly your reading comprehension level uses different rules of language than ours.

Exaggerated rhetoric? Barely.
http://www.hna.de/kassel/herde... didn't include rape.

Are you a fucking imbecile?
You really think a corner shop, a bar, the local butcher is going to take their $2000 daily revenue and dispose of it?
Most of that goes straight into the bank. Shit, you don't want a week's earnings sat in the safe.
Plus, of course, theinquirer.net
Then how the fuck is it safe to send your four year old daughter to school in?
Tesla are fine with that.

2. How can an Uber driver afford a new Tesla ?
