Accidental renaissance

I’ve been using the catsarch.com version which works for me. The other most recently used instance was redlib.pivacyredirect.com

Very very interesting. I wanted to do this with squatting since it’s supposedly a more natural way to sit than on a chair, it seems i haven’t managed it for a while. Cross legged sitting (which i presume you are doing) is also good

This is the answer

At some point, something lead to a mutation that turned curly hair into straight hair, and that seems to have been selected for in populations living in colder climates

It feels cool to have curly hair despite being from a long line of cold climaters.

I love this image because somehow all of these names made sense to him, and we’ll probably never be able to figure out why.

“Eucharist!”

Was he poking fun at a member of his church? Or someone religious that he knew?

Would you mind sharing that? Would be very helpful

“Well, ya’ll were the only one of the 500 I sent out to reply, what do you do?”

The temptation to do this though 😅

True, and I will. What does inside track on internships mean? Like they’re specifically holding a slot for someone at your uni to join?

It may be! I would love to understand why if it is. I do value religious perspectives

So patriotic right now

1. The thing is my country has free healthcare, so if enough people are willing to donate, sperm is theoretically free.

2. That’s given me some stuff to think about though - I’m going to search and see if there are case studies of people being pestered for child care (it says you’re under no obligation but a particularly devious person might lie to the court/police, right?)

And then there’s also the fact that it could be people you don’t want to create a baby with. Idk. TBH i don’t think people who try to exploit infrastructure like that are going to be bothering with sperm donation, i think those unpleasant people will be making babies traditionally, and if they’re infertile that just means more zero consequence sex to them.

Some good news is also that the NHS provides a professional to explain what the implication of the decision are so maybe this will come up or i can ask about it. It would certainly explain why donation rates are so low - I’m not sure what’s so much worse to everyone about masturbating in a clinic to masturbating at home and “wasting” the genetic material. (other than the fact that they don’t want to create random kids they won’t meet)

it’s a bigger decision than I’ve given thought to so far, i’ll give you that.

Thank you! I’m also struggling to understand why not so many people do it. I guess they don’t trust that kids won’t be able to contact them?

The NHS should promote it more, if there’s really a shortage. I don’t want my country dependent on buying sperm from america lol.

I believe you have to write out a few paragraphs about yourself so that sperm-receivers feel they have some choice in the matter. But that’s a good point, i do feel a bit eased to hear that. Regarding race, i think they tell this to donors as well because 1. a lot of people like to have children from a similar genetic background to their infertile partner / themselves, and 2. Certain diseases are more prone from mixed races, right? That’s what i’ve heard from stem cell donation

EDIT: Okay I can see why you thought i was saying that, nevermind. Thanks for pointing it out, i’ve retyped bits of my post. I started writing it last night so there was some major lack of congruency throughout it.

Definitely going to do it through an official way.

From what i remember, there is no expectation for child support and they can only contact you 18, maybe 16, years later. There’s a limit on how many children can be produced with the sperm. (3 i think?) Before they ask you to donate again - if you say no, no more is produced. If you say yes, 3 more kids can be produced from your next batch)

I hate this about reddit. Literally encourages you to have multiple accounts then uses it as a way to accelerate your ban to perma ban. Dogshit capitalist website
