Haha, that's a great way to put it! Adoption certainly helps parents get to the fun parts of parenting quicker.

Sure but no one said anything about long term lack of exposure.

That's fair yeah, there are some drawbacks to online interaction but it doesn't make it not social or any less at all, it's just different tbh, and for some people it's easier to interact online and so for them it's better than in person. And yeah my original point was just that social media IS social.

Right you are, but then again, not very 'efficient' to have a different word when efficientise would have worked well enough.

One way or another it will happen. With enough conflict there won't be enough left to disagree with each other.

I work for money, not out of greed but for self preservation. Unfortunately I can't live too well without it. I don't have the skills to survive and don't believe myself capable of obtaining them before my untimely demise.

I completely agree. All it takes is multiple nukes going off leading to nuclear winter. Boom! World peace.

And even further, when people are referring to herpes as an STI they’re referring to herpes simplex 2 which is only spread via genitals and tends to affect genitals. Meanwhile, ~2/3 of the population carries herpes simplex 1, it’s just cold sores and can be treated effectively w oral/topical antivirals.

Herpes Zoster is chicken pox, but people don’t realize the virus never leaves your body, it just lays dormant. Decades go by until herpes zoster flares up and causes painful shingles. There’s a vaccine, everyone over age 50 should get it.

That is why in Australia we have $1 and $2 coins.

They last longer

Nah any food you make in under a minute I can make it completely inedible in a minute.

I'll pee on it.

Agree to disagree. Not exposing yourself to social interaction and human touch (basic needs for humans) causes long term social and mental difficulties

You shut your damn mouth! We, of the soggy cereal nation, DENOUNCE you! +150Grievancesforyou.

True. But your ancestors still survived the dinosaurs.

Being soggy doesn't make it unedible though, some people even like it like that.

Yes you can. But why would you want to? Why was this worth posting here?

Important to know the difference between herpes simplex (cold sores) and hsv-2, genital herpes. You can get hsv 2 from oral sex with somebody who has hsv 1 only when the sores are visible (simplifying here, exceptions seem to apply recently). Otherwise it’s really hard to get the Herpes everybody knows about (genital, 10-15% of population) from hsv1 (cold sores, about 2/3 of the population with the virus, many show no symptoms)

Some good meds for hsv 1 are available, mostly creams that make the sores go away quicker.
