  • I see what you’re saying but they are specifically worried about anal sex. You’re welcome to switch up partners as much as you want as long as anal sex isn’t involved, which is much more likely and much easier for the heterosexual community.

    Same goes with prep. I’m sure that there are circumstances that would have individuals taking it that are not related to their sexual orientation.

    I’m just pointing out that despite the major improvement it still excludes gay men quite thoroughly from donating blood.

    Unfortunately it applies to gay men only. Our straight counterparts can switch up partners as much as they want.

    Well, it’d apply to bisexual men who’ve had male partners as well.

    I should also point out it doesn’t have to be new partners. Just if you’ve had more than one partner you can’t donate even if it’s an exclusive polygamous relationship.


  • Sort of. Still can’t donate if you’re taking prep (hiv preventative) or if you’ve had sex with multiple people.

    Need to be off prep for 3 months and not have sex with new or multiple partners.

    The no prep part is a tough ask. Especially with how healthcare is

    Much better than it was but it still excludes a huge portion of the community


  • Visual studio and visual studio code are not the same thing. Visual Studio is a full IDE and is expected to have those features and is clunky because of them. Or was, not sure where it is now. It’d be in the same category as netbeans, eclipsed, and intellij

    Vs code is an enhanced lightweight text editor

    Notepad++ is the original enhanced lightweight text editor

    My point was that Notepad++ came out way before vs code and didn’t copy features from vs code.

    Copied from an ide, sure? Not really a good comparison as they are solving two different problems



  • I am pointing out that dealing with animals falls under animal control. Not police officers. The exception being an in progress attack and even then a gun probably isn’t the best choice considering the animal would be next to/on the person it’s attacking.

    The article points out that the reason is unclear. Based on what we know about how police offers act, how police departments respond, what punishments they face, and how they update their procedures/trainings, it draws a clear conclusion.

    The reasons for the high number of pet killings by law enforcement are not clear. Some factors include mistaken identity, warrantless searches, lack of training, and legal protections for police officers when using force, including against animals[1].
