Artificial semination is key to commercial animal agriculture, and that too would be unambiguously rape in human standards. Not to mention the horrific living conditions of most animals farmed for meat.

It's really just because one has always been normal, and the other hasn't, aka it's cultural. It's not rational. Though there's also arguably far more benefit in killing for meat vs. having sex with dubious consent, so that can be a consideration that isn't purely cultural.

If that's not a thing, then this law just does absolutely nothing!

But of course it is. I mean I feel pretty annoyed and it is also a health impact if someone is smoking next to me at a traffic light. So it hurts me, but is not illegal (I think it should be but that's besides the point). Someones place of birth should have no impact on the consequences of such behaviour.

Pharmacies definitely sometimes need to order meds. Though often they just give you a date. It's impossible to always have every niche medication in stock. But if number whitelisting became common, it just wouldn't be an issue bc they would give all the relevant numbers to every customer.

Norovirus is resistant to alcohol. That's part of what makes it so infectious. Not sure about bleach though.

That said iirc it doesn't survive on surfaces super long so just wait a month or sth

Iirc they removed the "women have to message first" requirement some time last month.

I'll eat anything in range unless i consciously stop myself or really don't like it. Same with drinks, which makes the presence of alcohol a bit scary sometimes.

That's... not the same as being aro at all. It doesn't mean you feel nothing towards anyone. Just that you're not interested in romantic relationships at all.

Tenet?

I also didn't think it was that confusing. It was at first, while it was meant to be, but it explained enough that I could understand roughly what went on by the end. Maybe people don't like not understanding everything perfectly. Though I also don't remember people hating it, so maybe different movie.

Cats do too if they can go outside. They don't really like shitting in their own living space.

Most places have laws on this. Often, it is legal to film/take photos, but not to focus on individuals.

That's the thing really, I use "bro" gender neutrally all the time (though in a rare instance of treating transwomen differently I'll avoid it if I know someone is transfem, because that's just asking for misunderstandings). If anyone asked me to not refer to them that way I'll just say oh ok sorry I won't on the future, it's gender neutral to me I didn't mean to misgender you.

All of this, all the pronoun discussions, people insisting on deadnames, is the same as reading someones name on an ID, calling them that, and them telling you they don't like that name and please use a different name (even when it's just a nickname and nothing gender related). If you don't accept their preference, you're just an asshole. You don't need to walk on eggshells, you just need to do a bare minimum of thinking and most importantly listen to people.
