Guess it depends where. It is extremely common here amongst catholics in Texas.

So the problem is a lot of Americans/Catholics think a circumcision is something responsible adults do to their children to help them avoid potential health problems. They also erroneously believe the foreskin serves no purpose and is one of those we evolved with it, but it is useless kind of things.

They dont know the truth that it actually has a large number of nerve endings and its removal was originally pushed for to reduce the pleasure boys felt from masturbation, in the hope they would not masturbate. Because sex should only be for reproduction according to those who originally pushed for circumcision... It is like what is done to some women in muslim communities. Difference being woman have even more nerve endings in the clitoris and men can still experience some pleasure without the foreskin, but much less. This is why circumcision is often considered mutilation, except for those rare medical exceptions. Parents are unknowingly removing their childs right to sexual pleasure under the guise it is for their health.

It really needs to end as simple hygiene is all that is needed for the health reasons.

"Ignorance is bliss" People, not all but many, want religion because it teaches them all they have to do is believe and pray to a God and everything will be well. That even when things are bad, that they just need to roll with it because there is a plan that they are part of and they should not lose faith. That is all and it is simple. It also gives certain groups, genders, ethnicities power over others, which makes them feel special and entitled.

When you start to give a person with this kind of faith facts and logic that is contrary to what they have been told it angers them because it scares them. It angers them because it tells them they aren't entitled and they cant keep on with their actions because there will be consequences. They like propaganda that says "all is well, dont listen to those scary fake facts." This comforts them.

Those people want to stay feeling entitled, believing they are special, that their actions cause no harm, and stay in blissfull ignorance.

Science is not faith based. It is empirical and truths can be observed and proven. Yes there are hypothesis yet to be proven, but they are based on facts that suggest they may be true. Religions simply require faith with no proof what you are believing in is true.

Science will not dispell any spirtuality there is in the universe but it will eventually tear down most religions. We are very likely not the only living organisms in the universe, yet most religions depict Gods that resemble us. This is as bad as thinking the Earth is the center of the solar system, which is why it was considered blasphemous when the idea was first introduced that it was not.

I see, but I am still confused. He has no trigger finger. Is that gun just made so poorly a nub can pull the trigger? Isn't that a safety concern?

Easily cover half of the student loan forgiveness plans that would have been in place for 1-3 decades vs a few months of expenses...

Uh, I believe the term is "underage women" not children or girls or minors. /s

Exactly. Since n is represented by the collection of clothes, it is O(1) if you are only going through a finite subset of the clothes. If everything is in the closet, and in no particular order, you would then do O(n) because you potentially have to go through the entire collection to find one article of clothing.

It gets even worse if your idea of organization is placing the clothes neatly yet with no real order in a closet with multiple drawers and containers inside. In this last scenario you get O(n²) because you now have to repeatedly search through n numbers of clothing containers.

This is like the idea of having sex on the beach. Who really wants that. You didn't think it through if you want that. Do you really want to invite sand and salmonella to the mix?

I feel like the residential grade table with kitchen swivel counter stools is more out of place despite not looking entirely off. Do they really put stuff like that, which will instantly rust and fall apart on California beaches? The rest of the image has more understandable outdoor furniture.

This almost sounded like that reddit CBAT post.

Clients will have intellectual rights on anything produced for them. Removal of that data from their systems and storing it elsewhere will be a violation.

Using your own equipment other than maybe your monitor, mouse, or keyboard will be a no go. I don't know of any serious workplace that would let you do otherwise.

Even if you are a self employed contractor you will need to remote in to their virtual environment and work in that.

 

Well that's going to flop...
