  • My sister had a c-section for her second kid. Before she had it, she asked the doctor to tie her tubes while he was already elbow deep. He said sure. It wasn’t much to go through. Of course, this was almost 30 years ago and women’s rights have since been eroded more than a little in the US. I got a vascectomy after my first kid. I made an appointment to get it done, I showed up, the doctor was like,“You sure about this?” I said,“Yep”, and my balls were shaved, and my tubes were tied. Both were about as difficult as it should be.



  • So the average American sees their entire history as starting at 1776

    Well yeah. That’s kind of the way words work. Of course there was history before that with England. Which had history before them from France, German, Rome, etc. If we, US people, are talking about before 1776 with the colonies, that time is generally referred to as “Colonial History”

    When the French stopped being a monarchy, it’s gov’t changed, the rules of law changed, it was effectively a different country. If a group of friends play football, then the next time they play basketball, they are playing different sports. Same people though.
