    Okay, so, I like humanism, I don’t want people to die and all that.

    But am I an asshole for secretly wishing they’d just let Darwin Award winners like this one remove themselves from the gene pool?

      they got hit with severe pain out of nowhere.

      it’s funny when I had regular migraines and still have stuff to do but have to do them in pain. but when my partner got one she called an ambulance and thought she was dying…

      she didn’t learn about empathy that day, I still had to mow them lawn with a migraine. because having a silly headache isn’t a real excuse.

      getting hit with sudden severe pain out of nowhere you get desperate and whatever you do can and will be moked.

        That is all true, but desperation combined with a bad understanding of scientific facts and the unwillingness to at least make sure injecting your own semen isn’t a very bad idea, that’s no excuse.

          no doubt he wasn’t the brightest bulb beforehand.

          you never know what stupid thing will do when you’re desperate enough.

          if anything, I’m holding his medical team responsible if he got that desperate.

          unless he’s actually stupid enough to ignore all the good advice and gone straight to the stupid desperate stuff first.

            I’m guessing he hasn’t consulted qualified people about his idea. Because those would have told him FUCK NO, don’t do it. Which puts him firmly into the category of deserved Darwin Award candidate.

              yhea, probably not for this exact case.

              however, getting your condition ignored into you are desperate and so something stupid only to them be made fun of isn’t a solution either.

              hope he’s ok now,

      I’d argue that being a humanist you would want the species of human to be able to propagate itself and continue moving forward If we stop the evolutionary process that is survival of the fittest that it’s truest form then we are by definition muddling our own ability to survive as a species.

            Idk I think that’s straight up something Newton would have done if someone told him it would rid him of the female influence. Idiocy is circumstantial.

            Was this guy having a manic break? Homeschooled by someone that doesn’t believe in germ theory?

            It’s one thing when the conservatives are taking ivermectin and swallowing anti-vax, but the people drinking bleach and injecting semen probably have something going on beyond “didn’t pay attention in school because that was the gay”

        Have you seen what’s been coming out and making to the top for the past 200 years. I think we’re way past this point when we keep trying to find excuses to keep slowly burning us alive.
