  • The idiots in Idiocracy were aware of their own stupidity, and when they found a guy smarter than everyone else the people in power stepped aside and put him in charge of tackling their most pressing issues.

    The idiots IRL think they’re geniuses, and when they encounter someone smarter than themselves, who’s more qualified than they are to do their job, they run a smear campaign and/or incite violence against that person.

    The future depicted in Idiocracy is a fucking paradise compared to where we’re headed.


  • About 1% of patients report post vasectomy pain syndrome - not common, but it can happen. If your urologist didn’t talk about that when discussing potential risks, that’s a huge red flag.

    On that note, reversal of a vasectomy (reanastomosis) has a relatively high chance to fail, so if any of you are considering one cuz it’s often pitched as something you can change your mind on later, I’d recommend some other method of birth control. Vasectomies should always be thought of as permanent; and reversals as a gamble.

    And on THAT note, they can go the complete opposite direction and reanastomose themselves cuz our bodies are assholes and seem to always do the thing we don’t want it to do. You should have follow up appointments to check your semen for swimmers - DO NOT skip those. You may even want to do them annually or something for the first few years after, but that’d be something to discuss with your doc.
