There’s more reasons to have it done. It’s ultimately something that parents should only consider if they have a history of urinary tract issues since often times foreskin can cause issues like UTIs to be more frequent.

Also, as a male with a circumcised dick I haven’t needed therapy for it. So comparing it to a trans person is kind of rude to the trans community. It’s also straight up not a big deal. My parents made decisions they felt were right at the time. Life goes on. I’m doing the same with my child and the hope is that I make more good decisions than bad.

    There’s lots of things that parents do to their kids without their consent. I’d argue it’s worse to share their face on social media than to circumcise due to the true dangers of predators usage of technology. That doesn’t mean I think parents should be considered abusive if they do. That said, this is in the UK so I don’t have a horse in that race.

    If I could just experience the high of having Windows Phone sounds and experience… I would be so happy. For all the shit it got, Windows Phone is still the most beautiful mobile OS, and the way it utilized sound is still next level.

    I agree with your sentiment, but American voters only care about whatever happened in short term memory. I’d love to believe that somehow Trump has that level of a hold, but I don’t think he does if he isn’t here. I think his supporters move on, and I think if Vance is in power it turns worse for all of us given history, but I’d love to be wrong.

    He would remove most tariffs and the economy, because it was already short of picking up before tariffs, would bounce back and likely do well. Because of that he would likely be looked at as making things “better“ and then we would end up with another 6 years of MAGA republicans. Because of that we will not see him in any legal hot seat. It’s just wishful thinking. Nothing in the last 10 years has shown it would turn into anything good for the “left” rather than just backfire.

    Toyota does a special color every year for their TRD lineup.

    If you’re willing to count the black roof combo option the Corolla has 15 color options or 8 full color options. Red and blue are offered. Just no yellow or orange.

    People just don’t want to wait for a special car and want whatever is on the dealer lot. So they make as many of those in boring colors.

    Toyota is famous for their wildly colorful cars in the TRD lineup. Magma Orange, nori green, and that like Smurf blue color.

    Ford has a vibrant blue as well. GM doesn’t deviate from bare colors much, but Ram/dodge will as well. Patriot blue, fire engine red, delmonico red, and plum crazy.

    Porsche has full paint to sample.

    Mercedes is basically famous for black cars so…

    Anyways, cars have colorful variants, just the consumer base either isn’t willing to wait for the order, or they don’t want to pay the extra 500-900 dollars most non-standard paint color costs.

    Also, a lot of manufacturers offer up tri coat white metallic which obviously looks boring from afar, but up close is very vibrant.

    Happy to help! If you ever want to be irrationally angry at either the worlds dumbest engineer, or finance people somehow having a say in design; go look up oil changes on Ram trucks. They’re hilariously awful. Filters are placed facing down over things like steering gear boxes or right over the front differential. So it just gets over everything. In the case of the 2500 you have to go through the front bumper on the power wagons to get the oil filter out.

    But their trans are solid. It’s also the only good part in Rams, BMWs and Audi. A real miracle.

    My concern if the dems do impeach Trump IF they win the midterms is that either he will not step down (which he can technically do) and then it’s moot. Or we impeach Trump, get Vance and then because he didn’t suck as bad as Trump we get another 4 years of a republican president.
