  • I’m not sure about all hospitals, but speaking from experience, at the one we went to, you had to coordinate the circumcision yourself with like a religious figure who will do it. They even gave us a pamphlet about the health risks and to not allow some religious traditions around the procedure that have caused infections in the babies and sometimes killed them.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if there are stats showing of dwindling rates in the recent generations. It could be that by going through with it, your son is actually in the minority of his peers, and would receive the treatment you wanted to avoid. Also, kids will make fun about anything, you’re not going to be able to prevent that.

    And to state the obvious, there’s no undoing the procedure. If you’re on the fence, let your son decide when he’s ready, rather than making a life altering decision for him when you’re unsure.





  • If messages aren’t end to end encrypted, then their contents of the messages can be intercepted by Telegram or any adversary who has access to Telegram’s systems. This is what the US Government was doing with Prism to suck in unencrypted data from ISPs without their knowledge. By not having end to end encryption, you have to trust that Telegram administrators are being truthful when they say they’re not looking at your messages, and that their systems are never compromised by crimegroups or nation states without Telegram’s knowledge.












  • I might not be as far (just past act 1), but I haven’t felt the need to grind rosaries (yet). A bunch of times I’d be exploring for an hour and notice I have like 500+ rosaries, and then I get them made into strands till I have to spend them. I don’t think I’ve seen anything on sale for more than 800 rosaries, Maybe it’s different later in the game but at least in the beginning of the game, it doesn’t feel like a chore.

    Even if earth just gets pulled away from the sun a little we are screwed.

    I get what you’re saying, but had to laugh at the use of “a little” here. The goldilocks zone in the solar system is roughly the between the orbits of Venus and Mars, and we’re almost right in the middle of it, so “a little” is like 150 million km.

    I would imagine that the first issue we would experience would be that the moon would be pulled out of Earth’s orbit first and then we lose the ocean tides and the stable tilt of the earth. It would probably get worse from there.
