    Ok fine. I was just adding something that I find relevant. I think condoms are overlooked as a birth control method in stable couples. Probably because it annoys some men, which I find bad because then it's always women who get that charge (and the potential side effects). It's a clear injustice.

    Seems like a lot of Tesla buyers in the USA were more interested in the brand itself than by the fact it was an EV. I think in Europe Tesla has always been one of multiple EV options. Of course, now it's not even an option anymore.

    The boom of the automobile started before the 30s in the US. The suburban sprawl was permitted by this, not the other way around. Otherwise, housing needs would have been met with large apartment buildings, just like a few decades earlier. Sprawl is a direct consequence of cars.

  4. No, on the long term, people have to cover vast distances BECAUSE of car culture. Look at photos of any US city on 1910. It was super dense, no need for a car. Then they were destroyed to make room for parking and highways.

  5. I'm fine with someone saying condoms are not the best because of this or this. But here it's not even part of the comparison. They mentioned failure rates of pills, of "natural" methods, but not of condoms.

  6. I read the article and I agree with 100% of it. But I still find it strange that a part titled "the alternatives" doesn't even mention the word condom. It's clearly a blind spot of the article. That's my point, no more.
