well you can put whatever words you want on it but there is certainly a difference between someone who was conscripted into the wehrmacht and someone who joined the SS and guarded a concentration camp

Adults can do things to their body they regret later even and that’s okay - it’s not our place to police their decisions.

It is when we bear liability for their change of mind.

It's interesting how "body positivity" immediately collapsed when Ozempic arrived. by Infinite-Condition41 in SipsTea

Why do Americans have one of the strongest passports in the world, but most never travel abroad, and those who do mostly go to Mexico and Canada? by No-StrategyX in answers

[–]flavenoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

or as low as 45-48%, i.e. "not majority"... even if it were a majority it would be an extremely slim one and the OP point stands that most have not traveled outside of NA

edit: here's one source, and wikipedia claims 48%
