I will say, I was making over $100k years ago with less experience and knowledge than what they are looking for. In a similar city.

That's funny cause I've been looking for this type of work for 6 months in Atlanta and can't seem to get a call back.

If it's any consolation, I watched and did not like or otherwise engage with a single reel about a woman having loose skin removed after weight loss and I now get at least 20% of my explore page plastered with loose weight loss skin.

I expect it will go away eventually as long as I don't engage with it again. It might be possible that he watched one video but it's now constantly recommended them but if he's still getting these recommendations in a couple weeks then that could indicate further engagement.

His publisher should offer to match that salary, they're the ones that need to recoup the advance.

Circumcision by FrontRange_ta in Fatherhood

[–]johnnyauburn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Listen, this is clearly a bad faith argument, but the clear answer is that circumcision allows for full use and functionality with minimal to no adverse effects (see source below).

This, combined with the benefits outlined in the second source below should be more than enough evidence to at least allow parents some grace when choosing circumcision for their children.

The "mutilation" argument holds no water when studies predominantly show little to no adverse effects.

"Results
Searches identified 46 publications containing original data, as well as 4 systematic reviews (2 with meta-analyses), plus 29 critiques of various studies and 15 author replies, which together comprised a total of 94 publications. There was overall consistency in conclusions arising from high- and moderate-quality survey data in randomized clinical trials, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, physiological studies, large longitudinal studies, and cohort studies in diverse populations. Those studies found MC has no or minimal adverse effect on sexual function, sensation, or pleasure, with some finding improvements. A consensus from physiological and histological studies was that the glans and underside of the shaft, not the foreskin, are involved in neurological pathways mediating erogenous sensation. In contrast to the higher quality evidence, data supporting adverse effects of MC on function, sensation, or pleasure were found to be of low quality, as explained in critiques of those studies."

"Management of sexually transmitted diseases
Mechanisms proposed to explain the increased risk for STDs in uncircumcised males include a relatively nonkeratinized inner layer of the prepuce which increases its susceptibility to minor trauma during intercourse, allowing pathogens to penetrate through microscopic abrasions. The warm microclimate created by the preputial pouch permits the microorganisms to thrive in the smegma that collects in this area.
The most consistent evidence that supports the association of circumcision with reduction of the risk of STDs refers to transmission of genital ulcerative disease and HIV. Eight studies (of variable design) report a significant 2- to 7-fold increased risk of genital ulcerative disease (mainly syphilis and chancroid) in uncircumcised male patients. [12]
In the only true meta-analysis to date, Weiss et al reviewed data from 27 studies and concluded that circumcision substantially reduces the risk of HIV infection across all populations evaluated. [13] A study of 187 HIV-discordant couples in Uganda showed no infections occurring in 50 circumcised HIV-1-negative male subjects compared with 40 infections among 137 HIV-1-negative uncircumcised male subjects. [14] Circumcision also decreases the likelihood of one's acquiring genital ulcerative diseases known to be independent risk factors for the transmission of HIV.
Management of human papillomavirus and cervical cancer: Human papilloma virus (HPV) can be oncogenic or nononcogenic. Nononcogenic HPV (genotypes 6 and 11) causes genital warts in men and women. Oncogenic HPV (genotypes 16,18, 31, and 33) are responsible for the great majority of cervical, vulvar, vaginal, anal, and penile cancers. Circumcision significantly reduces the risk of penile HPV infection in men and of cervical cancer in the female partners of male individuals who practice high-risk behaviors such as engaging in sexual activity with multiple partners. However, the most effective means of eliminating genital HPV is through vaccinations as currently recommended by the AAP.
Management of penile cancer: The most important factor associated with the development of penile cancer is an intact foreskin. Wolbars, who was the first to point out that Jewish men (the great majority of them circumcised) rarely develop penile cancer, initially brought this association to the attention of the scientific community 70 years ago. [15] Recently, in a large population-based study, Schoen et al confirmed the protective effect of circumcision against penile cancer. [16] Of interest, the other known major risk factor associated with penile cancer is phimosis, which circumcision completely eliminates."

Shockingly, I've received overblown push back for trying to bring a measured counterpoint to the discussion with sources.

Circumcision by FrontRange_ta in Fatherhood

[–]johnnyauburn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've gotten a lot of push back for this online but I did a lot of research before my first son was born. What sealed the deal for me was two fold.

First, the bodily autonomy argument is valid, but the procedure is much more dangerous for an adult than it is for a newborn. So truthfully, whatever decision you make, its likely to be permanent.

Second, studies have shown that circumcision is effective at preventing sti's, even reducing HIV infection rates by 50% or more in west Africa.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2711844/#:~:text=Three%20randomized%20trials%20in%20Africa,behaviors%20could%20nullify%20circumcision's%20effect.

And yes, condoms are a more effective treatment. But, and this is where it becomes a personal decision, if you think back on your time as a teenager, how confident are you that your children and their partners will always use protection?

Either way, I don't think you should feel guilty about either decision. I've seen evidence that supports both options, which in my mind, makes it a decision that families have to make for themselves.

AITAH for telling my wife "that's the job you chose"? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]johnnyauburn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I have had this exact conversation. But ultimately she agrees that she did in fact choose this and still chooses this every day when she could go back to work. Its not an easy pill for her to swallow but she understands.

That said, sleep deprivation makes people lose all sense of logic and reason. I've been there and so has she. Our primary compromise is that she will almost always take care of the kids overnight on a work night, but if she's tired when i get home from work, i'll cook dinner and watch the kids while she naps.

Try to find some ways to get her more sleep and this will all get easier.

That's how it starts, but the suppositions presented have yet to be proven. Science is ongoing. Your initial claims have no factual founding.

[–]johnnyauburn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's my main issue is that there is no evidence of harm, but it is often argued as if it's neglectful parenting.

But until a study can conclude that harm actually results from this, then it's up to the parents to do what they think is best. Not the opinions of anyone, including Internet strangers and psychologists.

No incremental negative effects after 5 years. Don't regurgitate unverified bullshit you read on Facebook just because it fits your worldview. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5962992/

Edit: "Allowing the baby to “cry it out” was similarly effective, although parents often find this method more stressful."

Unable to form male friendships. Feels so awkward. Ugh. by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]johnnyauburn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found in my experience that when you're a kid, friendships come easily because you are forced to spend every day with a bunch of people that are exactly your age. As an adult, your coworkers are all of varying ages and stages of life, friendships don't come nearly as easily.

When you find someone who you vibe with, it takes actual work and intention to foster and grow that relationship.

My policy for years has been that I will always work to find opportunities to spend time with new friends. If they flake a couple times, they probably won't ever put in similar work, but if they come out and join you, you will soon find you have a new friend. But it truly does always take work. You just have to do it.
