I have been willing to try Julia for a long time now. Yesterday I finally put time aside to port some stuff I have been doing in Python to Julia. 1st: install Julia - used a snap on Ubuntu, fine 2nd: get jupyter to work with Julia: a bit co

You know what costs even less, has zero side effects and protects you for a range of STDs instead of just for HIV? Condoms. People on this thread are going around in circles arguing that: 1 - they are entitled to my taxes/insurance pay

That's a clear overstatement for which I can't find any evidence. Contracting HIV with unprotected sex is difficult (1/1000 for vaginal sex and insertive anal sex, 1/71 for receiving anal sex - all numbers for unprotecte

You are totally wrong in both your assumptions about what I said: 1st) PrEP solely protects against HIV. It doesn't protect against any other kind of STDs whatsoever. What is your solution here really? 2nd) Has it was clearly stated, I

> How about we just don't fucking shame people for not wanting to use a condom as long as both (or all) parties agree. Especially when there is a drug like prep. That depends if it's those people bearing the full cost of buying

PrEP has negative side effects (besides being quite expensive for the state), condoms on the other side, don't have side effects, and are cheap. It's a matter of having some sense of personal responsibility really.

Why not? The OP was defending that berating someone for their political beliefs was just fine. Why are we expected to put the line at religion when "berating" someone's beliefs? The article in the human rights declaration def

Shall we apply that same principle to, for instance, religion? Would you defend a professor berating in front of the class someone exposing the views of their minoritary religion?

No it's not interesting. You are not "entitled" to travel for holidays, even in a society with a good social security net that ensures the basic needs of its citizens are met.
