@theliamnissan I still have no idea why anyone would take the stainless steel body concept from the DeLorean, one of the most famous automotive flops of the 20th century. THEN apply the concept to an electric pickup in a much, much stricter regulatory regime than in the late 70's, early 80's.

@BoudiccaFTW @uranoutofluck @SuzanneBos43679 @Emerald_Rose0 C-sections, while generally safe, are far from trivial. They are a major surgery which leaves behind a LOT of scar tissue on the skin, abdominal muscle, and uterus. That last one can cause complications to later pregnancies and increase the need for C-sections in future births.

@_nomadic_soul Socially shaming people for things they do in private is more often than not a tool of control and oppression. If an activity isn't harming anyone, why is it their business? Catholics also engage in purity culture, though it manifests differently than in Evangelical circles.
