Why would I throw it away, when I can give it to someone who needs it more, or sell it?

Because selling is always a hassle, dealing with choosing beggars and scammers, and it may not be worth much anymore for general use.

For example, my old PC is a i7 4770k... it can't run Windows 11 or play remotely recent games. I don't know anyone who could use this thing, so to save a few watts I took out the GPU, put it in eco mode and have been using it as my Linux server.

My NUC uses 6-7W idle.

I have played around with some mini PC's (minisforum and beelink brand), they're neat but they turned out to be not very reliable, two have already died prematurely, and unfortunately they are not end-user serviceable. Lack of storage expansion options is an issue as well, if you don't just want to stack a bunch of external USB drives on top of each other.

Preventing conception would be a genetic trait that evolution selects against.

A woman with your theoretical anti-conception genetic mutation would not reproduce, so this mutation dies out immediately.

Doing your part in a relationship’s reproductive planning is good partner behavior. This shouldn’t be a game where just one person is on the hook and the other is just along for the ride. Male and Female birth control do not exist as a one or the other dichotomy.

Except what the meme is saying is not that both partners should work together on birth control. It suggests that it should be on the man instead.

Meme also suggests that no work is being done on a male contraception pill, when in reality this is being worked on and has been worked on for decades, but there are good biological reasons why this is anything but trivial and certainly much harder than a female contraception pill.

Counterpoint: a woman taking birthcontrol is empowered because she is taking charge of her own reproduction. She doesn't have to rely on or trust the man to take his pill. After all, she would be the one bearing most of the burden in case of an unwanted pregnancy.

Additionally, purely biologically it is much easier to reliably stop conception on the female side than on the male side. A woman only produces one egg cell per month, whereas a man produces millions of sperm cells per day.

They know what -r and -n do

No we don't magically know that. We know that we have to look it up in the manual to know that.

Don't worry Ralph, I got you.

in most straight relationships I’m familiar with

So because it doesn't happen to you, it doesn't happen to anyone. Ok.

It's probably a little bit rarer than the other way around, but male anorgasmia exists especially as men get older.

But as usual, male feelings and sexual problems are ridiculed and swept under the rug as unimportant.

they are different senses, doesn’t really work as an analogy

It works just fine. Men tend to be more visually oriented, for women the physical part is often the limiting factor to reach a climax.

In both cases something external is added to get over the other party's "inadequacies".

Wonder how she'd feel if instead of her needing a physical aid, it would be him needing a visual aid.

It's like, if Mia Khalifa is on your team ... Are you mad that she scored more points than you?

$100 though ... a Chromecast used to be like $35.

For crime?

Yeah but uBlock Origin still works on Chrome too
