It serves far greater function[0].

It's serious enough that it's led to suicides[1] and suicidal ideation[2][3][4].

Fortunately, a research lab called Foregen is near to a solution to reverse male genital mutilation[5].

I implore you to view the scientific literature with skepticism.

This is a phenomenal thread on the subject by a senior research fellow at Oxford:

great info

how do you make it work “on top of the parent”? e.g. how can the parent ensure not to roll over and suffocate the child?

M5x7wI3CmbEem10··on Ask HN: Have You Regretted Immigrating?
Thank you for sharing. I've considered the suburbs, but noticed that they are limited in amenities, require significant driving, and tend to get lonely. And do I need to mention the elevated risk of school shootings?

Even if you try to meet in the middle–such as a small, walkable college town–it seems they also have issues, e.g. being rife with belligerent, violent drunks because alcohol is paramount to the "college experience" and virtue signaling is at all-time highs.

Europeans tend to hold their liquor better because it's introduced earlier on. I've also yet to see dominance displays[1] used to signal high status, a behavior akin to primates. I attribute this to sexual competition, which isn't as stressful in Europe because of more lax attitudes towards sexuality and stricter penalties/attitudes towards violence.

I personally think the best option is to make your money in the U.S., or have a thriving business that can be operated remotely, then move ~15 minutes outside of a European or Asian city center, though I'm open to alternatives.

M5x7wI3CmbEem10··on Ask HN: Have You Regretted Immigrating?
Yes.

Americans are far more violent, crass, and "independent" (selfish) than their European counterparts, despite having greater opportunities for a high income.

I've seen someone get knocked unconscious because he called a gentleman out for skipping to the front a restroom queue. I've seen trivial altercations over nonsense[1]. Words (air) lead to violence far too often. Whereas in Europe, people just ignore you, or brush you off as ridiculous/insane.

And you can't complain about crime because it's racist[2]. The ethnic strife is increasingly reminiscent of the Balkans. I wouldn't be surprised if the U.S. fractionalizes within the next few generations.

I don't feel safe, ever. I work from home and order everything via Amazon.

My plan is to earn enough to buy a house plus a 5-year cushion, then return to Europe or explore Southeast Asia.

Where do you suppose is ideal for a 20-30 year old tech worker in search of a safe place to find a spouse, avoid harsh winters, and raise kids?

Latin America and Scandinavia sound nice, but I don't have the foresight to determine whether those would be good long-term choices. Cultural difficulties, language barriers, immigration crisis, economic solvency, and so on.

Would this be appropriate for someone fresh out of high school? The only concern I can think of is the lack of socialization, which is easier to address during high school than university.
