Technically it’s not a disease until you have symptoms. Every STD is an STI that showed itself.Quote:

Maybe someone just said “I think there’s a better term for this shit.” Kinda like how the Emergency Room became the Emergency Department ……. because it’s not just one room.
It’s not like Big Nomenclature has a dark conspiracy to make people woke-er.

But I'm a middle aged white guy rapidly fading to old and by golly, STD is what I learned in 9th grade health class. Don't go changing things that don't need to be changed.Quote:

I'm not sure why we needed to broaden the term to include stuff that we don't actually have to worry about much.The worrisome stuff was covered by the old term already.
In case ya catch an STD from someone with an STI?
See I always thought disease was the broader term.
It's like Venn Diagrams mannn.
if someone has an allergic reaction to another person's sperm that's a STD that wasn't an STI
I dunno. A 20cm dick seems more impressive.Quote:

If you avoid the inches you should be able to avoid the stds.Quote:

Isn't it actually Daylight Saving Time, not *Savings*?Quote:

You mean 6.35, 9.525, and 12.7 mm drive ratchets?Quote:
