If so, how does he pay child support? Well post-mortem erection is a thing, thus we can think that post-mortem ejaculation can be a thing too, though it's probably something no one wants to verify. Post-mortem sperm retrieval is a thing too, though I'm unsure of its legality in various countries.

It can happen. It has nothing to do with sexual stimulation though.

Is being ugly an easier life than being attractive? You don't have to dress up, date as many people, and have as many friends. Sounds like having that much free time would be to someone's advantage.

An attractive person doesn't have to do any of those things either.

There are drawbacks of being attractive no doubt, specially as a woman, but the ones you list doesn't make much sense. Have to date people? Or else? Likely you'll be asked out to more dates, but you are free to decline.
Try things like stereotypes against attractive people (stupid), sexual harassment and risk of rape instead.

Most people treat attractive people better and I think those advantages eventually snowball. A more attractive person will have more confidence because how they're treated and probably overall be more successful than an ugly person IMO. That probably only applies to the extreme cases though. If in an alternate dimension an average looking person was considered "hot" their life may not be all that different.

Yeah, I'd think the ups of being attractive outweigh the downs in general, although it'd be up to personal preference to some extent. Also, with the grass being greener at the other side, people probably don't realise what they have as much as they are aware of what they miss out on.

It is also very easy to become less attractive if you wish to be. Stop showering, get a shitty haircut (for example shave your head if you are female), eat unhealthy food and become fat, dress unattractively, tattoo a swastika on your face, start boxing, develop disgusting habits, and many more.
It is very hard to become more attractive (beyond fixing very basic stuff like the above)

i'd call those the attractiveness first world problems.
the issue here should've been ugly vs pretty and then there's being attractive. one can be attractive and ugly; just think of all the cultural norms people adhere to.

How do you define ugly vs pretty if not by cultural norms? (although I get what you mean by being attractive while being relatively ugly)

Ex: math with its magic numbers, body proportions and symmetry+ Show Spoiler +golden ratio, fibonacci sequence &co ; biology/anatomy with it's descriptive view on how a healthy body should look like (texture, color, feel ...) (anything besides culture; i really hate culture and the emphasis people put on it these days)

Good point, some Afican tribes (used / still do?) Bind childrens heads as it was considered desirable. The Japanese (might of been China, sorry I don't recall specifically) Used to bind children's feet, as again small feet were considered desirable.

These are norms for them (or were norms!), yet from a Western perspective considered odd at best. I'm sure there's a shit ton of things The East may consider weird about The West.

Some traits are attractive independent of culture:
- Symmetry of face and body - Height and erect posture - Smooth skin
That is because they provide a window into the person's genetic fitness.
Other traits are mainly culturally influenced, for example Asians prefering no hair or the current trend of skinny=beautiful.

If so, how does he pay child support? A dead guy is probably not capable of ejaculating. With some magic, if the guy is just barely dead, you could probably manage to get someone pregnant with his sperm. And as always with a dead father, he does not have to pay child support. For this it is not very relevant if he was dead when the child was conceived or not.
I'd guess it depends on how long the guy has been dead.
Sudden deaths during the act are documented (Korea, 2001 to 2005 study). 14 deaths out of 5 000 000 ppl over 4 years, probably 300 deaths/year worldwide. Out of those, a pregnancy after the death itself is possible.
Outside of these cases, yes there can be a post-mortem ejaculation and it could technically be used, but no record of it (a hoax in 2010 from a Canadian mortuary).
Children in vitro from frozen sperm of a dead male (collected while he was alive) isn't that uncommon. In vitro from sperm collected post-mortem also happened; current recommendations are to collect within 24h of the death.
Legally, the child could still inherit in some cases if the identity of the father is proven.

Facebook question.
I am person A. Person B and C are friends. I block person C. I take a picture together with person B. If I tag myself, will person C be unable to see the picture at all or will he see the photo with my tag greyed out? I think it is the former but I am not sure.
|
person B will tag herself, person C will see you both then you'll get beat up.

AHAH but I'm not sure, buddy. If I tag myself, the photo should become invisible to person C. Obviously I can't test this, that's why I am asking ;D
