I am against animal agriculture for the same reason I am against sexism, racism, ableism, classism and homophobia.
The circumstances of a creatures birth does not dictate what it is “meant for”, every one deserves to live happy, healthily and with dignity, but some simply want to live.
Transition decades earlier. Or more precisely have the courage, vocabulary and fortitude to stand up to my religious mother and bigoted father. I always knew what I wanted, but they both insisted on doing football and weight lifting, no matter how out of place and unnatural those environments felt to me.
Context matters. If it’s alongside some alt right bigotry, then yes. If it’s just a dumb joke about frens and feels, then not at all.
Just how the Christian cross can be a hate sign or a sign of community. In vacuum these are just symbols a collection of shapes and color. Much like these individual pictographic letters combine to make words and sentences. When pepe is used to convey hate, then he is quite literally a hate symbol, but not in any other.
Nothing good happens there.
That’s a peak western chauvinist take right there. My wife and I are lowkey planning a trip to Thailand to explore the food, suppose that makes us some sort of creeps?
This whole concept of some places being judge worthy is racist as hell.
Fuck I hope so…
Face most replaceable with an ash tray.
It also restricts all forms of gender affirming care, including medication, from being funded by Medicare. 150,000 trans folk will soon be forcibly detransitioned, and for many, it is literally lifelong required medication because of past surgeries.
It’s controlling, cruel and needless. But thats what conservatives want so here we are.
Okay, so I’m a queer woman who is gonna do her best to level wit you. The problem is that you’re trying to come up with a sexuality based on exclusion, which inherently is going to be bigoted.
If you’re a straight man, you’re attracted to women. But if you were to say “only white women tho” then it’s clearly coming from a racialized place, even if you insist that you’re not racist, your limitations on who you are willing to consider a dateable woman says other wise. Conversely, if you were a white man who says “only asian women tho”, that’s again coming from a racialized and fetishized place. Even if it’s subconscious and unrealized bias that makes sense in your head, the context of fetishized communities is still racism.
So on the same note, it’s hypocritical to say “trans women are women” while categorically insisting that you would never date one. Does this include Trans women who have bottom surgery and pass as cis? If so, then visual attraction isn’t the only factor. If not, then clearly “super straight” has some caveats making the term meaningless.
Anytime you’re trying to define “everyone but X”, you’re inherently embracing a bigoted stance. Does this mean you’re required to date any and all women who ask you out? No, of course not. But to defining an entire category undateable speaks to bias. Lesbian women are attracted to women instead of attracted to “not men”, gay men are attracted to men instead of “not women”. To say categorical trans folk do not apply there is by definition trans exclusionary. On a case by case basis, a trans person can be rejected without bias, but categorically doesn’t just imply bias, but is such.
It literally is about prounons. It’s super shitty to dismiss another’s identity because you found it troublesome to respect the correct way to address them.
Uhm. Hey, I know you are well meaning and I’m only saying this to inform, not to call out, shame or attack.
But most trans people deeply dislike what you’re doing, it’s called degendering and it’s not an appropriate or respectful way to refer to us.
I understand you are worried about saying the wrong thing, but this is a way to deny trans people their identity but talking around it. It’s extremely noticeable and as someone who has attended more than a few trans support groups, it’s dehumanizing and upsetting. Just as non-binary folk use they/them, binary trans folk use she and him. We have one correct way to refer to us, and apart from sentance where you are referring to a group, “they” is not a safe one size fits all.
Again, I say this respectfully in effort to inform. You seem well intending, but I implore you to reconsider.
Racism used to be a problem until Lincoln and MLK fixed it.
don’t believe that is the case at .08… that’s a little buzz.
And a little buzz is too much to drive with? Respectfully, that is just rearranging titanic deck chairs. Buzzed driving should be illegal too.
As a society, we have to draw the line somewhere. Personally I am happy the line for driving 2 tons of steel is BEFORE someone feels the affect of alcohol. Driving is dangerous enough as is, buzzed still slows reaction times.
Only four Republican senators Wednesday — Rand Paul (Ky.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Mitch McConnell (Ky.) and Susan Collins (Maine)
This is a wild list of hold outs. Couple of BS "center"ists, the functional leader of the GOP for the last few decades and a batshit libertarian extremist. Fuck all 4 of em anyways, monsters every single one. But gawdamn what a collection.
Well at least you had one good experience! If they are/were a decent restaurant then sure, makes sense. But to me it seemed like a spectacl restaurant akin to Rainforest Cafe, just something to look at with mediocre food.
But different strokes for different folks. Whatevs. ♥️
When I was 12ish I was taken there by my father to celebrate an extremely awkward family friends 18th birthday. I’ll never understand the appeal of lofi strip clubs, or well, strip clubs at all really?
Maybe I am just too ace for it, but the whole thing just feels uncomfortable and weird at best. Exploitative and depressing at worst.
Yeeeah… I’m coming in to this situation cold, aside from seeing King of Kong years ago. Billy is without question an asshole, but saying he was happy about a suicide AND that the suicide was linked to his lawsuit, are both pretty clear cut examples of defamation.
Everyone I know is nihilistic and numb. We know.
It’s bad, but not even close to the worst this admin has done. However, with proper screeching of NATIONAL SECURITY and shameful reminders about BUT HER EMAILS, this might be the first thing that Dems could sell to the Republican base as grounds to remove people. And let’s be honest, that’s who the Dems are really angling to persuade.
Probably not tho, lol. Nothing will actually change. 🙃
The actual numbers are so much worse. The 15% overall “didnt know” is watered down from ~30% Republicans. They are lying either to the pollsters or more likely, themselves.
