You don't have any evidence!

This is my personal opinion and it might not reflect the wider community's. I'm not even giving a straight answer, just some points to think about ^^

First and foremost Pride isn't a singular event. Some are more celebratory and family friendly. But imho it's original purpose is a protest and protests aren't subject to the same rules as other places and times. e.g. you don't tend to shout in the street everyday.

Secondly this rule as an absolute doesn't make a lot of sense. Even without critiquing the wider society's rules a choker isn't the same as a full puppy outfit. (and tbf I don't see the issue with pups, it's just dress up ¯(ツ)_/¯)

Lastly, I personally find that view kinda rooted in puritanism. Why should it be shameful in the first place? It kinda has "don't ask don't tell" vibes.

Lastly, how do you precisely define what's a kink and what's not?

I asked myself and then said yes. :p

It's extremely reminiscent of the French political landscape in the 30's when all the left wing parties united themselves as the Popular Front against the rising fascist leagues.

This netted us - amongst other things - the 40h work week, paid vacations, etc.

Imho there are two angles to this question:

• First, queer folks are more likely to be kinky. Since they had to figure out what clicks for them at least once, they tend to do it on multiple aspects of their identities.
• Secondly - and this one is more of a personal standpoint - I'd argue that kinks fall under the wider umbrella of queerness or GRSM (Gender Relational and Sexual Minorities which I find way better than an enumeration acronym).

I'd also advocate for including neurodivergences under the queer brand too for instance.

Is it possible to define specifically abuse?

Are you sure about this? My English may be a bit rusty but doesn't the "or any other controlled substance" imply that only controlled depressants count?

Squirrel Appreciation Day is everyday. The little furballs deserve some love.

We got one, it's pretty much unkillable. We even used it to gather wood.

No it's "raton laveur" which roughly translates as "washing ratlet"

Why can't we care?

In which way Capitalism isn't right wing?

That's a circle.

weaponized autism?

Their bread is so sugary that in some countries it is by law a pastry.

Thanks!

Whozzat?

As we shouldn't judge people for their addictions ¯(ツ)_/¯

As a society, we should stop blaming people for being conned, falling into cults, etc.

Hey o

The planet litterally when halfway around the sun during the time I took to respond to you.

The definition of chronic insomnia is "at least 3 times a week for at least 3 monthes" (simplified but that's the idea)

So the real number of people with chronic insomnia is at the very least 2% but it's probably closer to those 18%.

I hope time has been kind to you in those last 6 monthes. I've got a new treatment that allows me to have a good night of sleep almost everyday and it's a godsend ^^
