I mean, I guess depending on context? This really isn't about static titles though. Like, nobody fought for straight people to be allowed to exist. Even in our modern age gays are still executed for being themselves. It's understandably offensive if someone is like "I want to show pride too!" if the thing you're proud of is winning the right to openly exist and the thing they're proud of is... being the more socially accepted and advantaged class?

It's not a perfect comparison but it's almost like if a rich person wanted a trophy for being rich because the lower class just got a trophy for surviving being poor.

You're so right! The straights are so brave and persecuted!

It's so hard to be considered the only valid sexuality by the majority of people and religions. They should definitely cater to the straights. The lgbtqia+ population shouldn't get a single thing- not protections, spaces, clothing, or even name tags that straights don't.

Think it's time that the straights get a pride day? Maybe a white lives matter movement is in order too! Maybe we should have a mens day as well. Hell, let's do something super special for all the straight white men since they have it so tough and their title is important and they fought soooooo hard for it.

I'm glad I was born a normal straight instead of a really fucking fragile straight.

We will be okay. We WILL.

We're going to be fine. Make sure to stay close with any vulnerable friends (lgbtqia+, immigrants, people with darker skin.) And if you fit into any of those categories try to really connect with your community and your neighborhood for safety. Our personal bonds will be very important.

But really, nothing is going to change for a while. The trumpers who voted for him are still going to be working their shitty dead end jobs pretending they saved America with nothing changing or getting better for them. We're still going to be working and worrying and preparing for the worst but things will similarly not change for us. It's mostly going to be the rich getting richer and regulation dying.

There will be deportations. It will mostly be for undocumented people. If you know any undocumented "illegal" immigrants or children of them try to make sure you have a way to contact them because things will be messy for them. There will be hate and more hate crime.

Most of what trump wants is money and praise. He probably doesn't really care about anything else. Those are just voter issues and the people who voted him in come third if at all.

Just stay close to people if you can. Your best safety net is people who can vouch for you and vulnerable peoples best protection is you vouching for them and being there if they need something. W

Beat off one last time and then hope they aren't right about reincarnation.

Yo chill. The context makes it pretty obvious. Why would trump push something Harris is doing? The editor is doing fine. I see the potential confusion and ambiguity you're talking about but save the outrage for something more constructive.

Give me an alternative bro. Someone else to vote for bro. Someone less fascist bro.

Boost!

This happens to me all the time. Damn self checkout.

Recruiters will still be excited about his qualifications and reach out!

I really would rather my taxes not go to dipshit Donald or geriatric Joe. There are roads that need fixing and libraries that need funding.

You're replying to the wrong guy silly. I didn't blame you for pointing anything out lol.

Your valid criticism is... to beat the shit out of them? I mean look, I've seen some bad criticism but that's not even in the right basket.

Wish I could read the article.

TIL a lot of people can't feel themselves sweat if they're in the shower.

Ionized water 💀

Wow! What a blast from the past! My uncle actually actually directed the spin off "The Brave Little Toaster takes a bath"

Let's try to sow unity instead of division.

I've gone vegan before. Mostly because I think animals are gross and carry disease as opposed to doing it for ethical reasons. I also love steak and feed my snakes mice. Everyone is different. Stupid people will be stupid and people without empathy will be cruel. I grew up in a rough neighborhood where I knew of not one but two different men who beat their dogs and one, I believe, to death. Neither vegan as far as I know. Ostracizing a certain group will only make them band together more strongly. Empirically speaking. I know personal experience can make a ton of self-righteous hate. I can't speak to what you've seen. But the majority of people in any group are just normal folk unless it's religion or a cult. The broader the group the more normal people within it. You're criticizing a diet choice for fucks sake. Everyone is going to have different reasons. I know a very cool person (a practicing vet in fact) that is vegan because her body can't process fats or oils found in almost every animal product.

If you really feel for animals that this happens to you should try to make change and be involved. Educate people. Fuck, there's no way you'd ever care to, but you could go to vegan events and educate people on why some animals cannot survive a vegan diet.

Make the problem better.

Or just keep spreading hate and exclusion and making the problem worse.

Whoah whoah whoah. Let's chill with the general fuck vegans statement. Most vegans are just people. Now the psycho vegans who try to make their cats eat vegan. Fuck those people. But broad statements like "fuck this group" tend to stick in people's heads and promote undeserved hate. "Fuck the Nazi's"? Yeah. "Fuck Germans"? No.
