Too many people put math into their search engines and not their calculator.

People are doing what now? fr? There’s a whole ass app for that.

All LGBTQIA+ people are cool, but I draw the line at landlords. Enough is enough, goddamnit.

You mean it hasn’t already gone to shit??

Okay but why does this look better than the actual thing though

Hey at least they fired the guy. How many US cops do you think have been accused of sexual harassment and not been fired? (It’s a lot, I bet)

Promoted!

This is the most fucking UK thing I’ve ever seen, like I know it’s sexual harassment and gross, but I swear to god I knew at least 10 dudes that would’ve done this and laughed their ass off in college.

Also as seen in my other comments from my experience liberals can’t handle someone opposing their ideas, while i admit, I see a lot of hate towards the LGBTQ+/BLM folks you simply can’t force everyone to like who you are.

So from this statement, what I’m hearing you say is that hating on LGBTQ and racialized folks is okay just because they’re existing and asking to be “liked”. Is that right? They should expect that people will hate them and try to take their rights away and they should just shut up and accept that?

To put it in another perspective, if I saw someone who looked like you and was open about their love for guns, and I made the assumption that because of the gun, they are a violent criminal, then would it be okay for me to be outwardly hateful towards you? Would it be okay for me to try to ban you from going to the gun range just because I think that makes you a violent criminal? Would you just accept that?

Do you see the parallels?

Based on the gun comments, you clearly understand what it’s like to feel like your rights are being stripped from you. So do you think it’s fair for you to minimize the feelings of others who feel the same, and who are acting out to defend themselves in the same way that you are?

To address your other comment, I completely agree that the liberals didn’t do enough to address homelessness, but I also strongly believe that incarcerating people who are struggling with mental health/substance issues is not the answer and will only lead to higher cost for taxpayers to put and keep those people in jail.

I don’t expect you to answer to any of this, btw. Just food for thought. I’m always interested to see why “the other side” thinks the way they do.

Lol yeah sorry I should’ve said drag queen competitions. What you described happens to me all the time in reverse when people talk about car drag racing. I watch too much RuPaul.

Circus comparison is good but I prefer drag race. It’s a bunch of (generally) men in costumes and make up performing very well-practiced routines for the sole purpose of entertainment, with one rigged winner at the end.

Maybe wrestling fans wouldn’t like that comparison as much.

So why did you vote conservative? Was it simply “I don’t want liberal” or do you actually like their policies? (Genuine question I’m not trying to insult you)

I think Wab Kinew should go federal and take lead of that party. I think choosing an indigenous person might still be a bit too progressive for some parts of Canada but I genuinely think he could do really well.

Bless project managers. The ones I’ve seen in IT seem generally better off because programmers and engineers seem to be better at getting their work done, but outside of IT, it’s like herding cats trying to get people to do their shit. I do not understand how any of you can do it full time.

I’ve done my fair share of project coordination and have had people tell me I should go into project management officially but quite frankly I’d rather chew glass. Y’all are saints.

“Gutted” gets every single time, but for the most unfunny and fucked up reason.

I was at a bar and a guy was describing how his pet got hit by a car and he found it kind of split down the belly, then he said “I was gutted”, describing his reaction. But his pet was also quite literally gutted. I didn’t laugh or anything but it was just such a dark thing to say it was almost funny.

Kind of like when COVID cleared up the air for weeks. Of course that was also awful for the economy, but it’s almost like our normal way of overconsumption is killing the environment…

Then you’re not being anti-“popular thing” you’re being pro-linux

If anyone ever needs to understand why sex ed is important, I’m gonna send them here.

Views = money/support for them. Doesn’t matter if you’re laughing or not.

Yeah the conservative thing has been so wild to me since I never saw my immigrant parents or millenial friends gain a ton of wealth or get more conservative. The political ideology is very clearly tied to wealth but I’m seeing even wealthier parents of friends not buying into it because they see how badly the economy has been fucked for their children and grandchildren.

I feel like people are making me feel like I’m crazy for being worried for my uncle who is a (gay) social justice professor in California but I can’t be that fucking crazy right? He’s an activist and an immigrant, he should be getting the fuck out of there.
