Eh, it’s more that pride is a rejection of the shame we’ve been taught to feel. But then you get into the fact that we aren’t telling straight people to be ashamed, we’re telling bigots that if anyone should be ashamed it’s them

Yeah either of those scenarios makes me think one of them is eventually turning back to gay sex. Sure bisexuals can have lifelong monogamous relationships with people of a different gender and they often do it happily, but how happily do they tend to do it with people bragging about how they defeated their partner’s queerness?

Why would I care if straight people got engaged in June? It’s a lovely time to get engaged.

Pride month can’t get canceled, it’s like Labor Day, if you let it be ceremonial it will, and if you don’t we won’t.

No but rice contains the rest.

Ouch yes, very true, but ouch

Ok yeah that sounds awful. I was taught it by an engineer and it was great

Linear algebra was so much easier. It’s just vectors

As an American authority is hated and enforced. Our culture is highly competitive and authority focuses aren’t above it.

That sounds really nice. As an American I try to live like that but it often is difficult in our culture

Idk yank units sounds really catchy

Well of course she can’t have side chicks. Homosexuality is a sin. Unless he does it

And we shoot back. Yes the class war

For the last one it’s more competitive than you think. I’ve gotten laid thanks to a bike people didn’t even see. Gets you an ass that does wondets

Shit, that’s an impressive deadlift

I’m attractive, moderately charismatic, large, weird, generally kind, and unable to shut my damn mouth.

I’m able to blend into my surroundings, but I have to choose to. The rest of the time yeah, everyone figures out who I am

I try to be. Don’t always succeed, never recognize when I do, but try so hard my wife makes me stop martyring myself for others

Reproduce. And they were infertile

I’m smart and had middle class parents and went into the family profession. I have a friend who’s smart as hell, but had unsupportive and poor parents, she’s just learned she’s a perfect match for a variety of office work, as well as learning that given her talents and what she likes there’s a well paid and respected profession that she could do well in. When I was her age I had my degree and was working in my field for middle class pay.

I’ve been coming to harsh understanding of how deep inter generational wealth and class goes through knowing her

I fully agree. But people get better things. Not voting means they don’t. Not voting means the people who want worse things get what they want

It absolutely does though. You can’t elect worker ownership of the means of production but you sure can elect anything from fascists to social democrats. I for one don’t want fascists to control my government
