Yeah it’s pretty common to have a shit platform in Dutch homes. I think my parents have at least one.

Or a pfp of a white guy with a beard and sunglasses

I watch a lot of construction and carpentry vids on social media as that is one of my interests and the comments are often times filled with: WHERE ARE THE FEMINISTS?!?!?! FEMALE COULD NEVER DO THIS! type of stuff. Like, imagine seeing a guy build a nice door and you think to yourself: how can I make this about hating women?

Succesfull in what? Running a YouTube channel?

I fled the evil Dutch regime that prevented me from housing myself. I am a victim of capitalism! It doesn’t work!

Do you condemn Hamas the US tho?

As of now they have postponed the decision

Belgium is currently having an extra debate on joining these countries

Such an easy take to have. Of course you support not killing children. That’s what any normal human being does. Great way to ignore the hard questions in the room.

Anticolonialism is a tough thing to understand for Westerners and it makes them uncomfortable.

Here you go

Juche maybe but I am a bit offended by the Hoxha claim. We did not ban Winsconscom 438 times to be called Hoxhaists.

Gender is a social construct often upheld by patriarchal societal standards. The being of a man or a woman comes with many societal expectations, and quite a lot of people don’t agree with that. Some people go as far as to not even agree with the body they are born with. Non-binary people, for example, don’t feel like they can express themselves by being merely ‘man’ or ‘woman’ and in fact chose to be none of the two or equally both. Transgender people don’t agree with the gender they were born is as it does not coincide with the gender they feel like.

Now, I only want to comment on the gender aspect as I am sure that you, master observer that you are, can acknowledge stuff like intersex people existing, who are born with both sets of genitals for example.

Now, gender as we know it now has evolved in capitalist societies. For thousands of years the human concept of gender has been very different throughout the ages. Non binary people, for example, have been around since the beginning of mankind and have even been acknowledged by historic societies. The concept of ‘man’ and ‘woman’ is made up and should be seen as seperate from sex. Hence why some people come to the conclusion that they don’t fit in with either gender, and sometimes even that their body doesn’t match with who they see themselves as.

You comparing gender identity with someone dying and claiming to see God is a bit weird as it seems to imply that you think gender and gender expression to be somewhat of a delusion. It is not a delusion. It is not the same as someone suffering from, let’s say, schizophrenia seeing entities that are not real.

Lastly, what is your society you speak of? Is it Vietnamese? As there are a lot of transgender or genderqueer Vietnamese people. They will have their own struggle against the status quo perceived notion of gender in Vietnam, just like the LGBTQ+ communities have done in the west for example.

It means they visited an ML instance and got mad it is filled with MLs

Bye then lmao

I once saw an interesting video made by people in the Shanghai LGBTQ+ scene. I haven’t been able to find it since but I hope someone knows which video I mean.

This comment reminded me how much I miss that car lol. It made driving fun actually. Don’t want to sound like a boomer but they ain’t making em like that anymore.

I want to say cars but they have also gotten safer, so not really sure.

My first car was a 1990 Suzuki Swift. It was older than me but it just kept going. Took it to the annual inspection only to be outside in five minutes again because there was just nothing wrong with it. It had like close to 350k km mileage on it. Meanwhile my current, newer car has something breaking every year.

Reminds me of a joke

A Klansman, a wife beater and a Nazi walk into a bar

The barman goes: Good day, officer, what can I get you?

Yes absolutely. Fast food chains literally make their food more addictive in order to generate more profit. There is little to no incentive by our governments to make healthy food cheaper or to severely limit the influence fast food companies have, because that would disturb the ‘free market’.
