When straight people have had centuries of being forced to conform into queer lifestyles out of religious, cultural or legal threat. Then they can have a flag.

It's not PRIDE to be proud of yourself, it's PRIDE as opposed to being ashamed of existing in public.

I'll agree that it's a mental illness, but no more than being left handed or gay. Sure it's a deviation from the statical "norm" but who does it harm and what does it matter? Let people conceptualize themselves however they like. Lots of "born again Christians" out there who talk about their relationship with an imaginary friend.

What does it matter to you how anyone perceive themselves or the world around them? They still deserve respect. You're allowed to think whatever you want about others, but using what you perceive as illness as a reason to mock or belittle them then that's just active cruelty. In your A or B scenario, both of those situations are someone deserves respect and that you yourself don't need to concern yourself with. Who tf cares if they feel special? Good for them. If you wanna think them crazy, I mean... okay? Just don't be shitty to 'em.

Besides, if you really want to get in to the philosophy of it. Where exactly is the "you" in your body? We are all a collection of living cells that are controlled by a not yet entirely determined part of thr brain. Sure parts of the brain can be damaged and that causes personality changes, but where the "you" in you truly resides is hard to say. Sounds like a swarm to me.

Essentilism is a philosophy use without realizing, but it is also a inherently immposible to prove concept, and saying "X is absolutely and only X" really doesn't allow for the messiness that is the world, or the human experience. If they are happiest as a swarm. Well rock on!

Nice gender nerd. Did your mom pick out for you?!?

Less meme, more propaganda.

Posting this sort of junior high... "joke" is a self burn. Like, what is funny? Where is the punchline exactly? That you saw women complaining so you decided to be crass like an idiot?

Well good job. We think you're an idiot. Congrats? Mission accomplished?

Bill Maher is the villain Bill Maher used to complain about. Now he brings nothing to the table besides complaining things aren't as they used to be. His past was right, and our future is wrong.

A very common question in dating culture. But this is also a good reminder how common and acceptable it is to dehumanize women by reducing them to only to the parts you care about.

Seriously, come on everyone, this is embarrassing. The motivations of the Al-Qaeda and the 9/11 hijackers was not religion, but based on revenge over US policy.

In 1996, bin Laden issued his first fatwā, calling for American soldiers to leave Saudi Arabia. In a second 1998 fatwā, bin Laden outlined his objections to American foreign policy with respect to the State of Israel, as well as the continued presence of American troops in Saudi Arabia after the Gulf War.,

Yes the language of religon was used, but the actual objections are entirely political in nature. If religion magically never existed, then the same events would play out and 9/11 still would've happened.

Srsly y'all, this is the same damn thing as the pastors blaming 9/11 "on the gays".

All children in Gaza are terriosts! Or potential terriosts! Isreal NEEDS to bomb ambulances, hospitals and water wells because that is where all the terriosts are! ya see?Any amount of infrastructure supports terriosism! Bombing is a nessecity!

It's outright ghoulish.

I don't hate Chinese people but I will be critical of the Chinese government.

I don't hate Russian people but I will be critical of the Russian government.

I don't hate Jewish people but I will be critical of the Israeli government.

I do hate Nazis tho. And I will ALWAYS be critical of racist trying to hijack protest for their sick twisted superiority BS.

In that spirit, for anyone wondering and curious. The full acronym, explanation and details can be found here.

I keep seeing the "personal responsibility" phrase in this thread and I feel like it's missing the point. I suppose the thinking is "some people ruin it for everyone", but frankly where is the corporate responsibilities? As another poster put it, why is a quadruple monster sold at a place famous for their soup? That amount of stimulus is intense for people without health conditions. Would the general public truly be losing out if Panera had this labeled as several energy drinks flavored lemonade?

The larger issue is that caffeine should be regulated to a higher degree than it is, but Panera received tons of backlash a year ago when this was debuted and ignored it. Chains this size have their meals painstakingly tested and formulated, it was reckless to treat this as just another fountain drink.
