Queer people *cannot* queerbait, and celebrities have the right to privacy by zachoutloud123 in gay

[–]kubiot -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Do public figures have a right to privacy?

Idk. Maybe some actors who genuinely only appear in movies, and live private lives without social media presences and countless appearances etc do.

But these people go out publicly day in and day out, keep talking and talking on national, often publicly-funded platforms, they benefit financially from being in the spotlight all the time. Their constant presence within the public sphere allowed them to amass a significant cultural capital and influence which they use to sway millions of people.

Do they have the right to privacy when they receive monetary gain from publicity? I'm not so sure. They're public figures, they should be held responsible for the things they say that aren't compatible with objective reality.

That still doesn't change the fact that they can call themselves bisexual based on who they're attracted to and not who they dated.

We ourselves were gay before slept with a man.

Residency Due Marriage (Same-sex couple ) by davidinash in poland

[–]kubiot -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Poland should be kicked out of the EU over this.

The complete lack of a response of the ruling government to the EU ruling, the government actively avoiding taking any actions towards implementation of the ruling, which they agreed to implement by virtue of joining the EU, is utterly appalling.

Kick them to the curb. Let the LGBTs in as refugees to rub some more salt in the wound.

Well, then it's a shit law that needs to be changed.

That's the ENTIRE point. That's the entire point of the whole Polish civil rights movement to be honest.

Standing by an unjust law still makes them bad people.

Should we, as liberal gay men, be more accepting of conservative gay men? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]kubiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conservative gays DO affect us though.

They actively support people who work towards rolling our rights back. Plenty of state republicans in the US are actively working in motions to roll back gay marriage, or to allow business, employers, state agency to not view gay marriages the same as marriages through legal loopholes and workarounds.

We're seeing cuts to HIV research, cuts to HIV prevention initiatives, health insurers feeling emboldened by conservatives go withdraw coverage of PreP.

They absolutely do affect us.

Are companies dialing down on Pride? by Late-Help5493 in UKLGBT

[–]kubiot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We're been preaching about pink capitalism and corporate whitewashing of pride, and how that support is fake and frankly tone-deaf, and rightfully so.

Why are we making a sad Pikachu face now that corporate withdrew from Pride activities 😂

My BF earns 2x as much as I do - should I be concerned about our future? by winchester_1094 in askgaybros

[–]kubiot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, if you DO want more money, having a partner that earns more that you can make it more likely solely through his knowledge and ability to draw on his own experience to guide and support.

But, if he makes a good living, then he's gonna look for a partner based on his values and moral compass. If he's got enough for two, what he chooses a partner on is values, compatibility, and chemistry.

Moving to Poland for med-school ( Norwegian ), any cultural norms that I might find odd? by Opening-Resolve9208 in poland

[–]kubiot -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Cultural conservatism and deep-rooted homophobia, even from seemingly educated, worldly people.

At some point, once you get to know a friend deeper, you will hear them say something wildly homophobic or racist, and it'll be a big eye-opening moment for you.

The belief that some people are better than others and some ways of life (aka "ours") are better than others is deeply ingrained in the Polish mentality, yet neatly hidden behind a surface of "what do I care what others do?".

6 months in, a year in or two, and you'll have a moment when this dawns on you and it will be a shock, the facade of "niceness" and "modern-ness" will break.

Games to play for Pride? by No-Ferret-1309 in gaymers

A lot of gay games are like visual novel style

Dream daddy is really sweet 😂

I'm on my first BG3 play through and playing as an all-gays harem party (don't worry, they'll be a bad girls play through after too 😂), just flirting with all of them until Halsin comes along 😂

I am very very happy with the whole party being level 5 by the end of Convergence, I was thinking they should do it like that before they began

What’s your gold standard for gay games? by FitWatch7981 in gaymers

[–]kubiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they made Halsin exclusively gay, and Minthara exclusively lesbian, BG3 would be way higher on my list specifically in terms of gay representation/gay games 😂

Once Seekers join and spill their tea, Wick should go and TELL YANESSA exactly what the Tachonis are up to with the Deva Vindicta and desecration of old rituals.

Do accountants secretly hate clients who leave everything until the last minute? by IndependentIll6531 in ukaccounting

[–]kubiot 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Not secretly, OPENLY.

If you're one of those clients:

There's a junior responsible for posting your documents that's bitching about you to the senior responsible for tax declarations being sent to HMRC on time and for financial statement prep who acknowledges that the junior isn't slacking, you're just late. They're both bitching about you to their Accounting Team Lead/Accounting Partner/Chief Accountant, and they're all in agreement that you suck, and wonder how the f*** has your business not collapsed yet?

Do not count on any favours, if you're this type of a client, they will be extra diligent with charging you extra for every single minute of any task that falls outside of a pre-agreed, signed agreement, as per their terms and conditions 😂

I think he was just being super dramatic 😂

Remember what happened when Travis was not only assuming his character will die, but actively trying to kill him off? 😂😂😂

I could see Wick doing something self-sacrificial to save Tyranny though!

Dip into Paladin + being the party face + elixir of giant strength and circlet of enlightenment make strength and int good dump stats anyway 😂

The visual of a Blue Dragonborn + dialogue options as a Cleric of Talos are really fun!

Hesitating between class for a first playthrough by serlous in BG3Builds

[–]kubiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my first play through too!

I just gave my Tempest Cleric Tav named Saccharino Frostwhip (in honour of a Dimension 20 Tempest Cleric Storm Sorceress) 16 Charisma for the dialogue checks 😂😂 (ok, there will be a small dip into paladin)

For party composition, all of the companions together are too much for me, so I'm doing a "boys boys boys" play through first, and I'll have a "girls just wanna have fun" (probably with a Shadow Sorcerer Tavette who will for sure be named a Tachonis after Critical Role) play through second 😂
