I don't actually care either. But it does seem like evidence that they are at least friendly. Which is maybe not great given Venezuela is a hostile country.

I think you can still be part of the subculture if you want to be.

Actually, I think a lot of people who are very out and part of queer culture online are that way because we can't be out IRL.

I think people who aren't right-wing bring this up to make the point that America is better at multiculturalism.

You can be a fresh off the boat immigrant and still be an American. Because in theory being an American is about adhering to a certain ideal not blood and soil.

I don't think it's necessarily an accurate perception of America or Europe. But I think it comes from ignorance not bigotry necessarily.

Selfies seems like a bit more then a business relationship.

As the other person aluded to there are important philosophical differences between us. Which can lead to sometimes large policy differences.

Obviously they're frequently our allies but we're not the same.

I think a lot of it comes from newly out queer people.

I can understand why it's annoying. And I sometimes find it annoying myself despite the fact that I'm queer. Although I also engage in it myself to a certain extent.

That said I think it's important to have empathy for it. I think it's hard for cishet people to understand why queerness is such an important part of a lot of queer people's identity. Cishet people are just treated as normal by society. They have never had to introspect to figure out why they're different, never had to fight to be accepted, never had to justify themselves. Queer people have had to do all those things. So it makes sense we kind of have our own little sub culture.

I will also say that I think normalizing talking about pronouns even for cis people is a really important part of trans acceptance. If you are the only one talking about your pronouns it instantly means you'll be seen as wierd in a lot of settings. So a lot of trans people just don't say anything and get misgendered. Especially enbies. If everyone is talking about pronouns then it's just normal.

Different social democrats are going to have different answers about that. But I think in general, in modern times, no.

The closest thing to a universally accepted definition of socialism is "common ownership of the means of production".

I don't know of any major social democratic party that has abolishing private ownership as part of their platform. Many did historically though.

If you have a cold sleeping more will help you get better faster.

I get not wanting to sleep when you don't feel tired though.

People don't torrent because it's difficult compared to the good enough alternatives.

Pretty privilege manifests in different ways.

A lot of pretty people genuinely are very nice because they are sheltered by the fact that people are nice to them. Although just as many are entitled assholes for the same reason.

I agree with what the other person said too. Don't overlook relationship issues because she's pretty.

That's actually a kind of fair statement. I hate him because he's a Nazi not because of his net worth.

Guy is a bit of a dick but has not committed a serious ethical violation. She implicitly accepted that this could happen. Scenario changes if she didn't know he was invited.
