Im lesbian, and when I came out to my dad when I was 16, his response was that I spent too much time on the internet and specifically tiktok. He was a joe roagan listener at the time but has since slowly distanced himself from the alt right rabbit hole. I think his response to my initial coming out just flipped a propaganda switch in his head that ppl like roagan helped reinforce. I’m 20 now, it’s been almost 4 years and I’m finally learning to be friends with my Dad again. Being gay is not a learned behavior but being homophobic is.

[@brookehamel08]

@@parkerthiede9751 I understand that anxiety, I'm also gay and I think my dad knows but I never really brought it up to him I just told my mom and openly talk about queer issues or good news. He's also a Joe Rogan listener and he frequently talks about Elon Musk. It's scary and I'm not in the place to leave home. I hope your dad becomes more accepting and escapes the dumpster fire that is Joe Rogan, maybe mine will too.

@@brookehamel08 yeah for me it was covid that I think really accelerated his decent into all those fake pseudo intellectual identity politics speakers . it’s not like he hates me for being gay but I also know he’d probably prefer that I was straight and that’s still hurtful. We just don’t talk about queer issues really because although he’s not alt right anymore it’s still very upsetting to hear him try to take the middle ground or play devils advocate when the topic is something like trans “issues”(aka debating whether a minority group should be allowed to exist peacefully in public spaces) in that case there is a clear right and wrong side, and when I try to express that the response is always that “you young people nowadays think you are always 100% right” like I should just compromise my beliefs a bit so I come better to a wider audience. I know he loves me and I love him, but God it’s hard to get along sometimes.

Biggest thing about what I don’t understand with Trump is most people who have a felony are ineligible to vote in the USA… so why can someone with several run as president…. Just food for thought

[@lachlanhenry486]

Trump can't vote. 😂I looked at this. We can have a president in prison. The felon thing really looks more like racial profiling and redlining, when you look at the numbers. We can vote to ammend these laws and all the other ones.

[@dietotaku]

the founding fathers did not anticipate the public being stupid enough to vote for a convicted felon so they didn't think they needed to make a rule against it.

[@izzybillings1796]

because lawmakers never thought they would need to make it a rule. seems obvious, people wouldnt elect felons. but…here we are. thats how absurd this is, its so terrible that there isnt even a law against it because it was unfathomable

[@advanceringnewholder]

Because he's rich and popular. they can do anything

[@viverra]

Whether a felony removes your right to vote varies by state. In some states, you can vote even from prison. In others, your voting rights are restored after you have served your time. In others, they can be restored but you have to put in an application. And yes, there are places where being convicted of a felony removes your right to vote entirely. Also, the Constitution deliberately does not prevent felons from running or holding office. Remember, many of the Founding Fathers had been convicted (under English law) of insurrection. The signing of the Declaration of Independence was supposedly accompanied by the phrase, "“We must all hang together or we will all hang separately”. If the revolution had not succeeded, most of them would have been jailed or executed.

[@rachelblake2350]

Not only have I never once had a TikTok account, but I grew up in a highly religious country where there is no trans community whatsoever. I didnt even know what being trans is until I was 18. But despite that, ever since I was a child, ever since I could understand the basic concept of boys and girls being different in some at the time unknowable way, I knew I was born in the wrong body. I knew I was a girl, even back then. So in a complete vacuum of transness, where there was no trans community, in an era before social media entirely, I knew that I was and am trans. I am living proof that the social contagion hypothesis is nonsense.

[@katyungodly]

I also grew up in a highly religious community and didn't even know thay trans people existed and still turned out to be trans. Funny how that works.

[@waffles3629]

Yep, very similar upbringing and I knew I hated my assigned gender since forever. Heck I called puberty torture and said it should be made illegal, which of course only got me laughed at and told I was acting childish (I know, shocker, a 10 year old child was acting childish). I started puberty about 6 years before I learned trans people existed. I had dreams about getting breast cancer because I thought that was the only way I'd be able to get rid of my chest I so deeply hate. Like multiple times a week dream. Wanna guess how many of those dreams I've had in the nearly decade since coming out as trans and learning about top surgery? Zero. Still haven't gotten top yet, but simply knowing it's an option is amazing.

[@blowinatranny]

Remember when we used to call being trans a metal illness like being anorexic weird that for some reason we still don't call being anorexic being trans fat

[@GateKeeper_Systems]

Yep i found out i was trans when my transphobic parents kept talking about 'the transgenders taking over' Idk what it is with bigots refering to people like 'the blacks' 'the women' 'the gays' 'the transgenders' I call them people, because that is what they are.

[@OneTrueBlender]

I actually experienced the same thing. I'm FTM, but waaaay back before I realized that, I had a crush on this girl in kindergarten, I would ask her out without knowing Im asking her out. And its funny because every adult around me would tell me that queerness is "contagious" and that's how people get queer. I absolutely had nobody to tell me it was okay or anybody that experienced the same thing, so that really just disproves the harmful mentality

It's literally cheaper to give homeless people a shoe-box apartment, some basic internet, water, power & climate control, and some counseling. It costs less in the long-term & has a far greater success rate of getting people out of poverty.

Gradually increasing the lightness of your hair tends to work best but extremely difficult if you have hair like mine which is obscenely thick and dark- unfortunately patience is key if you want to dye your hair to bright colours and ensure healthy hair and reduced risk of oil stripping

[@crumble2000]

It's even worse than flat earth! At least "the horizon looks flat" makes sense. But how can you deny climate change when every year has record temperatures and number of heat waves (not even counting other disasters). There used to be snow in winter where I live twenty years ago, now I can barely see it on mountain tops. There were maybe two heat waves in the 2000's, now there are two per year. This is first hand experience (for me)! But I guess they've moved the goalpost to "climate change is natural" or "it cannot be stopped". (I have even seen something along the lines of "hurricanes are created by the left to punish christians", so the more the climate changes the more anti-left they become.)

[@gaildahlas]

The goalposts have definitely shifted - I know some previously reasonable people who've fallen into the rabbit hole saying "climate change is natural, look at this graph and ignore the way the change you're worried about is so much faster and more drastic than any others". It's very disappointing and most disagreement gets hit with immediate hostility, so I don't talk to them about the weather anymore.

I have a sticker I bought that literally says “I won’t agree to disagree on human rights” and that’s absolutely the stance I have for certain issues for like politics and stuff, and what sucks is both of my parents are definitely going to vote right instead of left and so I’m just like “yeah so your kid is directly affected if you didn’t realize that btw” (trans masc guy who is in fact out) I find politics stupid and the fact that human rights are up for debate the worst part of all

[@eyesistorm]

For real. I wish politics were in a state where you can disagree with the other party, but still respect their opinion.

... I've actually never met a child that became religious out of "I wanna". Religion is a way to fit in somewhere and find a community. It's not about believing anything actually cause if it where, why join THAT SPECIFIC religious group and not an, other? Whilst being trans makes you an outcast from a lot of groups and people try to hide it zo avoid that pain. It is such a stupid analogy, that doesn't even makes any sense. You don't "transition" into religion, you get "converted" and the fun thing is: "you GET converted" but "YOU transition" And as a german who grew up in a household where my mom liked to go to church for a long time (that changed when she had to work on sundays and that simply faded into not going anymore), I can say that being "Christian" doesn't make you a freaking ahole. Being a fundamental Christian makes you an ahole it seems~ And I am always sooooooooo mad at the "yeah, but basic biology says diffrent!" - because BASIC BIOLOGY IS BASIC!! basic biology ALSO tells you platypusses are not real! It tells you seahorses reproduction isn't correct! It tells you snails are in themselves absolutely wild cause having an animal that is both sexes at once is completely against "two sexes"! Bonobos who have intercourse foe bonding are also not existent, cause basic biology says that's for making offsprings! Basic biology states that a reptile without feet is a snake, but oh no! Slowworms exist and they are lizards! (I hope that's the right name, cause it just confused me that there are two names for that creature in english... In german it's "Blindschleiche") And basic biology tells us that only birds and insects can fly, but oh no! Bats exist! ...

The Martha's Vinyard comment comes from a stunt, of when the Governor of Florida thought he would "own the libs" and show that they are hypocrites by enticing asylum seekers into a plane that flew to Martha's Vinyard, an island near Boston that some think of as a liberal outpost (the Kennedy compound is there). The Governor told them (through a translator) that they would be housed and given jobs. The plane landed and the refugees deplaned. There was no one there to greet them. No one on Martha's Vinyard were even told they were coming. It was off-season, so the rich people who owned the mansions were not there. The year-round residents came to the rescue, and found a place for the asylum seekers to stay overnight and fed them, but then most had to be sent to Boston where there were organizations and resources necessary to handle them. Even though Massachusetts protested, and I think the Florida governor was sued for essentially kidnapping these people (enticing under false pretenses), some people on the right still consider this stunt a 'win' against the 'eastern liberal elites'.

As for what it is, it's a common holiday dish in the US! It's cut green beans (my family tends to use canned ones but some people poach/boil their own using fresh ones), cream of mushroom soup, worcestershire sauce, and french fried onions (if you know funyuns, or any other onion-flavored puffy crisp they're like that but broken up) all thrown together in a pan and cooked in the oven for a bit then topped with more french friend onions.

[@FrozEnbyWolf150-b9t]

Also, there's something to be said about growing it at home, or otherwise using fresh ingredients as opposed to canned or frozen. Canned green beans (or any kind of canned vegetables for that matter) are the worst, and are no indication of the actual texture or flavor. They tend to be mushy, full of added salt and preservatives, and taste like the can. Taste and texture sensitivity is a common autistic trait, which is why I always try to go fresh if I can.

Today at work I heard a coworker (let's call him Gary) bemoaning the notion that there's a newer and more positive slang meaning for "goat". He's of the opinion that a "goat" is a someone who's blamed for a failure or loss, but someone else in his work group (let's call him Ryan) countered, "First of all, you need to relax. Second, goat doesn't mean that anymore - someone who's called a goat is iconic... it means greatest of all time." And from there they went back to their ongoing debate about TV and American football. The comment Jamie made about changes in language reminded me of that conversation as well as the benefit that changes in language (formal or slang), culture, etc make to the world in general. Without change, things get stagnent; if that stagnation persists for too long, there are negative effects. I'll get off my soap box now.

[@silkwesir1444]

Yes, but you can already tell that usage of "goat" is not going to stick for very long. It's more like weather, less like climate, in a case like that. Maybe a good roal of thumb is: If you need to do it in a funny voice in order for it so sound right, it probably is short lived. What gives it its advantage in the short term (being flashy) is also its downfall in the long run (becoming tedious).

[@anthonyislate]

This sounds like just a misunderstanding or miscommunication tbh. What "Gary" was talking about is a scapegoat, someone blamed for sth that isn't their fault. I've never in my life heard it being used shortened to just goat tho. So he wasn't wrong, he was just thinking of a completely different word (and also misremembering what the actual word was)

[@asongfromunderthefloorboards]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1843">30:43</a> -- "No human is illegal -- Except in Martha's Vineyard" is a reference to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis tricking 50 migrants into getting on a chartered jet and dropping them off in Martha's Vineyard in Massachussets. Martha's Vineyard is a tiny rural community on an island that is known for being the summer country home of very wealthy people, including politicians. So the idea was that the rich and politicians don't have to deal with immigrants, so they were going to force them on them. But the people in Martha's Vineyard, both locals and the wealthy who were summering, opened their homes and churches to the migrants until they could take the ferry to the mainland and get people more resources. So the joke is that "Liberals only like immigrants if they don't have to be around them."

One of my parents likes to preach that LGBTQIA+ identity is "learned" behavior or the fault of social media or some such silliness. This same parent has no idea I'm aroace and nonbinary. I was nonbinary and aroace before I even knew those were options--certainly before I was on social media (the early 2000s). I just wasn't romantically or sexually attracted to anyone, which was fine. And when I started not identifying with my assigned gender at 8 or 9 years old I thought "Oh, there's only 2 options? Well, if this one doesn't fit, I'll try out the other one!" When the other one felt better but still not quite right, "neither" wasn't an option ever presented to me. But, after A LOT of thinking it over, I just decided ON MY OWN that I didn't care for gender actually lol. No gender for me, thanks. It's that simple. Just because we have more widespread knowledge and labeled categories now for simplicity's sake, doesn't influence how people identify. People will be whoever they are in the end regardless. LGBTQIA+ people have always existed, even before widespread social media access. And there's very little harm in experimenting. 💜🏳‍🌈

I'm not trans. I know I'm not trans because I have the language to identify how I feel about being a woman.
