Your thoughts on "pride month"


I notice it's becoming a mainstream thing in California.

Shops making pride month merchandise like special t-shirts etc.

Should it be?

reply

There's that whole "First Amendment" thing and all, where people are allowed to express themselves freely. Combine that with the factor of majority civic approval, and this might be a classic case of of I-don't-know-what-you-hope-to-accomplish-with-this-topic-but-I-support-your-right-to-needlessly-stir-outrage-and-look-like-an-idiot-doing-so-itus.

Check with your regular attending physician. It could be more advanced than you think.

He's a philistine, he uses words like "Hollyweird".

reply

You find it not to be pervasively and unnaturally "weird"?

Do tell...

reply

when you say 'it' do you mean, Pride Month, the First Amendment, or Hollywood?
never mind, I don't find any of those things weird.

Do try and pay attention, I was responding to:

"He's a philistine, he uses words like "Hollyweird".

Hollywoodland is by any known definition the physical locus of depravity and weirdness.

The remaining 2 red herrings you'll have to fillet out yourself.

I don't pay attention to it.

Sick of all the PC nutters and their virtue signalling.

reply


Amen! I'm VERY f***ing sick of it!

๐Ÿ˜Ž

reply

Yup. And the companies jumping on the bandwagon to use virtue signalling as their marketing.

reply

The other year we had a referendum on Same Sex marriage, all these businesses putting up signs saying they support it. I don't want to know about the politics of a coffee shop. Good for the wallet though as I just avoid these places now.

reply

Yeah I mean we cant have virtue signaling, thats just wrong!

Nothing wrong with invirtue signaling by the negative types, though, RIGHT?

reply

someone on the boards tried to shame me the other day for liking Hollywood, depravity, and weirdness. Can you imagine??

reply

Oh I saw Painekiller, yeah that one is a very very blatant troll who has been going hardcore since that sock account was created.

Plus he lies constantly in his posts, so yeah, definite troll.

reply

thank you. i thought i was taking crazy pills or something.

Dude, on another note, i really applaud your tenacity, educating is hard work, and the pay is shit.

reply

oh and another thing that fuck, EthanEdwards, he tried to slut shame me yesterday.

reply

"EthanEdwards, he tried to slut shame me yesterday."

Damn.... Yeah he's certainly a tribalist meat-head type, but this sub-thread is my first encounter.

Thanks for the heads-up, I will remember that name.

reply

Saw it, and wow that was quite entertaining. He states elsewhere he is not American, and speaks about Europe, so I get the feeling he's from one of those central or eastern European countries where the men are more likely to still be old-school types that are afraid of the spread of things like feminism.

reply

the thread is littered with words like slut, whores, tarts, cheap etc. and he tries to speak for women too, in the most ignorant of ways "women had it good in the 70's and 80's", just everything he says, makes me wanna type very naught things, and i gotta stop an take a gosh darn cleansing breathe.
A real heart
warmer.
dudes got to go.

Don't even get me started!

????

I couldn't care less what people do in their bedrooms, but I get irritated when they shove their sexuality in my face,
or when they demand special privileges. And they do that all the time. I also dislike companies getting into the act.

reply

but I get irritated when they shove their sexuality in my face


Can't you have them arrested for that?

reply

capitalism

reply


"capitalism"??

๐Ÿ˜Ž

reply

"companies getting into the act"

reply


Ah. They are free to do that, but it irritates me, and I tend to not do business with them.

๐Ÿ˜Ž

reply

do you like when women shove their sexuality in your face?

reply


I don't like anyone to shove their sexuality in my face! Would you like a man to shove his sexuality in YOUR face?

๐Ÿ˜’

reply

you never been to a strip joint ??

reply


That's not what I was talking about, and you know it. I don't want them to shove their sexuality in my face in politics, businesses, everyday life, and vulgar parades where they prance around almost naked in front of children. They're fucking perverts.

And I don't like anyone shoving anything in my face. Do you??

๐Ÿ˜’

reply

oh, but it is what were talking about. Hetro;s been flaunting there sexually since day one. If I hold hands and/or kiss my boyfriend in public, I get to feel safe. But if I hold hands and kiss my girlfriend, we're gonna most likely get hooted and catcalled at. And if two men hold hands and kiss, their lives are in danger. (unless we're in The Village or San Fran)
Let's let them have their free time! Just simply look away.
Or move to Wyoming. It's really beautiful there.

reply

But no, it was not was I was talking about. And I'm not in favor of anybody flaunting their sexuality in anyone's face. So just ignore them. But Wyoming is beautiful, though not many people there.

And the word you wanted there was their sexuality.

๐Ÿ˜Ž

reply

i have a broken wrist: more than just spelling, but lots of typos.
It makes me happy that we can agree on Wyoming!

reply


Sorry to hear about your wrist. I officially withdraw my snarky comment. Hope it gets better soon.

๐Ÿ˜Ž

reply

i can handle snarky, i some times dish it too.

reply


Fair enough.

๐Ÿ˜Ž

reply

what happened to your wrist ??

reply

i fell 'wrong'. cast from knuckles to elbow.

reply

take care

reply

i'm beginning to realize that i'm not very good at taking care of myself.

reply

Most of us are busted up here sweetie

You fit right in๐Ÿ˜‰

reply

code for falling wrong = so embarrassing as to not be repeated verbally or in the written word.

reply

No worries

You're company is appreciated

reply

Lol ! I once told a dancer I would take a private lap dance from her only if she promised to constantly "shove those beauties in my face." She enjoyed the compliment and readily agreed.

reply

๐Ÿ˜Š

I can't tell my strip joint story. Let's just say I was young and green and it took place in Montreal. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

reply

I lived in Bangkok for a while, so yeah.

reply

I have, a rather depressingly seedy experience marked by overpriced beer, sleazy looking women, and a clientele best suited for the local animal shelter.

reply

aim higher

reply

Oh thanks but no thanks, the idea of slipping currency in some tart's g-string frankly appalls me.

reply

I did not know it existed.

reply

Never heard of it either
I had to google it

reply

Fine by me. Rainbows look nice.

reply

Any excuse for a couple of scoops is fine with me - Slรกinte!

reply

Seems happy and pleasant enough to me!
