Companies have always virtue signalled. They pretend to care about what the society cares about. They just want customers. They did this during the war eras,
Proudly displaying patriotic symbols and declaring their support for troops. Just for example.
From what I hear, it was especially...
Tell that to your government. The US like I said, largely treats organisations like people. Most societies do to a degree, I guess. But it’s especially prominent in the US. And you guys love to harp on about freedom so, you guys gotta live with the consequences I guess :shrug:l
Why shouldn’t it? Does bird watching disqualify someone from supporting certain communities or causes?
The company chose to display that flag
I thought Americans were supposed to be for freedom to exercise one’s choice?
Again, a reaction that is far more telling about said folks than the Alphabet Soup community
Like for example, some might say that straight people are constantly shoving their experiences down the throats of others.
How often in public do you see couples holding hands?
See people showing off...
What’s counterproductive about showing your support for the Alphabet Soup community? (even if it’s shallow)
Like what?
If it’s counterproductive to show a pride flag in a society, that says far more about said society. Like damn!
Legit the other day I went to Officeworks for some printing ink...
Lol I wonder if the rainbow lorikeets run the local hub for all the gay birds to convene at
I mean they’re a literal rainbow after all :shrug:
As for businesses flashing the rainbow flag.
Like a business probably couldn’t care less if their money comes from gay folks or literal Nazis. Money is...
Ahh the forebearers to the so called “Skepticsphere” that happened in many an online Atheist space a few years back.
(I swear that community alone could be studied by psychiatrists for years lol
Oof the whirlpool of weirdness that group lead younger me into lol. But that’s neither here nor...
Does seem like a funny oversight to point out, admittedly
My own personal conspiracy theory is that folks in Academia have a long running bet between themselves to see who can come up with the most outrageous talking point and get public support for it lol
Weirdly, I remember that being a (faked?) outcry a few years ago.
That the word “human” had a male bias.
Like I said, don’t know if folks were just trolling or if this was a real outcry by “Karens”
But still lol
Whilst I certainly agree (and I feel terrible about it)
The reality is that schools are the last bastion of teaching children morality and ethical values. Due to awful home circumstances.
I’m speaking in general terms, of course
Whilst I sincerely wish that wasn’t the case, it is a reality...
They’re not nonfunctioning, though???
With egg donation (a common practice used by cis individuals as well) pregnancy and births have been successful in such cases.
It’s not medically reccomended, due to increased risks associated with the “process.” But it’s been a successful practice...
Ahh so a person literally born with external female genitalia, a uterus and fallopian tubes (Swyer Syndrome) are male because of their Y chromosome.
Interesting
The SRY gene in the Y chromosome is what typically causes testes to develop in the embryo, causing internal and external male...
That is actually pretty true.
Like for example growing up, I had to constantly kind of translate my culture and my language to my friends. Many of whom were bilingual themselves, now that I think about it. Many had immigrant parent/s like myself.
That kind of puts things in perspective a bit...
Interesting
I’m super curious to try an aged cheese now. That sounds amazing!!!
I’ve always been hesitant just because the concept weirds me out a bit. But like I get it. Aged cheese would be similar to aged wine, right? As in the aging process just makes it taste better
The Huntsman cheese...
So this might be a bit random lol
But recently I’ve been exploring some cheese options. The Bega (a popular brand here) cheddar was getting boring.
I’m interested in your favourite types of cheese and favoured ways to eat them.
Swiss, I dunno Italian? Whatever. Have them on crackers or in a...
