I can not really hate on them depending on popular vote. I would wish if we do not have political stuff, but most of those posts and votes comes from people who are really upset of current us administration, and just venting out

schadenfreude

i did not know what the word meant, but looked up, and it is essentially no catharsis, and this is something i also proposed in my post asking for help regarding rules for this sub.

i have made you a mod, in case something is wrong (federation does not work well with moderation, and for simplicity, you would have to make a .world account, i did too. many of my mod actions from other account do not federate back), please message

i did a post in this community to ask if we should change rules, and got a pretty poor response. in the comments, people said political news can be uplifting, so we have not deleted political stuff. I can not single handedly change the rules

i try to check twice a day, can not check while at work or i am asleep. there is a deleted post almost once in 2 days.

hence i added that i am not denying you, i expected you meant either with american context, or state specific

this is not true in general. I am not denying this, but in india, many indian metropolitans voted for conservative party (we do not have a 2 party system, so it is hard to call 1 party as conservative, but current govt is definitely very conservatives)

If it were not patented, it would have been great, but it is still good

I never said plastic should be used for clothing, though I am not saying it should not be used. I justt have not studied enough about it. My naive guess is that in general clothing made out of “only” plastic may not be comfortable due to other reasons (surface finish, general stiffness and flexiblity, permeability and what not). And Micro plastics is not a problem unique to plastic (well maybe micro “plastic” is unique to plastic if we are being pedantic), basically all materials undergo abberation, and resultant micro tears or fractures result in micro debris for all products - ceramics, metals (less for metals due to some other reasons, what you usually get corrosion products) and plastics. And in general all these micro “things” are harmful to us, some more some less (due to the fact that we are not isolated, we have intakes (breathing, feeding, drinking, and general absorption, and then eventual accumulation - which may result in damages, for example, absestos, is basically micro silica, binds alveoli). In fact (not very rigorus statement, more of a statement on whole classes instead of extreme cases) among these micro “things” - micro plastics would likely be least harmful because of “almost” inert nature of plastics

Though I completely agree with your narrow part (contained is not necessary due to above stated reasons, basically it is unavoidable). And I also agree with your part of alternatives that don’t last forever, and clothing, or packaging in general is indeed the best use case for this

plastic is not unnecessary - it is genuinely wonderful, we just have to learn to use it only for stuff which is meant to stay, and not just single use and throw

take my upvoote and get out of here

It is one of the rules of Internet - you are male, English speaking American.

(I am not an american though, so I technically don’t exist)

It is still one of our best bets which are somewhat publically accessible (as far as I understand)

Also, the red shield should be already federated I think, it may not be visible because mbin ui may not have added it yet, in case you want to confirm, you can check source for the raw comment (the json), it should have the tag somewhere

Thank you for understanding.

Again with the snarkiness. Did you even read it? They do not prefer to be reduced just down to their label, they more than that. I am not really interested in turning your opinion on me, and you clearly do not want to understand what I am saying. Also these are my personal opinions, not as moderators.

And for clarifications, if a mod wants to, they can check a box for the comment to “Speak as Moderator”. For demonstrational purposes, i will do so for this comment.

no, I am mod, and this reply is just said as normal comment, if I had to say it as a moderator, i would have spoken other way. This was my opinion.

You are free to post any news, queer related or not. I particularly had problems with the title, and for more detailed explanation read other replies from others and me. As someone else said very concisely, my problem is that using labels is reductive. In my opinion the identity of rescuers is not that important. But someone else said that their opinion - “To me headline highlights the intersectionality and solidarity shown when of one group of historically oppressed people (refugees) is rescued by another group historically oppressed group (gay people).” which is perfectly valid. I think it is okay to have different viewpoints. If you disagree, please correct me.

Just to clarify - problem was not queer website, or someone posting about queer people. And whatever I said was my opinion.

Also from perspective who writes stuff (my domain is scientific articles, so may not directly apply) - Your title is the hook for article - and it is the photo of your product which goes in the catalog, and since catalogs have limited space - you can only put a finite amount of details in it, ideally the most enticing one. If you put “Gay” as the very first word in the title, this story (from the perspective of person just reading the title) would see this as the main element in story. This is again putting a label on them and their identity.

Sorry, but I have never heard of them (they are not big over where I live). From checking out there about page - they produce media related to LGBTQIA+. I dont have any strong opinionabout them, but If I extrapolate from the little bit that I got from there recommended articles on the linked page

56 celebrities you didn’t know are gay, bisexual or lesbian

this just seems like people who capitalise on people who are fans of these celebs, and also potentially LGBTQIA+ folks who may look upto them. I don’t have any problem with latter, It is good to know about people who have a successfull carreer, but I do have problem with first (which has arguably a large audience - any celeb fan). I am in general not interested about any celebs and I dont like this kind of content.

Going to their homepage - I found politics. Mostly statements by US leaders (conservatives vs liberal) views on LGBTQIA+ folks and their rights. And there are other celebrity posts. I am not American, so I don’t really care about them.
