@rmx @freemo I know two men with moderately but clear gay accent and manner, but they are married with children. In their case it is probably innate or acquired from very early age. I doubt that they started acting in this way deliberately.

So, I suppose that we can born with this accent/manner (i.e. it is one of the many configuration of our brain), and that it is more common in gay men.

Culture can amplify some patterns, but there is usually also a biological reason. Like male and female manners.

I would love to undertand better the reason/psychology/development of some homosexual men to speak in that distinctive way of speaking that seems exclusive to gay men. Like it isnt an accent, and doesnt seem to occur naturally since its exclusive to that group. Do gay men make it a point to learn to speak that way at some point? If so why?

My best guess is as a way to show their orientation publicly to signal to other gay men, in an effort to creat connections or find companions that are also gay? But that would imply its a conscious thing they learnedto do at some point?

PS please no inconsiderate responses. Be respectful people.

@freemo Remember some "quote" of someone:
"There is no british and american English. There is just English and grammar errors."

@jaycee

I mean just look at her career.. she started it as a kid who decided not to go to school (every kids dream) and tried to use as an excuse that it was some sort of climate protest.

That would be like a education activist protesting the lack of good education by dumping oil in a river. It did nothing to help advance climate change concerns and ultimately was just an excuse for her and others to not get an education (which may have been a useful tool in addressing climate change).

But she got famous for it, and the more famous she got the more she continued and just like the self-serving interest of not needing to go to school, now her fame is that self-serving interest. I mean lets face it, she was a poor student and really has no skills of anykind to make an actual career or to make any real change.

Liberals are so damn predictable. I wonder if they realize they are the biggest promoters of the right with this shit.

You just cant have a conversation with them, ever, even when your on their side.

@jaycee Thats very possible. If you think thats the case you should explain the part of your point you think I didnt get then wouldnt you think? T...

> The employees... make the goods and services? they make the stuff and sell the stuff; they do all the work, that's why they should get the profits.

None of which would produce any profits at all if it werent for the investors, CEO, management, sales, etc. Simply providing one element of 100 needed to make profit doesnt mean you deserve all the profit.

> Anyway, this ultimately comes down to whether or not you think exploitation of labor is immoral, and obviously you don't, so there's no point in me arguing with you over this

Exploitation of people, labor or otherwise, should be illegal. We dont disagree on that, though if you think not giving 100% of the profits over to labor is exploitation then where we disagree is what is exploitation, not if it is moral to do.

@lowqualityfacts

What dialect of American do you speak?

I leave for thailand for 3 months in a few days... I already feel the stress melting away and am in a much better mood!

Did some soul searching today... couldnt find it anywhere...

Anyone else seeing this problem on ? I cant seem to replicate it, tickers work for me.

@freemo The tickers on the posts have vanished. For instance, under the username on a post, there might have been a yellow bar containing a picture...

I just saw a Dr. Now clip where a 800 lbs woman ate two pizzas to herself.. im just sitting here on my diet thinking "lucky bastard, I could go for a pizza"... not sure thats a normal reaction though :)

@special-boy @freemo How Biden et al seem to think Israel's right to defend itself even though it of course causes collateral damage seems to end when the collateral damage is white people.

I totally disagree with @freemo on a lot of this: I think Hamas started this war, Israel needs to at least significantly degrade its ability to do that again, and collateral damage is unavoidable, and Israel seems to be doing as much as can reasonably be expected to prevent innocents' deaths (less confident on that last point).

So: these aid workers being killed is absolutely tragic, but certainly no more so than any other innocent Palestinian deaths. Those deaths are on Hamas' hands.

But I totally agree with @freemo that this is absolutely rank hypocrisy.

We just had a earthquake here. Biggest one I ever felt, that was so cool.
