Dyskolos

It’s literally in the term. But yeah sure, it’s easier to just smack the same label on everything. Whatever makes you happy.

They could simply

A) dislike X

B) hate/despise X

C) came to the logical conclusion, that X is bad/wrong/shouldn’t be/whatever

D) genereally mistrusting against X due to a careful nature

E) have had traumatic experience with X (e.g. Being raped/attacked by a member of a specific ethnicity) and hence totally overreacting to an otherwise harmless stimulus, even forgetting the rules of civil behaviour

Those all don’t mean there’s the medical condition of a phobia for X.

A real xenophobic has an irrational fear of anything unknown/alien. Doesn’t mean the person just hates e.g. Mexicans for no real reason. It might even like them once they get to know the better, which often just won’t happen as phobics tend to avoid the cause their phobia instead of treating it.

I just dislike the lax use of medical terms until they’re bereft of any real meaning.

So, a person who yanks “speak English!” to someone, could have many reasons to do. None are neither polite nor politically correct. While the asshole is probably just the uneducated asswipe, the phobic could be helped and probably even feels bad afterwards for being so compulsive and insulting.

I never understood people instantly behaving differently the second they smell money in a person. It gets uglier the more they smell. Noone with money will ever deal with them. Never ever.

It’s epitome is this cult-like following or even worshipping of silly ass-clowns like musk.

I tried to look as poor as possible when i last dated. Golddiggers quickly leave then. I don’t get the followers and i even less get the rich fucks boasting around so they can never trust anyone ever anymore. Great tactics 😁

Not everyone disliking something is necessarily phobic towards it. That’s just one possoble explanation.

Seems nice, but no root as far as I’ve seen, which kills it for ne

I saw them as a child and found them totally stupid. Wild west pew pew but in space. Not everone who grew up with them loves them. If they were made today, noone would bat an eye over the mediocre story 😁

Who needs to get over whom? Probably the ad-hominem hero. Talking about science but behaving like an agitated chimp. Go work less and chill more 😁

I prefer civilized discussion, so… Have a nice life.

Science doesn’t say we need meat. Also very specially not the crappy processed toxic waste the majority consumes as “meat”.

But ever tried a diet only existing of plants/fruits OR meat? Guess on which you’d live longer? Exactly.

And again, no vegan here. Just also sick of this super old “but science says we need meat”.

I know. I was an animal rights activist once (in a time where “vegan” was either an insult or noone knew what it even was). Based on way too much knowledge about what we do with other beings.

And i didn’t say “it’s ethical”, but a local farm where the cows got names and live a great life (up until they stop doing so) surely beats industrialized farming ethically. I doubt you wanna argue there, except you only can live in a binary world (harm/don’t harm) . But that would be impossible as a vegan. Unless you’re one (i just assumed) because it’s fashionable or trendy or just edgy.

Btw something being “humane” doesn’t really mean anything ethical. Being sadistic shit-sticks who rape the whole planet raw until there’s nothing left is actuallly very “humane”. No other species is that horribly aweful.

I know. Same here. Probably the same everywhere. But still pissing me off

You know what’s funny?

People say that like forever. And those “vegan cultists” we told that 3 decades ago (and we were waiting for them to die of malnutrition) are still healthy and happy while the average supermarket-joe got fat and unhappy or is long dead by now.

I’m no vegan btw. but why would i argue with science? Just because we evolved to be able to eat nearly everything doesn’t mean we should. We could probably survive a good while on just eating hoofs or tree bark. Doesn’t mean we should include it in our diet.

Same. Me too. When i buy meat, then it’s only organic and the best ethical treatment I can find. And also waaaaaay less in general. It just became bad in every sense of way and plant-based stuff has gotten so much better over the last 3 decades.

Only thing that pisses me off is that the food my food eats is even more expensive for no apparent reason (edit: yes ofc i know the socio-economic reasons. As a consumer i just don’t care. That’s what i meant)

Murica. Dunno if any other country does censor such trivialities too. And to the deeper why: religious hipocrisy i guess.

Based on the lack of evidence for the latter, my money would be on the prior 😁

Lol, yeah kinda like him 😂

Oh man. I should’ve used the word homosexual to be precise.

Well, don’t ask me…I won’t argue about the beauty of tatas 😊

Dude, i honestly don’t know if a guy liking an mtf-trans with a dong is considered gay. I would prefer said mtf-trans-with-dong over a manly-man-with-vayajay. I consider myself straight. If i HAD to choose which of those only 2 alternatives would be more attractive. So I’d guess it’s more the person/gender than the primary genital. But what do i know :-)

Not judging or anything, i never cared who wanted to make love to whatever.

But he really wanted dudes. Women were “disgusting”. whatever floats ones boat, but this is simply the definition of gay, if you like the term or not. It’s just a word describing a preference. A dude just liking cocks on a dude’s body and person and gender, then it’s plain gay.

Guess in his case (my generation, we both being genx) it was just the typical upbringing that said gay=bad. Guess the shit stucks deeply, hence his cognitive dissonance and extreme adversity to gayness.

Spectrum is fine and all, but gay is gay. If gay would mean many things, the word would be useless. It already became useless for its original meaning, let’s not kill it again :-)
