It is very real and I seem to have been wrong in initially believing it was satire.

To be fair, they’re already part of the Union whether they want to or not, it’s more a matter of if they get to have political representation or not.

Or, inte the swedish tradition of just appending ö to the end of words: Krkö

Unfortunately, a large percentage of the voting population seems to support them, which is part of how we got here in the first place. The best argument for a free and open democracy is what happens with any of the alternatives, but people have a tendency to forget, and opportunists are great at using difficult times to garner support.

If this continues unopposed, yes, but asking individuals in specific situations to sacrifice their own lives without an organized community does not sound reasonable to me.

Making large groups of people that all agree with you spontaneously appear at a location is typically not super easy.

And lose your jobs, your homes, and your freedom in the process as you get prosecuted for assaulting federal agents where the authorities have an incentive to make an example out of you to deter future incidents.

I’m not expecting the world to change from holding hands and singing hymns, but insulting people (who already started confronting them instead of just pretending not to see) for not sacrificing more than I’d have to seems rather narrow-minded to me.

Because women are not a homogenous group that all care about the same things, all share the same vision, and are all willing to destroy their lives and the lives of the men and boys they care about for a potential chance that maybe somehow sometime in some unspecified future things can get better.

I think innovation is easier when you’re not constantly preoccupied with survival, having to spend every waking moment worrying about starvation or predators or disease or freezing to death probably puts quite a bit hamper on what creative new ideas you are able to come up with and try.

Yeah, I’m keen to agree with you, since for me it’s the complete opposite: My armpit hair seems to trap humidity against the skin even when air can get in there, and the smell of the sweat sticks to the hairs so if I sweat even momentarily a few times it’ll start to smell whereas it evaporates better if I keep it shaved.

I use an electric razor so it’s more like a really close trim than a clean shave though, practically never have problems with ingrown hairs, so that’s something I’d recommend.

I don’t think so either but unfortunately Trump and his fellow narcissists are still there.

Not sure what it has to do with trans people though.

I’ve always just been taught to use boiling/hot water and scrub it, dry it immediately after, and then put some oil on it so it doesn’t get dry. Never had any issues.

Difference being that unlike sexual orientation, desire to have children is something that can be affected quite a lot by just situational circumstances. I’m glad to hear that it worked out well for you, but there are plenty of people who have either wanted or not wanted children when young who have ended up changing their minds, to my knowledge there’s never been an instance of anyone changing their sexual orientation.

Properly used condoms are incredibly effective at preventing pregnancies and have the additional advantage of reducing the spread or STDs, there’s no need to take an irreversible decision quite yet.
