  • In my country people, especially teenage boys, try to avoid walking over the rainbow crossings. Since they don’t want to be seen as gay, because other boys will call them gay if they walk on the rainbow. My country is the Netherlands btw.

    Yes they might be pandering but they also reveal how people in society still have ingrained bigoted views. You can only really tackle these shortcomings in society if they reveal themselves.

    It’s funny when this Chinese Malaysian Cheong guy is probably not called Ian Miles on his passport.

    Like it’s very common for Chinese people to have an unofficial English name that they’ve chosen themselves.

    Preferred nouns for me not for thee

    Funny how Muslims always get a pass by white liberals and some lefties when they are being bigoted or misogynistic. If this was a manosphere white misogynists who wouldn’t shake hands with a woman y’all would never bring up the “my body my choice” argument.

    Sure they have the right to choose who they shake hands with or not but an employer also has the right to fire that person over that choice if shaking hands is part of the job and work culture and they don’t want a misogynist working with their female employees.








  • You need to read better. It says it reduces occurrence of myopia in a population not that it cures myopia when an individual gets it.

    Sure if you have very mild short term myopia caused by eye straining you can get vision back by training your eye. But with kids it’s about how the eye develops when it’s still growing. When kids eyes grow too fast they grow less spherical and that is what causes myopia and that is the kind that you can never cure. Going outside means kids are getting more sunlight in their eye which will slow down the growth and thus their eyes will grow more spherical which means they don’t develop myopia. Playing outside won’t cure myopia but it will reduce the chance of developing it in children.
