I hate the people even more that I know are at home and I call them 2 times for something important and they don’t pickup or call me back within 24 hours

In my experience I have no issues being seen as the bad guy (but then again in NL you can actually vote for center parties) and I have had just as many people from the left as I have had from the right try and convince me that their side is better. My favourite one is “All violence comes from the left” lolol

I dislike the whole minority/majority thing, we are all human and we need to be threated like that.
Maybe you are right and I accidentally joined some LGBTQ+ threads ment more for minorities. That doesn’t explain why some of my gay friends never felt welcome in online communities for LGBTQ+
Often what just happens irl is that those people just meet each other somewhere without the rest or go somewhere slightly differently during work, a party or whatever and then talk about what they want. At least that’s when I was a minority back in the day when gaming was for nerds. And that’s what my LGBTQ+ friends do when they want to do that, but The Netherlands has always been pretty open to that. That same thing happens online that people don’t join discussions they don’t care about.
It’s not ironic at all. I’m guessing you have never been in a setting that would have benefitted from such a policy. The only times I have been in a setting like that was when getting bullied in school where they didn’t want to talk to me because I was the minority.

Well that’s fair, it has been a while since I ran into a LGBTQ+ community online, so it might have changed, but like I said I have heard it from others as well.
that some spaces meant for internal discussion about problems that are unique to LGBTQ+ people in order to share experience and advice where most people who are not part of the group can’t say anything since they aren’t affected. Since that is most people hetero peple are not welcome there in general for simplicity’s sake. Those spaces are not meant as an Information desk and they don’t have to be one since there are other spaces on the internet that can act as that.
You are right about that, but I wasn’t commenting on threads like that per say, because well I don’t have a clue about it.
But I have comment on a thread about say gender-neutral bathrooms, some people prefer them and some people don’t. I responded that the trans people I know preferred their current gendered bathroom because well they are that gender. People didn’t like that I said that, but maybe it is because like somebody else said, so many people lie on the internet and such.

Well that doesn’t help no …
But the consequence of it, is that people like me experience the not being able to talk about certain aspects of humanity or of life, which is kinda understandable to be fair.

Okey interesting, Ill keep it in mind. It might not work for this situation I have experiences about the LGBTQ+ communities online, but who knows. Thx!
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Sorry to rephrase my comments towards you, I have come across communities on Reddit, here and elsewhere online where there is a post about something LGBTQ+ related. I post a comment around the subject, either asking a question or supporting the general cause, but ofc I experience the entire situation differently than somebody who is completely part of it, so people always notice it.
But instead of explaining where I am wrong or forming a normal conversation, I get shit like you are doing. Which really alienates me from the online communities. I act the same way when I am in person talking to people from LGBTQ+ and they act completely different and some even share the same opinion.
I do live in NL where the situation surrounding LGBTQ+ is more open than in a lot of other countries, but still.
Where do you suggest I start doing “my homework”? or are you just gonna shut me down trying to learn more about the subject like most have done?

Then tell me?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
You see this more in LGBTQ+ communities, they are all about inclusion, but when a hetero sis male wants to be included they aren’t the biggest fan of it. As long as they don’t discriminate it’s fine, but still ironic

Considering how big some stores are in countries this doesn’t surpirse me, if a small supermarket near me can already have 20 different ketchups then why would the massive general store in the nearest city not have a wall of sex toys?
- Comment on Admit it. WE all do this 3 weeks ago:
In The Netherlands this is pretry common as well, heck in even abroad I have been asked the question
- Comment on Toxic community 3 weeks ago:
Basically, nobody sells it, but you could technically produce milk in a way more animal friendly way. The current breads of cows all over the world have an influx in milk production, so even if you do not take the calf away and milk them manually, it would still be enough milk to use/sell.
This is all hugely theoretical unless you yourself have a couple cows that you milk for personal use or a small farm.
You are probably just anti-milk industry than actually anti-milk.

That I don’t know, but they also show prices excluding sales tax. Some online stores even do that when they are selling to Europeans and they are required to include the VAT (we also can’t know if they have to pay VAT or not)
- Comment on Smart option 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, but that is the US and my point still stands.
Can also be in Canada and the tax would be excluded
- Comment on bad board games 3 weeks ago:
There is a difference between a country being corrupt and a country having corruption or a lot of people in a country paying for corruption (in other countries). You can check the corruption index if you want.
- Comment on bad board games 3 weeks ago:
It has taken a while, but now regulating bodies are actually looking at who is the ultimate beneficial owner of a company and they will try and stop overtakes. Well, not in corrupt countries, but it is so hard to get anything properly done in a corrupt country that it doesn’t surprise me.
- Comment on bad board games 3 weeks ago:
To be fair in the real world we do have instances stopping people from buying everything, it is just that some countries are corrupt af.
- Comment on bad board games 3 weeks ago:
I have become more left orientated after years went by, but I have always been decently progressive. Not every country allows for the full political spectrum sadly so a lot of people have to choose between progressive left and conservative right, but it isn’t the only way/
- Comment on Smart option 3 weeks ago:
I rather have that than the prices excluding tax

People have overbid 10-20% or even more here in NL in the last few months for all kind of houses and apartments. Including once that need a ton of work.
- Comment on Grandma is on her own 5 weeks ago:
There will still be a lot of people homeless even with affordable houses since they most likely cannot afford a house. Social housing doesn’t have to be affordable, it just needs to be there, but that has little to do with the availability of houses and more the amount of people that can be processed by the system. At least in NL.
The issue all around the globe is people owning more than one house. You can only live in one so they rent them out. Generally asking way to much since they took a mortgage for it, costs are deductable against the profit. So you always end up paying the mortgage rate for the house you rent + a profit margin for the owner.
If you stop people having 2, 3 or more houses or at least make it a lot less likely for people to own more than one. In NL some people are also debating if we should remove the deductibility of mortgage rates.
Houses costing 1m or more being empty doesn’t do anything for the homeless, they will not be able to afford that. A lot of the houses in the empty house statistics are include houses being built/renovated/destroyed etc. Heck in the US (and other countries) you have some ghost towns, are those counted as well? Or houses that are rented out for tourists? How many of them where empty for more than 6 months?
Taxing empty houses is fine, don’t get me wrong, but the not building medium density houses, places where you can walk and/or bike and actually want to live, the lack of social security and people owning 2 or more houses are issues as well.
- Comment on Grandma is on her own 5 weeks ago:
Most people aren’t homeless because there is no house available no.
You want to tax just having that second home

The plummer cost will most likely be for you if it clogs the drain, otherwise you have a pretty good landlord.
- Comment on Breaking the generational barriers 5 weeks ago:
Most restaurants have a grease trap, but most houses do not.
Even what is naturally in the pan is often to much and you need to clean them with paper towel before washing. At least according to the Plummer I work with
- Comment on Breaking the generational barriers 5 weeks ago:
Why into general waste? Just put it with the other glass, they wash that anyway.
(Btw they are not happy that you do this, but whatever)

Considering the closest Goodwill or Value Village is like a 9 hour flight away it doesn’t do me any good.
