For one of my friends, it was like they were acting all the time as a straight person. When they came out they wanted to express their new self.

One of my friends stayed in the closet for years, even when all his friends knew he was gay, and we kept telling him we didn't care. When he came out of the closet, he was over the top flamboyant. After a couple more years, he really toned back on most of the mannerisms. It was like he tried on the flamboyancy and then decided he just liked men, not the act.

From my observation of my gay friends who are more flamboyant, it was a reaction to coming out of the closet and letting their friends and family know they are gay. They had seen others who were gay behave a certain way, and they embraced that life.

Lol you sound like the type of friend I'd never want to eat a meal with.

Too much ethos. Not enough logos. If you want your ideas to work to a broader audience, you need more logic. Sadly not a lot. But you used too may buzz word ideas without some meat.

It's published by Brietbart. With that track record, they could have said Bilbo Baggins owned the plant watering service, and it'd be just as believable.

Your wit is astonishing, how awful you've made me feel. 😅

As an American I with all honesty say, I've been called worse by better 😀

In the English language, you can use words such as "write" literally or figuratively. In this context, it seemed obvious to me I was not suggesting that Hamas had bought a publishing company.

I mean Hamas wrote this propaganda. How young were the children they snatched? This more than anything shows they wanted everything that followed.

It's almost like the people who made these decisions don't agree with your esteemed analysis.

Xi Jinping's third term is literally autocracy. President Cheeto would kill for that much power.

America as fucked up as we, are can bash our president and resist his power grabs as much as our oligarchy allows.

In China, you can't even post a whinnie the pooh cartoon because making an autocratic dictator look bad can't fly.

China doesn't have rapid shifts in infrastructure because China bad, it's because China has an autocratic dictatorship which allows for massive investment of resources without argument.
