In my personal experience I find women are more willing to do this than straight men. Just putting that out there, and I wonder if anyone else feels the same
There are times I can't tell them that, they're clients where I work, etc, but I will not talk to them. Once they make a comment supporting this trash presidency, small talk stops, I get the job done and dip. Nothing extra, bare minimum. May not even say hi to you when I'm at your office.
Km glad I did find a lot of really cool clients i can commiserate together with.
Otherwise, fuck em all. You voted for a terrible terrible piece of shit that you would not even leave your daughter or wife with. You're a shit person who does not deserve to share the air I breathe.
Hard to be around people who actively vote away your rights.
That's pretty broad, who are we referring to here
I don't even live in the US and I know that the GOP is doing everything to strip rights from women.
I dunno, maybe the US Government making it a death sentence to have an abortion?
Yeah that's bad, what are we arguing about exactly?
You thinking it's okay to vote women's rights away.
Did you mean to reply to someone else?
Nope. You wanted to know what people were arguing about.
Women's rights. That's why.
Okay and where did I disagree with you? Think you might be barking at the wrong person.
Anyway, I mastered the backflip today! Took me one day. I was flopping yesterday and nailed it today. ONE day!!! Women can do anything
THAT'S why I've got so few friends! It's my high standards for justice!
Do you need friends? I can make recommendations
I mean honestly if you're in Los Angeles I'd be down for a Lemmy meetup for fun. I did that once with Wikipedians, good times!
I'm not but I would! I want to go to LA again, my aunt lives in Venice Beach so I should probably hit her up. I did a meetup for the world cup and met some really cool people! Unfortunately in your 30s you have to start working for friends, they no longer fall into your lap
That fuck is a zionist and proud, so probably not them if you've got a strong sense of justice https://thelemmy.club/comment/27905541
Well if you do this as a straight white male you lose every straight white male in your life so yeah it can seem daunting lol.
Is that supposed to be a problem?
I'd rather make diverse friends than make a friend with somebody that openly supports Trump and his ilk.
Is it weird that I, a cis & straight presenting, white man, make friends with people outside my demographics? I mean, I do make friends within my demographics, but they are absolutely not Trump supporters.
The diverse crowd are usually pretty wary and reserved these days when it comes to interacting with white men. Can't blame them, but its not as easy to make friends as say "hi", because you have to prove first you are not one of "those" white men.
And I am more radical than most, I am pro positive discrimination (like 55% of government should be women, even if people want to elect men), subsidized gender affirmative care, open borders with no checks, drugs decriminalization etc whatever.
But I do also hate virtue signaling and being performative male who can't shut up how he hates patriarchy to get laid. And fortunately or not, no one ever knows if I privately donated money to RAINN.
Paradoxically even this comment by me is virtue signalling, oh well.
So, we are basically in a stalemate where I am asked to perform and I don't like doing that, thus we are both at arms length, although technically I would considered myself an ally.
