That's good to know already, thanks :) I was planning on getting a vpn anyway, it will be part of how I make my choice!
I see thanks! It's listed as a "pro" setting that requires a paid account?

Hey don't be so hasty! It's also to make a shitload of money!
Have you checked the US politics recently? 😄
Diminishing people who genuinely try but don't manage to fit in society sounds extremely toxic. You could have said, "man up" it would have been faster and meant the same thing
I had to read the reply to your message to understand your weren't talking about a human patient... https://media0.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPWE1NzM3M2U1cXZvaDAxNmJkcHVxMmc2eDc0d2NpOHh5ajB3ZXQ1aHZ3YXdkd2E0ciZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/zXeX29w6jxjAk/200w.webp

Wow so you do have have to speak like your president in all caps and insults. You're absolutely right, the USA are the best at everything, you are never conflating correlation and causality, relying on half truth or changing your arguments and you're always providing sources. You're the best buddy, sorry the rest of the world is too stupid to understand your brilliance ❤️
Tell me you dont understand statistics without telling me... Do you have to speak like your president? If you're interested in a normalized comparison https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_incarceration_rate . US: 541/100k, EU: 111/100k (ranging from 203 in Poland to 53 in Finland) so no, the US are very much an outlier . But of course the US are the best and the greatest and exceptional and the land of the free and any comparison is unfair because *insert bullshit reason*
You're building your own strawman. None of us 3 as said anything that disagrees with that, and nobody likes being lectured because "lotta people" are dumb. Take it with them then. The irony of your argument is that you seem to completely miss how by reorienting a discussion about men's hardship to men's privileges you're implying that these hardships are not valid because of their privileges, so the exact opposite of what you try to defend...
It was pretty clear to me, but we all project. You're totally right to say it doesn't invalidate *other* struggles, yet when you reply to a message saying *men can have it rough* with *they are still privileged*, it feels to me like you're doing exactly that. But again, you (and I) are privileged, and it's our duty to be extra careful to listen and not to hog the spotlight and bring everything to what we want. Here, it's her message, not yours. Let's build together rather than nitpick.
Fair, I also have the *comes across as condescending* problem sometime despite not being my intention. I get what you mean and i dont think anyone said it's wrong per se, but I think you're missing her point and yours is... not relevant here? I believe she simply stated that men's have their dark struggles and these are too often ignored. As you said, it's not a competition. But at the end of the day, she created that space and you highjacked it.
Also yes, she said that being a women is a more pleasant social experience. It doesn't seem shocking to state that men have the tendency to have trouble with a lack of social interactions and not being able to be open about their feelings, does it?
Ok, I'll try. In short you didn't "disagree", you started the thread by stating that she misunderstood what privilege is and went on to teach as if she couldn't be aware of your arguments. That's extremely condescending. She is entitled to disagree and provided counter arguments you ignored. She has experience of both sides, so you should at least respect that. Finally she didn't say that 80-90% men have it better, only that a few are super privileged and a few are at the bottom.
She did, more than 3 times already. But you were so busy mansplaining that you didn't realize. She didn't *try* to say. She said it. The irony of you (a cis man) telling her (a trans-woman) what being privileged is, is off the charts.
Being condescending to a trans-woman and "teaching" her what she should think because he, a cis male, knows better what privilege is, or what women endure... I don't really like or use the term mansplaining but I've rarely seen a better example of it "chef's kiss".Thanks for your post and messages and I wish you the best life 😊
I apologize if I came across as blaming you personally or if I projected too much on what you said. But when I read all the comments stating the US can't protest like Serbia or other places because you, as a nation, don't have a stable access to healthcare, transportation, money or are taking risks, it really feels like it implies the other places don't experience the same problems. I'll stop bothering you and sincerely wish we all get out of this as fast, safely and painlessly as possible
Then please let me rephrase. I understand not everyone can do it, I understand the meaning of sacrifice. What I'm trying to say is that it doesn't justify saying this is different from other places. People that riot or demonstrate do it in face of danger. You choose not to? Sure, you're right, I definitely can't judge, but don't belittle other people's sacrifice by saying they have it easier
... And also I understand how hard it is to actually get to it, because we may have responsibilities toward kids or other people that depend on us. And I respect any action that is taken. I'm definitely not pretending that it's easy and everyone can do it. But please for the love of anything, please understand that it's the same thing everywhere. When Hongkong did it, when Arab countries did it, when exUSSR did it, ... when any nation rose against a dictator. This was the cost.
Yes. All the people involved in riots are putting their lives on the line in defense of their ideas and communities. It is the accepted cost of it. People across the globe are regularly beaten or gunned down for demonstrating and yet they choose to continue because they refuse to accept the the political discourse. You are not exceptional.
FFS, it takes 2days 2h to drive across THE US, 5d7h to walk across Serbia! Serbia has Healthcare and money?! It was a warzone 25 years ago! What kind of paradise do you expect it to be?! Most riots are costly and deadly, yet people all across the globe decided to rise against literal tanks. Even the US did so at the beginning of the century and yet now you keep finding yourselves excuses. I'm not saying it's easy and every one can do it, but pretending it was easier for the others is insulting!
https://ifuckinghatejira.com/ feel free to share your anger in this understanding space 😄
I did and did it again. Your example is the only new thing for me. Interestingly, I didn't see examples of these 2 names before. Checking other cases like the English Channel (that only displays my local name instead) clearly shows they are not consistent, sometimes its only one, sometimes 2 names. I agree it's less of an exception than I thought initially then, but it is still not a rule they consistently enforce and chose to enforce it here.
So they follow the local denomination, except for this specific case where they chose to make sure the US decision is shown everywhere. They could have simply changed it in the US and respect locak denomination by not changing anything for the rest of the world, yet they chose not to.
They chose to change it for the whole world though. It's not location dependent.
