  1. Marriage equality will provoke violence? Huh?!?
  2. OK I'm trying to be a little diplomatic here. This business is using the Nandos name and is selling similar products as the world famous Nandos. But they're not explictly claiming they are associated with that brand. Thailand isn't Russia or North Korea. How can they do that? I mean you can't even get away with calling a business McSushi even though McDonald's doesn't sell sushi. Get my drift?
  3. Cisgender is NOT a slur. FACT. On the other hand snowflake is a slur. https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2023/06/22/elon-musk-cisgender-slur-twitter-anti-trans-policies/70343998007/ Elon Musk declares 'cisgender' a slur on Twitter. What about 'fragile man with big ego'? In the latest episode of “Wealthy White Dudes Get Their Tender Feelings Hurt By An Adjective” self-proclaimed free-speech absolutist Elon Musk has decided the word “cisgender” is a slur. The owner of one of the largest social media megaphones on the planet issued the following edict via tweet this week: "The words 'cis' or 'cisgender' are considered slurs on this platform." This came as news to most people, as the word “cisgender,” according to Merriam-Webster, simply means: “of, relating to, or being a person whose gender identity corresponds with the sex the person had or was identified as having at birth.”
  4. Right but they are using the Nandos name in their signage and menu. How can they do that?
  5. Yes I know it well. Not the same as this place! Different name. Different menu. Different food
  6. It was a general recollection. Obviously.
  7. Do you imagine I have a database of all the offices? Happy this works for you at your office. Others need to inquire at their office.
  8. More or less! Just ate their food. Great discount on Food Panda now! 1/2 chicken with choice of two sides. Massive portion. Soi LK Metro Pattaya Same same but different Branded Nandos sauces. How can this be? https://m.facebook.com/NandosPeriPeriChickenPattaya
  9. You're wrong. The officers need to confirm compliance with annual balance rules potentially much more completed with combo Also I recall some offices require 400k minimum bank with combo.
  10. Educating children that LGBTQ people exist and there are families other than traditional as you call it is not pushing. It's basic education it's also very helpful to LGBTQ youth to not have schools try to erase their existence and history.
  11. Maintain what they want but stop demonizing and scapegoating LGBTQ people. If that's necessary to "maintain" something has horribly gone wrong.
  12. The US needs Thailand's help on.these matters. LGBTQ Americans are now subject to vicious attacks by right wing demagogues and also white nationalist domestic terrorist groups https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/understanding-the-erotic-code/202303/the-backlash-against-all-things-lgbtq Today we are seeing a rapidly growing backlash against all things LGBTQ. According to the America Civil Liberties Union, as of March this year, at least 385 anti-LGBTQ laws have been introduced at the state level in most U.S. states. These include everything from banning public drag shows to criminalizing gender-affirming care by medical professionals and even charging parents supportive of their trans kids with child abuse. Many schools are now infected with fear about even mentioning issues of gender identity and sexual orientation. One recent Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) speaker even called for the “elimination” of transgenderism. The audience applauded. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/apr/28/lgbtq-rights-us-dont-say-gay US news After years of progress on gay rights, how did the US become so anti-LGBTQ+? A slew of bills are rolling back recently won freedoms. Is America ready to fight for LGBTQ+ rights all over again?
  13. So you support the death penalty for transgender people?
  14. Hysterical unbelievable fake outrage over a legitimate word.
  15. I didn't say you weren't a man. I don't know you personally. Statistically, you are most likely cisgender. Again, it's not a slur word. You and the likes of Elon Musk can call it a slur word a million times, but that is totally wrong. I Coined The Term 'Cisgender.' Here's What It Means. | HuffPost HuffPost Personal
  16. Cisgender is not a slur. I'm cisgender. Most likely you're cisgender too. We're here. We're cisgender. Get used to it!
  17. Shrinking. Not super enthusiastic about this show but it hooked me in and I'm not resisting.
  18. There are many theories but whatever is happening, this story isn't nearly over. But Putin has been badly degraded. How he deals with that is unknown to us, but it's possible he's already made a personal survival escape deal.
  19. I personally experienced this as a cisgender gay man in the US so I can imagine such discrimination is magnified for transgender people anywhere. Yes a common result is avoidance of health care and of course that isn't good. Such problems I suppose can be addressed by better education for health care professionals and aggressive outreach to impacted communities. To add its not only LGBTQ people. Other groups experience similar. For example obese and old people. The easy medical response is to blame everything on obesity or age and not even bother to diagnose.and treat complaints. For example saying come back when you've lost weight which is usually never or of course you have this illness, you're old, just accept it.
  20. It's all the art of the deal for him and if he hasn't already capitalized on those documents he surely would have later with the right benefit for him. It's always only about himself. It still shocks that a large percentage of Americans look at Trump and see a good man intending to "save" America.
  21. Consider that almost all of the active military is focused on Ukraine.
  22. Putin came off like a weak assed b running away from Moscow liked a scared puppy. So you're saying he planned that?
