My dad is very angry. He is claiming youtube has been showing him pictures of shirtless gay men for years when he tries to look up music. Curious. Very curious.
YouTube keeps recommending me videos of Jordan Peterson and other right wing hacks no matter how many times I click "not interested". Idk what I'm doing wrong, all I want is for the algorithm to recommend me shirtless gay men like it did for Rem's dad.
I would like all of you to have access to my totally chill and supportive parents. We aren't on the same page but they respect it and they're just okay sixty year old socdems.
It's good. Being partway between a lib and socdem is pretty much standard with varying degrees of racism depending on the person here. They got some issues but they're generally alright and at least respect that I got to where I am politically by doing a lot of work that they haven't done so I probably know more than they do, it's weird, my dad softened on Stalin no problem but went full battle mode about the McDonald's coffee spill lawsuit siding with McDonald's, not much consistency.
Also I feel like generation theory being a fuck aside, they kinda missed one between boomers and gen x. There's that 70s show acting as the Happy Days equivalent, the first wave of punk and subsequent new wave and hair metal takeover. Most of that stuff also openly resented boomers to some extent. This probably comes from most of my favorite music coming from that era and my parents being the age that if they were cool could have checked that shit out. I dunno, they were born in 61 and 64 and Courtney Love was born in 63 so it seems like there's a gap there if we're gonna classify stuff on those lines.
Someone from the family has a trans student in their class and the student accidentally outed themselves to them through some status thing online and they're making a big deal of how they're going to treat the student "equally and normally", while at the same making fun of her (the student) in private.
Someone please end me now, idk how I can continue like this.
It's super gross how casual people can be about their bigotry, like it's a joke to them, your entire existence worthy only of contempt. My family is pretty similar.
I hope you're able to get some distance from them before long. Tons of love :meow-hug:
I'm disabled/have a degenerative disease so idk if I'll ever be fully independent. I'm going to try my best though, can't live my life much longer like this, in the closet and in hiding from everyone irl. It really eats away at everything.
But I genuinely appreciate the kindness here, I really appreciate it, means a lot more than you think. Almost made me cry, tbh I try not to think about everything too much.
That complicates things a lot huh. I can't know your life or what's safe for you, but look for opportunities where you can. If anything else friends or even internet strangers to be "out" to can help a lot. But I will reiterate, you're a comrade and a bi bro, we're on each other's team and I support you wholeheartedly 💕
Umm tell me that your family member also is a student and not the teacher. Otherwise recording them and accidentally leaking the recording sure sounds like praxis to me.

All hail the mighty algorithm. It gives you what you need instead of what you want, at least that's my interpretation.

:sadness:
I'll pray for shirtless gay men to appear before you, stay strong comrade.

That's gotta be rad. Mine are just straight up Reagan republicans.

I love family zoom calls
Spending Easter weekend as closeted bi dude with my homophobic evangelical Christian parents. It's not going great folks.
Fello bi remain strong I am with you :flag-bi-pride: 😔
CW: bigotry, homophobia, transphobia

Thanks for the support, wish I could send more than emotes over the internet.
:stalin-heart: :heart-sickle: :hexbear-bi-2: :hexbear-bi:
I feel the love. Kinda wish we had a bi heart, I'd use the heck out of that since I'm not trans but I'm hella bi and full of love.
I'm just spamming all the heart emojis tbh, idk how else to do it
Hahaha fair enough 🥰
