O argumento de que "tem criança assistindo" nesse print é a maior lorota que um conservador pode falar e desmorona fácil.
Primeiro pela seletividade gigante: a TV aberta sempre entupiu o horário nobre de casais heterossexuais se pegando, traindo e transando na sala da família, e esses conservadores nunca deram um piado sobre as crianças. O escândalo moral e o freio de mão só surgem quando o afeto é queer.
Segundo que para isso existe classificação indicativa e controle parental; usar criança como escudo retórico é pura desculpa para moralismo e para apagar representatividade.
Por fim, as crianças de hoje crescem num mundo plural, e o que realmente ensina preconceito e intolerância não é ver duas pessoas se amando na tela, mas sim a hipocrisia de comentários como o desse print.

Straights and gays benefit eachother as friends.
Straights find in their gay friends an escape from boredom and conformity.
Gays offer novelty and creativity.
Gays find in their straight friends an escape from aimlessnes and transience.
Straights offer roots and stability.
Each life is more prone to a different kind of excess.
Straight hell looks like a white picket fence that suffocates you and removes individuality.
Gay hell looks like freedom, where no obligations leave you with no deeper meaning.
But each life is also prone to its own advantages, and can complement each other.
Straights can act as a refuge for their gay friends exhausted by endless stimulation.
Gays can act as a spark for straight friends dulled by monotony.
Perhaps we’ll never live quite the same life, but we do well to learn from each other.

This is well said. The reason I said infidelity is always the fault of both parties is that, after a decade of coaching clients, thousands of couples I spoke with complained about the same main issues:
Women reach menopause and no longer want sex, or even younger women who get their ring and security and stop having interest in sex.
It’s a well-known statistic that women in long-term relationships have less interest in sex. It’s not fair.
I know of so many couples that had sex only 1–2 times a year! And when the man cheats, he is labeled the worst.
I think a man who has sex withdrawn from the marriage has the right to cheat. You don’t always want to go through a painful divorce and years of battle.
You might as well enjoy sex elsewhere and still be a good companion or a “roommate” for your partner.
There were also cases when the man lost interest in his wife, but that was extremely rare.
A wife doesn’t get to decide, quietly and unilaterally, that the sexual marriage is over while expecting every other part of the arrangement to continue indefinitely without discussion.
She doesn’t get to turn her husband into a roommate, provider, co-parent, handyman, emotional support system, social escort, family representative, and faithful companion while treating his desire for his own wife as some embarrassing character flaw he needs to outgrow.

This piece is for men. Every time I write about how men systemically abuse women, my DMs explode with “Not All Men” complaints.
But a new study goes one step further, and demonstrates that empirically, statistically, and factually, it literally is all men. And the data is horrifying. qasimrashid.com/p/russell-br…

Why should Brazil have to explain its democratic credentials to the people who've imposed dictators in every country across our region?
The Trump admin openly states that they don't care about democracy and only care about looting natural resources (their words not mine).

Reading posts by foreigners about Brazil, I get the impression that you're not aware of the full extent of the accusations against Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro, or of the available evidence of his corruption.
So I'd like to kindly invite you to really get to know Flávio. A thread 🧵🇧🇷

Brazilian fintwit is a mess. You think the US one is bad, they are worse in terms of extreme views and doom & gloom, motivated by partisanship.

I'm starting to sense a divide in the tech industry:
- People thriving on autonomy who are reinventing how they work and what tools they use with AI: LOTS of work, but they're enjoying it and getting very efficient
- People used to being mentored / trained / or simply told what to do and how. Frustrated with the lack of guidance from management on what to do with AI; also frustrated by seeing some of their peers thriving; increasingly bitter about AI and the state of the industry, as a whole
Neither group seems to be aware that there's another group, or have empathy for the other group

A renovada ofensiva dos EUA na América do Sul, sob o manto da Doutrina Monroe no governo Trump, explora a fragilidade de governos entreguistas para a promoção de interesses estrangeiros. A evolução do caso de Itaipu é didática: o acordo do Paraguai com o Brasil em 1965, sob forte pressão brasileira em defesa dos interesses nacionais, e, agora, com a reorientação paraguaia em 2026 para atender às demandas de big techs dos EUA, representa um sintoma da geopolítica regional. A postura passiva do Brasil diante dessa reviravolta evidencia uma cumplicidade que mina seus próprios interesses, expondo a nação a um cenário de desvantagem energética e geopolítica, em detrimento de uma defesa proativa de sua soberania e influência na região.
