I’ve heard it explained that “hey” used to be more of an urgent way to get someone’s attention, rather than a casual “hello” like it is now, so it sounded rude to some older folks.

        I know, because being human is so terrible. It would be so much easier to allow people to ridicule me for my beliefs. 🙄

            I’m sure you believe that, because anyone who doesn’t fit a certain mold should be ridiculed. F**k off with that logic.

                But see, that’s the thing. Who are you, or anyone else for that matter, to tell me or anyone else what being a decent human being is?

                If I say I don’t like trans people, that doesn’t make me a bad person, that makes me a person with their own, valid opinion. Or If I say I don’t give a damn what happens to them, that’s not being callous, that’s me, not giving a f**k about people I’ll never meet. I’m sorry but virtue signaling isn’t my thing.

                  You not giving a damn about what happens to them literally does make you callous. You being a bigot literally does make you a bad person. For decent people this isn’t virtue signaling. Not all opinions are valid.

                    If I say my opinion is valid, it is. I don’t need approval from strangers to make it so.

                    Preach tolerance, yet are intolerant of anyone who doesn’t share your beliefs. GTFO with that nonsense.
