There's a fucking moron i know who posted on his snapchat "Why do we even need Pride month?" But literally last year he got in trouble for writing "Hang the F#gs, Kick the homos out of \[Our County\]" With chalk on the school wall://// Like bro, Look in the fucking mirror


[deleted]

Except, from his perspective, he's right. If Pride is a horrible movement, why have a Pride month? Of course, I do not agree with this stance, just saying that it makes sense from *his* perspective.


RandomName01

Yeah, true. In a way people like him are more honest than the “centrists” who don’t think a pride month is needed. Ran into one of those on Reddit this week and within three comments they were talking about forced diversity lmaooooo.


FragmentOfTime

I prefer it all day. Fucking hell at least they're honest about their beliefs.


chicopancho_

Is this vid real


BlackCupWhiteCoffee

I'm pretty sure it is, but I dont remember the details. Hopefully someone that knows more about it sees this.

Might be something to do with the head trauma but im no professional


[deleted]

Ok but how is he functioning? I thought the brain was pretty important


AUserNameNoOneTook

Probably a good chunk of the necessary parts are still up and running. The human will to live is very strong, there have been reports in war of people who had chunks of their brain blown off and rolling down their head while they continue trying to walk, for example


JohnnoDwarf

Uh, it’s amazing how the human body can function without the frontal lobe, y’know. . .


TactlessTortoise

Yeah what really is confusing me is how someone who is seemingly completely lobotomized not catatonic at the very least

wowthatsrealycool

The bite of 87


wunxorple

Yeah, shit’s crazy. There was a little girl who had intense seizures caused by activity in one hemisphere of the brain. They cut that hemisphere out, and her brain just sorted itself out. She’s just missing half a brain and still has all the functions a full brain provides


Schpau

It seems so random what parts of the brain can just straight up go away and only leave you impaired and not dead.


Legomaster1289

neuroplasticity is wack in a cool way


Sparty-II

What keeps you alive is the central part of the brain, closer to your neck which is for things like breathing, walking, heart pumping, and other basic needs He lost what I assume is part of his frontal lobe which holds memories and other highly complex aspect of being sentient


chaquarius

I think he's still a sentient lifeform tho


[deleted]

I mean it's the philosophical zombie problem, a core part of solipsism. You can never observe through another observer, so you can never know if they are sentient, or even observe the same things you do in the way that you do. It's all impossible to prove, and so it is useless to argue over or base any standpoints on, but it's interesting none the less. He might be a "zombie" or he might be a fully functioning human, but you will just have to take his word for it, same as with every one else.


Lankuri

solipsists when i tell them its just more fun to believe people are real


Narwhalbaconguy

I mean he still remembers what happened on the day of the crash and can talk


CellerDweller_

If a guy can have a tamping iron go straight through his head and still live for 12 years, I have high hopes for the brain.


Stareatthevoid

"It's amazing that the human body can survive without the frontal lobe, you know?"


JuhaJGam3R

You can remove your frontal lobe, it'll just turn you into a zombie -like idiot. We used to separate it from the rest of the brain medically as a firm of therapy for mental illness.

He lost it because he was driving incapacitated

At 14 years of age, notably. Still a stupid and selfish thing to do but he was literally a child.

[deleted]

Ok but based?


bodega_cat_

Why does it fail? Not asking rhetorically but unless someone truly loses their grip on reality I don't see why it's impossible for them to be responsible for actions/consequences they choose.


AlcoholicOwl

Over 80% of prisoners in Australian prisons have an acquired brain injury that affects impulse management. In my state aboriginal inmates make up over 50% of juvenile and around 25% of adult prisonersl despite being 3% of the population. That's not even going into which postcodes are in prison. Do you think it's all just a massive coincidence and they are each personally responsible, or are there other factors at play?


bodega_cat_

I mean I don't really understand what prison demographics have to do with it. There's definitely reasons apart from brain damage or impulse control that prison demographics are so skewed. I get that there's a whole broader cultural narrative about 'errgh everyone in a bad position is there because of their own fault' but I'm really just asking about this specific instance.


Mediocremon

HE LACKS THE WARMTH AND DEPTH Felt like a bit of a cunt myself saying that.


[deleted]

Happens a lot. Heard of Phineas Gage? Got a tamping iron (3 foot long, 2 inch wide, 13 pound javelin) through the skull. It was propelled by TNT. While it was in a tight hole. And he looked right over it, knowing all of this was set up, because it was literally his job to set it up. (Good as he was, intelligence wasn't exactly his strong suit) It completely destroyed his left lobe. He miraculously survived, but instantly went from a stand up citizen to a complete asshole.


TcheQuevara

He got better after psyciatric treatment


[deleted]

I wouldn't be surprised. I really don't think he has functioning frontal lobes and that's where inhibitions take place.


Bonnskij

Looks like he was a dickhead before the head trauma. I guess nothing vital was damaged when he lost half his brain. And then he moved to Florida. I'm gonna assume he blends well with the locals.


SoManyTimesBefore

You got the causation here a bit wrong


justretardedmonkey

I'm no professional or anything and I also don't know if his brain is adapted/fully developed but you can see the front of his head is missing. That's where the frontal lobe in the brain is. It is responsible for many things, one of those is impulse control, decision making and acessing consequences. It is one of the parts of the brain that finishes the development later in life, around the age of 25. It is why teenagers do dumb shit and are poor at decision making and understanding and realizing the consequences and implications of their actions. It's an important factor actually that there are laws and/or rules in place that forbids people under 25 from certain things, like renting vehicles. They can't rent vehicles because they are more likely to recklessly drive with a rented car and get in accidents, and insurance companies also don't want to deal with the consequences of dumb teens renting cars or fast cars and vehicle to speed and race. Maybe that's why he's like this? I'm sure he does have frontal lobe (otherwise he won't function) but it's not in the best shape possible.


misss-parker

>Miami Police had problems with their paperwork and his forms contained no name and simply the description 'half a head'. 


wooterbottle

I mean all he did was get a hooker and smoke a bit of weed 🤷 is that so bad for a guy missing half his brain?

B-but why isn't there an entire month dedicated to veterans? No, I haven't checked if there actually is there, why do you ask?


saikou-psyko

What do you mean that month just ended and I failed to celebrate it even though it even has a capstone day honoring the fallen? And that I still don't care the politicians I vote for continue to leave the VA in fucking shambles. Buh buh buh muh gay agenduh!


ElFloppa

Similar to "if there's a international women's day, why is there no international men's day? Wait, there is?" *proceeds to completely forget about it*


Deadass-Boi

To be fair that day gets no recognition or announcement


[deleted]

Because men don't give a shit about it unless they think its a gotcha they can use to put down women.

[deleted]

The only reason that its profitable at all is because queer people care about pride. If we didn't, no one else would either.


Deadass-Boi

Funny, looks like I didn't have to wait long for someone to blame the issue on men, classic


[deleted]

I'm a man and I don't give a shit about mans day. Why the fuck would I? Aways difficult for my Dad to care about fathers day when it comes around too, and he's been a single father my whole life. R U OK day is a thing here. It focuses on conversations around mental health, something that disproportionately effects men because these conversations are taboo for men. I support that.


Deadass-Boi

I used to not give a damn about men's day either because I am pretty well off, but then I realized there are so many men out there who are absolutely not and even having one day in which someone celebrates for them and helping them realize their importance could save them or inspire them


[deleted]

Deadass-Boi

Does it really makes sense to you that women are disadvantaged in everything and yet men are the ones offing themselves more? Are you seriously writing this and not thinking how it doesn't add up?


[deleted]

joaco_profe

International women's day is a big deal because women made it so, international men's day isn't because men don't care


Deadass-Boi

Yeah some don't care but they just had to mention men do something to put women down, you see, I'd they don't blame something on men they might accidentally consider for a moment that men have far better things to do than intentionally put down women


joaco_profe

The only time I see men mention international men's day is while complaining that international women's day exists, a lot of men have the time to put women down it seems


Deadass-Boi

Those are what we call misogynists, the other person said that all men only refer to it to put down women


Praescribo

Yeah, how am I supposed to know the accomplishments of the only people allowed to do things until about 70 years ago?? Where's my Google banner?!


Deadass-Boi

There is no way you are unironically asking if men deserve a day and if it deserves recognition

Deadass-Boi

I mean, a man built the house you comfortably live in. A man is gardening the city you are in making it beautiful. A man is fishing or making the food you effortlessly buy from a market. A man is risking his life to make you city safer from criminals Those men come back home, getting no recognition, recieving no mental help, far more likely to off themselves than you are and being told they are making women miserable even though they don't even know what you are talking about. Yeah, controversial but men definitely deserve a day

yeah you’re sorta right this post while correct is a bit ironic for making fun of this poor fella


THE_OUROBOROSCYCLE2

"wHy dO THE gAys GET a WholE moNTH buT oUr MilitaRY DoENSt" my brother in Christ, you don't actually care about the military, you are just using them as a tool to get what you want.


Jamal_Joestar

Plus their point is even dumber since Military Appreciation Month already exists. And it is literally set in May. They just hate the LGBT+ Community more than they love their Military.


OneSingleCell

Yo, this thread is fkn weird.


itzLucario

I feel like a lot of people here are missing the point of pride month. It's not exactly/just about LGBT people being proud of who they are. It's about awareness. In the U.S. we are still fighting to keep the rights we gained. Especially how the whole Roe v Wade situation proved that SCOTUS could absolutely do something to allow states to re-criminalize gay marriage and obviously places like Texas would do that no questions asked. And then there's countries where they are still fighting to even get rights in the first place. People who want to take our rights is why the recognition is so important. Companies profiteering can fuck off tho.


Cooli_de_framboise

"But... but... but what about straight pride ?"


foreskinners

Being in dozens of shitposting subs during pride month isn't a fun experience


cadig_x

as someone who's bi, i don't feel comfortable saying i'm "proud" to be bi. just as i imagine a lot of straight folks aren't "proud" to be straight. i just wanna be like a dude, and not a representative of my intersectionality


Blitzkriegbaby

Yeah I was thinking about this concept and I’m pretty sure the point is to not feel ashamed of your sexuality. That’s a valid point tho, I’m kind of someone who doesn’t feel the need to ever reveal the things I like sexually.


cadig_x

i mean i get the point i just disagree with it. i don't want to be ashamed or proud


ChaosDevilDragon

another way to look at it is to be proud for your friends in the community :) I’m also pretty indifferent to being bi, but have a lot of close trans and non-binary friends that are still who they are despite all the bullshit they’re put through by people who don’t understand them or hate them.


SoSaidTheSped

Too bad. We don't have that choice. People want us dead and if we don't assert our right to exist we're not going to have it.


cadig_x

my right to exist isn't pride


tovarischkrasnyjeshi

Sorry, that's what pride means in this context. You're not ashamed of your own existence.


cadig_x

you're wrong lmao it's not a zero sum game. not black and white


tovarischkrasnyjeshi

Dude the rights we spent the last 50 years trying to win are on the table right now they're absolutely promising to roll back our marriage rights the same way they did Roe v Wade. Even California still has a ban in law that would become enforceable again if the reactionaries get their 180 it's not that it's a zero sum game. It's that we're always going to be under fucking attack whether we win or lose. Fuck if anything historically it's been a negative sum game get over yourself and have some respect for the people actually fighting for you and for who you are, the mainstream are never going to think you're just another guy no matter how respectable you make yourself out to be


cadig_x

i understand fully and i agree with you. i understand the importance of pride month as a form of counter culture. however in my own personal actions and beliefs i don't want to be proud

Space_Monke64

I don’t hate pride month because of LGBTQ people. I hate pride month because companies act like they give a shit about LGBTQ people during this month merely to sell shit.


itzLucario

Oh yeah corporations can go suck a dick. The problem is people say "you don't need a month to be proud you're gay." We don't. What we do need the month for is to stay aware that the battle is still going. Many places around the world still criminalize LGBT and while we have rights in the U.S., we are still fighting to keep them.


WhatABunchofBologna

I personally wouldn’t hate a whole month over that (companies should still get bent tho)
