Gothic stuff is cool. I'm not a goth myself (though I love wearing black lol) but I follow several goth yt channels like Voltaire or Black Friday. I'm glad she's alt, I'm not a big fan of the mainstream model industry because they push starvation as a beauty standard. So hell yeah, all the power to you two ^_^
Edit: after checking out her Instagram, I noticed that I have a very similar body as her, not too thin but big curves... Might consider becoming an alt model myself, haha!

Oooh okay I got you. Yeah I'd say a plain dress with stickers isn't the pinnacle of latex technology, yeah. Not sure I'd call modeling a luxury or sexy job (unless she's an alternative model) but hey, different strokes for different folks I guess.

Edgy reply to an edgy comment, no? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wow sero that comment was so edgy you could cut yourself with it, or maybe you already do.

I googled VinNoir and I'm not sure what you're hinting at with "what latex fashion does these days"... The way you put it made it sound like there was some scandal with latex but all I can find is the VinNoir website and Instagram and their stuff looks kinda... Goth? Which is cool but I'd never wear latex myself because I don't have the body shape for it.

Oh boy I was afraid I was the only one who sang along

used to not speaking freely from back when the country was under a communist regime. Plus Poland has many conservative Catholics so I'm fairly certain that if the Czech republic, Slovakia, and Hungary plus the Baltic and Scandinavian states were included, the score would go way up. We're often overlooked because these countries are small and insignificant and many people assume we're part of Russia somehow. But anyway, it's a shame that they didn't include so many countries because I think it would change the score. But maybe it wouldn't, these speculation are what-ifs at this point.
Anyway one thing I think is important to point out that while in the US and the UK the trend seems to be going down for free speech because many young people are easy to offend nowadays, in countries like mine it's the opposite because of the older generations as I mentioned earlier. But again, this is pretty much speculation, once a newer study comes out, then we'll be able to debate it properly.

@unklethan Alright, seems I chose the wrong person to poke with that question. But I'm actually glad you're educated on the subject and are not just using Venezuela as a buzzword like so many people do. Ok, so I won't pretend like I know more than you about this, but I always thought that Latin America is kind of notorious for its problems with corrupt politicians? Because I'm sure its problems aren't *just* socialism but they might go deeper. I'd be really glad if you educated me on this, I'd love to learn more. Anyway, yes the Dankula scandal opened my eyes too to how things are in the UK. And the study is interesting too, I'm glad that they left out Ukraine and Russia from the European median, that way it's more accurate. But it sucks that they didn't measure some countries, like for example my country, the Czech republic, I think would measure higher than Poland because frankly, people here are sick of the sjw speech police and most people who are against free speech are older and

@guest I've heard that New Zealand is really expensive in terms of living costs but otherwise yes definitely one of the best ranked countries. I would've mentioned it if it wasn't for that pesky character limit.
@itsamemaria Ok, I got you, in your case it makes perfect sense. It's just that so many Republicans mention Venezuela, it's become their go-to argument against any healthcare or minimum wage policies. Like, you can explain why a single payer healthcare system would overall cost less than what is in place now, they will totally ignore it and start shouting "But Venezuela!!" It's really annoying. Not to mention most "socialist" movements in the US and the Europeans criticizing the US's government are mostly leaning towards Social Democracy, meaning their point of reference is Scandinavian countries, not Venezuela with pure socialism.

@dash224 No, you're demonstrating the exact reason why people make fun of you. "Sorry you guys suck"?? A) even if the US was the greatest country in the world, loving your country doesn't mean having to put down and insult every other country on the planet, most of which you don't even know jack shit about, B) the US objectively doesn't rank that well in almost any aspect other than the military. Right now if someone says the greatest country in the world, I think Norway, Denmark, Switzerland, Monaco, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Canada. The US doesn't even cross my mind. LikE SoRRy YoU guYs SuCK.
@unklethan You're not the only country with freedom of speech. In fact, judging by the "let's fire football players for kneeling" debacle which is still going on, I'd say most western/northern European countries have more free speech than you. Also, I'm genuinely curious, why do you guys always mention Venezuela?

I think mr. dad was referring to this being said to him by some Christians. At least that's the vibe I got from the comment

Ooooh yes. As someone who sweats a lot, a black shirt is my Lord and savior.
