This is depressing as hell.

Most people have no idea how much sci-hub has advanced medical and basic scientific discovery.

We need things like the archive more than ever now too as the the disease of thinking truth is a maleable substrate continues to spread.

Watch more it's great! If you don't like it you're probably the kind of person that hogs loaded nachos.

Would Be so unfortunate to have a pre 2020s art style that looks so much like AI.

Ha fuck you pleeb. We so fucking rich we drivin' g wagons to work wearing crocs and sweat pants then when g wagon gets full of mustard from our sandwiches we just buy another. Our shit is so far from together but ain't nothing gonna stop us. Also we just deleted your mom's GDrive because we can.

—Google probably

How do they make it difficult? I know several people that have visited and had no issues to complain of. I was half joking about the Florida thing, just going through the airport there probably wouldn't be as bad as walking the streets.

Depends, can it hop pay walls? Wish Lemmy had a no pay wall linking policy or at least a warning system. If it can summarize articles behind pay walls it is my friend.

Do agree with OP though, wish it could be even more concise.

More concerned about why you wasted all those colors on this image when two was sufficient?

Yes, I've heard it's lovely but probably have to go through Florida to visit.

Ah, then I think you meant to say, "A person" in California.

Yeah, those are hillbillies - they are all over the place. Many of them are actually homosexual believe it or not. If we are talking bumper stickers though, can't say I've come across many anti-LGBT ones. Mostly confederate flags and black and white flags with blue stripes all in the generic grab bag of generalized hatred. I stay away from those people / areas as it's just not my crowd, but not sure what this has to do with the safety of LGBT visitors to the US. Linking these stickers to that is a pretty broad sweep.

The rates are not the same everywhere. Perhaps one of the best reports for what you are looking for can be found from https://transrespect.org/en/press/

Because these are the games of politicians. Try being trans in rural China, India, pretty much anywhere in the African continent or anywhere in the middle east. Come visit and see if you'd like. I've been to these places and if you don't believe me look at other travel advisories. The risk to travelers is being blown out of proportion and just because the media is doing this it doesn't mean that educated individuals hanging out in Lemmy communities need to propogate this garbage. Do I want politicians to get their shit together? Yes! Do travelers need to eat up the media fear that pours out like a fire hose these days? No, it's rubbish.

Or anywhere in the world. Rare events that get heavily reported in the US do not paint the overall picture of LGBT experience.

No it's really not.

Recommend doing a bit of real traveling. As far as things go on a global scale a lot more FUD comes out of the US because it is an absolute media machine and everyone has their eyes glued on it at all times. As far as real world acceptance of LGBT it doesn't get much better anywhere globally than California. In my experience other than perhaps, some select parts of Western Europe, the comfort level for LGBT travelers is much higher in the US than most places. There are cesspools like Florida that stand out, but this travel warning is largely propaganda.

I mean, stay the hell away from Florida and you should be ok.

I don't see how that would happen if everyone just capped out at karma=5 within a few weeks

A karma system is sounding pretty good right now... /me lifts shield and ducks

Even if it's just a a limited tiered system with numbers to obsess about. Level - 1 browsing rights. Graduate to level 2 after 5 days and total of greater than 30minutes of logged in activity

Level - 2 commenting rights. Limited to 10 comments daily for 5 days.

Graduate after at least 3 comments, total upvote count >+3, and 5days.

Level 3 - posting rights. Limited to 3 posts daily for 5 days. Unlimited commenting.

Graduate after 5d and total upvote count >50

Level 4 — image posting rights. 10 images per day max

Graduate after 2 weeks and total upvote count >100

Level 5 - you've made it, everyone is equal here. Entry level users are still enjoying and growing into the community. No need to be a tool about trying to get more karma / points and number of bots / temp accounts / total losers should be minimal by this screening level.

It's incredible how many people waste time walking in many situations where you could just fall.

Listen honey, I frequently check the reddit dontputyourdickinthat sub, and if something ain't listed there, you better believe I'm putting my dick in it. BTW I'm posting you there.

Nobody on this Com wants to work anymore, they just keep posting the same stuff. This is image is recycled fodder that keeps showing up in my feed. Work on your posts at least people!
