God Emperor*. I had to correct you or it would go against my Trump Score ™.

Posted the study I found in the Op relating to abortion bans not leading to less abortions, globally

For him, the doctor should be treating the situation like there are 2 patients on board… From conception. I think that’s ridiculous myself, but even with that in mind, women are going to find ways to not have kids they don’t want. Hammering home with the data and statistics, that you’re just killing and causing pain, and you aren’t actually going to have less fetuses being aborted with total bans/more restrictive bans anyways, is I think how I will get to him.

If he can’t disprove the data and statistics I’m showing him that it leads to worse outcomes without accomplishing it’s actual goal, I think that is where I will be able to get him to see why the brains behind the pro life movement are so insidious. Ie, the Venn diagram of Christian nationalists and the pro life movement… Is pretty close to a circle.

Spain still has kings?

I didn’t think this was real. Then realized it’s Tucker Carlson, and he had talked about the bed demons clawing him. Realized it was, indeed, a real quote. The tech tree is getting fuckin’ WILD this patch.

I did not, thanks!!

Edit: ok, yeah this is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. I KNEW the info was out there -.- have never bothered trying to go this far.

Yaaa I’ve done a good bit of googling and article reading, which confirmed my initial beliefs. Trying to focus on academic content at this point, will still give this a read however!

Same. 12 year mostly reddit lurker. I have x10 the posts and comments hear using Lemmy for a year :| once I’m working again I really need to set up a monthly donation for my server admin

Lemmy is def substantially higher quality content, commentary, and community as a whole compared to all the other popular social media I use. You made the right choice!!

So you’re okay with developer salary $ going towards his incompetent wife that they told employees to lie about?

Ah, you voted for Biden. Gotcha.

So you voted for Trump because the Democrats didn’t have a primary late into the election season, when the sitting president tapped out cuz old and their VP tapped in? That’s wild. I recommend you read up on American political history when it comes to what the whole purpose of the VP is.

They dont list the VP in your state? Huh.

Boondocks meme format in the wild what a treat

Maybe 5-10 years ago, apparently these days driver issues are less of a concern. Plug & play is the norm now, from my experience at least

That was definitely a broad generalization, I’ll readily admit that. However, I don’t think that my point would be incorrect if we started trying to dig into the statistics. There is a reason that international conglomerates change all their social media stuff to have a pride flag during pride month in some countries, but not others. I think it is telling that queer cultures were able to develop to the extent that they have to even make the possibility of the current exterminatory cultural rampage a thing.

“According to a Pew survey, acceptance of homosexuality in India increased by 22 percentage points to 37 percent between 2013 and 2019. But same-sex couples often face harassment in many Indian communities, whether Hindu, Muslim or Christian.”

“A poll in July 2024 by the William Institute found that 52% of Chinese agreed that same-sex couples should be able to marry. As of at least 2023, Chinese public attitudes towards the LGBTQI community continues to become increasingly favorable.”

“The rights and freedoms of LGBT citizens are strongly influenced by the prevailing cultural traditions and religious mores of people living in the region – particularly Islam. All same-sex activity is legal in Cyprus, Northern Cyprus, Israel, Jordan, and Turkey.”

Definitely higher than my initial claim of 5% awareness globally of the trans flag based off this.

Ya the admin of Blajah made a solid point that I should have anonymized the post, I rarely post/comment, so not super familiar with the etiquette. Definitely will keep that in mind in the future. & hey my person, there are a lot of severe mental disorders other than gender dysphoria that exist out there :|

Are you saying that fundamentalist Islamic culture is friendly towards the LGBTQ+ community?

If the trans flag was common to see and commonly talked about in Hamburgerland, I imagine I would have been more aware of what it meant. You’re calling me racist… While using a racial slur?

Ok, let’s whip out some facts. Of the countries in Asia where gay marriage is legal (different from transgender folk, yes I am aware, but I think we can all agree gays are a lot more accepted these days than trans people), there are 3. Nepal, the Republic of China (Taiwan), and soon Thailand. In Africa, there’s just one, South Africa. In the middle east, just Israel (maybe that’s how they keep getting American weapon shipments, they have a lock in the US gay Mafia).

Of course, in many more Asian/African countries than the ones I listed, it isn’t ILLEGAL to have same sex intercourse*. However feel that’s a decent metric for acceptance (and, by extension, awareness) of the various LGBTQ+ life styles.

You said it yourself in this comment. There aren’t queers there. Well, there are. They just aren’t treated very well if they’re open about it, to my knowledge. Logically, if a culture is “not there”, or in this context, being legally and culturally suppressed, I doubt there is going to be much awareness about things like which letters in LGBTQ+ corresponds to which flag. Id be happy to read something that you think would be enlightening on the subject.
