no it says "gay"

When you're young you want to rebel against the establishment. They are being told the establishment wants rights for women and gays and men's rights are being taken away. So they are going the opposite direction to be contrarian. Unfortunately young men at that age have very little empathy for anyone else. They have to know what's in it for them.

I don't know about that. there has been a huge slew of foreigners coming in and buying up all their affordable land and housing to make AirBnBs. if that were happening in my area I'd hate foreigners too. especially because most are likely not making any effort to fit in with the community and are just creating wealthy expat enclaves taking advantage of the low yen value.

also if comparing xenophobia have you seen -gestures to the rest of the entire world-

Block what you don't want to see. I block all the straight porn on here that somehow makes it into All. And yes Lemmy has a large amount of lgbt users.

Also it is pride season so you'll see more queer stuff than normal.

Tbf they probably have good reason.

I didn't know my faith in the American population could drop any lower. thanks for that

Maybe next time and everytime go out and vote blue so they have even a chance of doing something to stop it.

Elections have consequences.

What if Scalia was the one holding Thomas back and Clarence was the one who shot Scalia with the ice bullet containing the heart attack serum that killed him?

Ideally you'd catch warning signs before you ever got married to him. My guess is a lot of those who are detained who are married to Trump supporters also support the detention of immigrants and just never thought it would happen to them.

Like it or not they have a monopoly on the most active forum service. To the point where no other service is really useful when it comes to asking live questions and getting live answers for many different topics.

Yeah I've been trying to. I haven't been on it for nearly half a year at this point. I'm fine with using Lemmy but there are some things Lemmy isn't great at like having thriving communities I can direct questions about personal finance to and getting a wide variety of opinions. Or even pottery discussion. Lemmy is almost only about politics, Linux, and Star Trek memes. Not much more than that.

I actually think Lemmy has started to die off more since I've been here. I'm guessing I was part of some large migration when I started but now most of those people have stopped coming on several months later.

Depending on how much you saved you could maybe hit FIRE. otherwise if you're just starting you might be able to hit FI but probably not the retire early part depending on your expenses.

I know some people that had lucrative jobs that lost them and had to go working part time at Office Depot though so maybe you're like them and have a ton saved.
