I was lucky enough to have 2Gb fiber introduced to my area recently - I have to say I rarely notice meaningful differences over my lowest tier cable connection. I pull 1400Mbs on router based tests, but routine endpoint speed tests are 300-700 range. Was 30 on prior connection. Can run more stuff all at once, but still get occasional streaming delays, 5min of low resolution streams, routine downloads are about the same. Now that Mullvad has dropped port forwarding, this pigeon system is sounding pretty attractive.

Wondering what this guy would do if he did know the age...?

Hey, it's not always greed that we give a pass! In the US we are also fantastically lenient with violence as well!

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.
