(You personally can seek asylum here ofc, most EU countries' asylum laws allow sexual persecution as reason and you'll be protected as long as your life is in jeopardy. Just get over here)

Yeeaaaahh... You might wanna double check that because last I checked (though I may be misremembering), most anglosphere countries explicitly deny refugees from the US because the US is a ""'safe harbor""". Even so, though, unless there's a guarantee that I'll be taken seriously (which, considering a lot of what people have said to me, is unlikely), it's not a great idea to be applying for refugee status until I have a list of places lined up because otherwise there's a very real possibility that it'll put a target on my back with the US government.

I'm someone who's trans, who voted for Harris, who tried to make sure everyone around me understood that Trump was a fascist (it didn't work). I've had way too many Europeans and Canadians try to tell me that I should be taking partial responsibility for Trump. I've had way too many people from Europe and Canada tell me that I should just get over it, grow up, and stop being hysterical about what's going on, while immigrants are being rounded up and sent to totally-not-concentration-camps in Guantanamo Bay. This is called "victim-blaming" and it's a disgusting practice and quite honestly, fuck them too at this point. If they wanna be on the wrong side of history, that's their choice.

Imagine telling the immigrants, Jews, disabled or LGBT during the Holocaust that it was their fault that Hitler was rounding them up and putting them in concentration camps.

What an absolutely disgusting attitude and it shows the true colors of Europe and Canada. The most upsetting part is that I know that once this is all over, they're gonna be sitting there crying crocodile tears while pretending that they knew nothing and nothing could have been done.

Edit: meanwhile I have a couple south american friends who are trying to get me to move to their respective countries because supposedly people in most south american countries don't actually give a shit about your sexuality or gender; it's only the corrupt-ass American puppets who give a fuck. Surprise-surprise. Also, if true, so much for the anglosphere moral superiority complex lmao. I'm very tempted to take a long vacation to visit them and test the waters.

Kay's Cooking. c:

I don't think she even understands how badly she fucks up, lmao. I think she actually believes she's doing it right, she's just too British.

When was this? I can't find anything about this.

That's not something I have the freedom to do right now, unfortunately. I'm working on it, though tbh, they're pretty old. I kinda doubt they're gonna make it more than 4yrs. The other Trump voters, though? Yeah. Fuck 'em.

laughs in bnc

Supposedly 0-4Ghz passband and can carry 500v. No idea what that translates to in terms of resolution/framerate, only that it's A Lot. Biggest downside is that it's analog.

Edit: for comparison, iirc my CRT monitor runs somewhere around 20~30Khz for a max of 1280x1024@75hz. I may be comparing apples to oranges here (I'm still learning about analog connectors, how analog video works, etc), buuuuut that suggests that a bnc connect running at its highest rated output would potentially be able to run some fairly large displays.

I may be misunderstanding what you're saying, but it absolutely is not an obligation to remember one's family (unless we're specifically talking about chosen family and not bio family). I have many friends who have been disowned, kicked out, physically/emotionally/verbally abused or even raped by their biological families as a result of being gay, trans, bi, pan or something else. It would be abusive and highly immoral to force them to keep their biological family in mind when making decisions.

They have no obligation to remember the trauma inflicted on them by their family members, except, perhaps, in a legal context against said family members; but once said legal context is fulfilled, they have no obligation to continue to remember. To state otherwise is to demand that they relive their past trauma, and for what? So their tormenter(s) can continue to torment them?

No. They have no obligation to continue to allow themselves to be tormented. Nor do they have any obligation to remember their biological families.

Now, if you're talking about chosen family, then you might be onto something, but as long as their chosen family is taken care of and does not need assistance from them, should they not honor their loved one's desire to one day be forgotten? Should they not allow the photos, keepsakes and whatnot that document a person's life, someone else's life, to be destroyed once they're no longer in use by anyone? To do otherwise would be selfish; if I am going to die and my best friend wished to not be remembered, I would allow them to go through my things and remove themselves once I had passed. After all, it is unlikely I will remember them once I've hit my expiration date and my things will no longer be of any use to me. If they wish to purge themselves from my mementos, then they may do so.

The only exception I can think of is if someone was exceptional in some way. The kind of person who gets a paragraph or more dedicated to their life in a history book. In that specific case I believe they should be remembered, but done so respectfully; perhaps with a pseudonym.

I think I understand what you're going for, buuuuut...

A) ftl != Time travel. My understanding is a result of a quirk of our current equations being pushed past their usefulness (no one's "fixed them" because no one's found a reason to; no one's seen evidence for anything that travels ftl). Logically speaking, if light takes 8min to reach Earth from the Sun, it should take 4min for a ship moving at 2c to make the same trip. As such, travelling faster than light shouldn't actually send you back in time.

B) you need to work on the phrasing a bit. The first sentence is confusing.

I wasn't. I was trying to educate the people around me, but they didn't want to be educated. They wouldn't listen. Hell, my grandparents swore they wouldn't vote for Trump again and did it anyway. What was I supposed to do, take them out back and put em out of their misery?

Honestly, you might not have to move back with the rate things are going.

How'd you move to the UK without having a job lined up?

~~Edit: also on the subject of her friends, where were you living before you moved away? I have friends in a number of states, they miiiiight be able to help, no promises tho.~~

Edit 2: I'm dumb and can't read.

"You're complaining about a genocide that hasn't happened yet when there's genocide going on right now in Gaza!" The reaction to that link: "That isn't genocide and you're making light of genocide if you call it that."

Oooo... I got that one from a furry on discord. My jaw hit the floor when they said that to me. Granted, they were European so they may not be keeping up with the news, but it was still shocking to hear that from a furry of all people.

In my case, the most recent fuckwit told me to never move to Europe because I wasn't wanted there.

(Do you want a furry trans-girl pet? I'll be your pet if you move me out too c:)

(I'm joking. Unless...)

Careful, people might try to tell you that you share responsibility too. I've had waaaaay too many people try to tell me that I, a trans woman who voted for Harris, must somehow share responsibility for my own oppression and the oppression of others at GOP hands.

Fucking disgusting.

Edit: one person has gone far enough to compare me to Martin Niemoller, a Nazi supporter who switched sides after his face got eaten by leopards.
