BMW have blinkers? I thought they come without.

Times did change though, quite a lot even.

I’m not LGBTQ+ so I can only say what I know from other people. But when you speak to older gay people, boomer gays and such, they tell you awfuly heartbreaking stories.

Of course gays and other LGBTQ+ folx still get hated on and discriminated and there is still a long, long way to go.

But that doesn’t change, that nowadays you can publish loveletters of two men, without destroying the lives of each person involved. Back then, the letter writers would have probably ended up in prison and everyone else with knowledge of them or any kind of involvement would loose their jobs and carrers and would have been shunned. Someone responsible publishing them or making a film about them, would probably go to prison too.

So yes. I’d call this a more enlightened time compared to Europe in the 1930’/40’s.

I’ll leave this here too, it’s the short film mentioned in the article. The Letter Men

I found the short film that was mentioned in the article someone else mentioned The Letter Men

Anyone has more information about the book? This is something I’d like to request my library to add to their collection.

They were a limited offer and sold out quickly. IKEA Singapore and Malaysia had them temporarily too.

Seems about right.

Excuse me, but Burg is a castle build for defence. People of the area could get behind their walls in a case of attack, so many settled in close proximity for safety. The resulting town was often called Burg in the middle ages, but thats not true for today.

In todays language Burg does not mean town anymore. It is only used for a kind of castle. You can’t ask “In welcher Burg wohnst du?”

Unless you still live in the middle ages of course.

With a language that can’t even comprehend all of their own letters and has to call one “double-U”, they can’t comprehend additional letters…

Can’t take a joke, can ya?

Just FYI, the International Space Station has Internet access.

That reminds me of the scientists who were in a “Moon Mission” Simulation in a remote area and completely cut from all society, going in before the pandemic and coming out of isolation in the hight of Corona and social distancing and stay at home orders.

I bet they wished it was a prank with ape costumes.

again…

You live in Gilead by any chance?

There is a place for soft, chewy cookies and a place for crispy, crunchy cookies in this world.

Aren’t these wasps?

Ha. I’m here for quite a while now and I still have no clue about how lemmy, the fediverse and their instances work.

But as soon as I do, I just might reanimate a Tony Hawk community.

Since gender is a social construct, I’d say there are as many as we as a society construct. And if you grow up tomorrow and feel like you, as a part of this society doesn’t see yourself in the ones we already constructed, you just construct a new one.

So I’d sa, how many genders there are is fluid. But absolutely AT LEAST 3.
