  • What seems most likely to me is that some of these had the State Park category on Google Maps for a long time, and now it's being noticed. They say the "Provincial Park" category was removed, which implies it used to be an option.

    There's a bit of variation between types of park, even found a provincial park that is labeled both national park and just park, depending on where in the UI you find it.

    Labeling was probably never reliably strictly correct, but removing Provincial Park as a category is a little hostile, considering the timing. (Assuming it used to be an option, and Samantha in the video isn't entirely mistaken.)

    ...actually, this is at the bottom of the article:

    “If you ever see the extremely rare ‘provincial park’ used as a category, this was imported automatically by Google using the old Google Map Maker categories. They have long since simplified the categories (there used to be many hundreds of obscure categories) and provincial park is no longer an option when adding or editing parks,” she said.

  • You're not a human shield.

    You're an easy target.

    This situation didn't reduce overall hostility against LGBTQ people, it increases hostility. You're like the asshole in the tribe that makes the other tribes hate everyone here, because you associate with us.

    Your logic only sort of works with an internet forum mindset, where banning and blocking are incredibly easy options. But the fascists aren't simply a group you can "keep out of the United States", it's a transformation of a people. A people we should have been much, much more interested in not losing.

    Their empathy and understanding are necessary for survival, not an optional nice-to-have we can wait for while we weather the storm. At least for most, some (New Zealanders, for example) can just sit tight and chill while the world burns. Are you from New Zealand, Drag? Is that why you don't mind alienating somewhat liberal somewhat live-and-let-live voters who are still a bit mean and judgmental?

    Lemmy does not matter, not much, certainty not yet. People and politics that affect local reality matter.

    And for a final note, no, you're not engaged to a dragon.

    Edit: There we go, the "human shield" blocked me. Guess that's one way to live up to it.
