Maybe they can pull back their head into the shell before opening the floodgates.
I could also imagine that the causality is (partly) the other way around. Demonizing homosexuality makes it a taboo for them and taboos are the base for all kinds of fetishes.
The study suggests that the U.S. economy is on track to lose $12.5 billion in international spending this year alone – but the actual shortfall might be much greater.
Tourism Economics, a division of Oxford Economics, had originally forecast a nine percent increase in foreign travel earlier this year before revising its estimate to reflect “polarizing Trump Administration policies and rhetoric.”
Based on the research firm’s original projections, the U.S. economy was expected to gain $16.3 billion in revenue, according to an analysis by Forbes. Instead, the total deficit may be as high as $28.8 billion.
Yes they did. They expected gains of 16.3 billion, but instead experienced a drop of 12.5 billion. Resulting in hypothetical losses of 28.8 billion.
A girl I know always wanted to be a boy when she was a child. She even explicitly asked to have her gender changed through surgery in elementary school.
Nowadays she says, that her main reasons were that she preferred to do 'boys stuff' like soccer with boys rather than playing with dolls etc. with other girls. Plus she was really scared of the pain of giving birth as a women and thought she'd have to go through that when growing up. Up to this day, she still likes 'boys stuff', doesn't use make up, rarely wears dresses/skirts, didn't give birth.
So in her case specifically, it seems like it was 'just' the stupid female stereotype that she didn't want to live up to. She doesn't feel that gender disphoria anymore.
I guess independent of the gender we associate with, we as society should really object all these stupid stereotypes. Do what you like, dress as you like and be who you like, no matter the genitals you were born with. And let children know that they are free to choose their own path.

It's weird IMO to count in expected gains that never realized when calculating a deficit.
I think he has a point. In the last few years I only remember the release of Hogwarts Legacy which was related to Harry Potter. Never heard of a show, pop up events etc.
But the calls for boycott I see at least once a week here on Lemmy.
Maybe it would be better to just add that as comments to actual HP promo rather than giving it additional attention and relevance.
Wenn du im Lotto gewinnst, lohnt sich das mit der guten Busverbindung zur Arbeit ja gar nicht mehr...
Kann doch auch einfach Plural sein. Ausländer dürfen nicht mehr in die Bäder / Badi.
Das hilft dir zwar mit dem akuten Problem nicht mehr, aber man kann zur Vorbeugung im Frühjahr im heruntergelassenen Zustand mit stark duftenden Ölen (Eukalyptus-, Teebaum- und Pfefferminzöl) einsprühen / reiben. Das mögen sie wohl nicht so gerne und dann suchen sie sich von vornherein einen anderen Platz. Auch ist es sicher ganz gut, den Rolladen immer mal hoch und runter zu fahren und damit ein wenig für Unruhe zu sorgen.
Wenn das Nest schon da ist, hilft denke ich nur, eine Fachperson zu beauftragen oder bis Saisonende durchzuhalten.
Oh wow, danke für den Link! Ich hatte Vandalismus irgendwie nur auf den Zug bezogen und gar nicht in Erwägung gezogen, dass jemand grundsätzlich die Strecke beschädigt haben könnte. Hat die Bahn also eigentlich alles richtig angegeben und die Verspätung in keiner Weise selbst verschuldet.
Mal was kleines zum Schmunzeln: Mein eigentlicher Zug fällt heute aus. Mein Ersatzzug wird zwar in drei Stunden pünktlich in München losfahren, auch pünktlich in Nürnberg ankommen, aber dann wird heute Mittag irgendwo vor Leipzig so dermaßen die Post abgehen, dass der Zug leider zwei Stunden Verspätung wegen Vandalismus einsammeln wird.
Die Polizei sollte mal ein paar Bahnleute als Profiler abwerben. Sechs Stunden vor der Tat ist doch ein ganz guter Prognosewert. =)

Vegans being banned and comments being deleted from !vegan@lemmy.world for being fake vegans.
From my perspective, the comments were in no way insulting and just part of completely normal interaction. If this decision reflects the general opinion of the mod team, then from my perspective, the biggest vegan community on Lemmy wants to be an elitist cycle of hardcore vegans only, not allowing any slightly different opinion. Which would be very unfortunate.
PS: In contrast to the name of this community, I don't want to insult anyone here being a 'bastard'. I just want to post this somewhere on neutral ground. I would really appreciate an open discussion without bashing anyone.

Recently, I noticed that no matter which delivery I'm tracking and no matter which status the package is currently in, DHL always claims the estimated delivery date to be yesterday.
This package was dropped at the DHL office on 23rd. When I checked right afterwards, the expected delivery was declared as 22nd. If I'm checking today (24th), it's now scheduled for the 23rd.
I'm not a scientist, so I'm just guessing here. But looking at popular search terms on porn sites, you'll find a lot of taboo stuff like (step-)mom, (step-)sis, poop, BDSM, gang bangs etc. But just because people find it interesting in porn, I wouldn't argue that they necessarily want to act accordingly in real life, bang their relatives etc.
Some time back I also read an article somewhere (sorry no source) that taboos in porn can get somehow addictive in a way that you're permanently looking for harder taboos.
But as said, I have no clue if that applies here or if there's scientific evidence for/against this hypothesis.
