Modi is really trying his best by constructing a god-cult around his persona, building up paramilitary forces and stoking hindunationalistic pogroms. The classic autocracy/fascism setup if you will.

Doing 50 that close to other cars would also be very uncomfortable.

The government can then know you use Signal. This may be problematic in heavily autocratic regimes, but besides those, what threat scenario are you arguing for here? The Sealed Sender concept disallows building a social graph. However, you can utilize a VPN to mask your point of origin or, if necessary, even use a burner number. Under the worst case scenario that the US gov takes over the whole AWS infrastructure and tries to correlate connections to users, there's still very high information entropy. At that point, we're talking about the US gov as a targeting threat actor. If that's your opponent, you shouldn't use everyday customer electronics or applications anyway. That's some spy shit, even domestic activists won't fall under that much scrutiny.

IIRC She earns around 400+k per year. Which is a nice salary, but rather low compared to other execs.

You completely disregard the largest zionist organisation in the US, CUFI, of which most members are American Christians.

The US support for Israel is the perfect storm composed of financial, military and religious interests of various groups in power in the US. The interest of the Israeli government and center to right wing happen to align with those. Thinking Israel is in control in any of this and doesn't have to pander to those American interest groups is delusional and a common, sometimes antisemitically motivated, misunderstanding.

These all sound like regulatory, issues. Nothing that can't be fixed with a minimal amount of political goodwill.

As a cishet person, I like to keep to myself as much as possible as well. That way, you can call people out on their homo-/transphobic behavior and make them really regret what they said.

For all hard drives you are looking to bring, look into plausible deniability using a hidden volume. Veracrypt supports this.

Just let me use the university wide template everyone uses instead of having a dedicated template for your department that looks like shit, uses a shitty ass font, and integrates packages I despise. god fucking dammit

I don't think the Muslim community as a whole is an ally to the LGBTQ community, but to believe that this is an isolated problem that can be attributed to one single community is dishonest. By thinking that homophobia is isolated to specific communities along ethnic or religious lines and not economic or educational ones, you're replicating homonationalism.

You can and will have the same experience as an LBGTQ couple in a poor neighborhood inhabited by Muslim immigrants and a poor, conservative neighborhood inhabited by predominately white people. I would not want to hold hands with someone of the same gender in a rural Polish/Hungarian/East German/etc village.
