People often point to the terrible things in the world as evidence we're living in "the worst timeline". What examples are there of things that suggest our timeline is actually better than it seems? (feddit.uk)

GAY RIGHTS

What are P and N?

The two types of semiconductors. N-types have a slight excess of electrons, allowing them to move freely and P-types have a slight lack of electrons, effectively making freely moving electron “holes”. By sandwiching them next to each other, you can create diodes and bi-polar junction transistors.

And as we all know, bi-trans is an important part of queerdom.

Source: has a degree in electrical engineering. And is bi.
Edit: not cool enough to be trans though.

You can't just keep adding letters and expect the rest of us to magically know what you're on about. Isn't there some kind of central authority that publishes these updates? Like the lgbtqiapn+c (c for consortium)...

Anyways, here's Mirriam Webster for the lazy: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning (one's sexual or gender identity), intersex, and asexual/aromantic/agender. They didn't know about the N either, but it's for non-binary.

Last time I've heard, it was LGBTQIAPN+. It might have been false information, however.

Pan and NonBinary is my understanding
