I can understand why all the other things would be listed here, and I would understand if sexuality in general was considered inappropriate for children, but why homosexuality in particular? This is strange to me....
As another user mentioned, I'd suspect because gay is still a death scentence and/or a criminal charge in some places, those would insist anything gay must me filtered

That aside, i dont agree and this way lies stagnation.
The Russian Government has nothing in common with the goals of climate mitigation nor does the US government for that matter. The US and Russian government's for example are well aligned in the biospheres destruction.
If you're not closing airports, banning cars, rebuilding roads and car parks with cycling and small medium density well insulated with and shrubs and trees around s, solar on the roof, closing roads and buildong electrified trains, if you're not banning meat eating pet ownership, cruise ships, personal yachts, jet skis, power boats, banning advertising then you're going the wrong way.
All we get fron cooperation is slight incrementism that's then argued away.
My proof ? We're not even taking baby steps in the rihht dirction, if we were it would have at least paused CO2 emissions with a slight decline but April saw the single largest increase in CO2ppm ever recorded and people are jetting around the world to attend a Taylor Swift concert in response.
While there is more then a grain of truth to this, still seems to be time for distracted voters to watch Netflix, goto concerts, watch movies, goto sporting events. You're not going to get out from under any of this by substituting screeching about the need to pay bills, for activism.
Juvenal originally used it to decry the "selfishness" of common people and their neglect of wider concerns. The phrase implies a population's erosion or ignorance of civic duty as a priority
You can be distracted and not Vote GOP for example.
As has been discussed already here in this community, the key takeaway from the bear hypothetical is that it is an opportunity to truly listen to the lived experiences of women under patriarchal systems.

I said ok, her choice and moved into the next meme/story.
I must admit to not understanding the furore that then arose and don't know why men (am a man) were getting butt hurt. Why would I care if women prefer the company of bears in the woods.
They don't care. They are lazy cowards who will give up everyone's rights for a false sense of safety.
Thats how it is for most of humanity, from Hitler, through Putin, to Trump, same playbook to appeal to the 80%
“Susan Sontag was asked what she had learned from the Holocaust, and she said that 10% of any population is cruel, no matter what, and that 10% is merciful, no matter what, and that the remaining 80% could be moved in either direction” —Kurt Vonnegut
Assuming you're an anarchist or otherwise leftist radical, what radicalized your position?
For me it was a combination of seeing the rampart corruption of the Greek state and the sloth and hypocrisy of the KKE in my own family. Then afterwards it was the alienation of my own wage-slavery.
I don't believe you. What you're describing in regards the weather is most of Australia and it's even more car dependent then the US. If you were there, you'd drive.
It's snow bound northern Euro countries that are way more advanced in being car free then sunny warm countries. Have you seen Manila? Jakarta ?
Why didnt they barricade the car lane off and use that to install the bike barrier lane protectors from ? Use stop / go personell so cars can use the other lane.
They've blocked the entire cycle lane with what looks like a compressor up ahead as well (presumably to supply a pneumatic drill for the bolts)
Or here's an idea, install concrete barricades from the back of a truck with a crane that actually project cyclists from being murdered.

Ignorance of systems has its way of plowing forward, juggernaut-like. Nordhaus has opined that agriculture is “the part of the economy that is sensitive to climate change,” but because it accounts for just 3 percent of national output, climate disruption of food production cannot produce a “very large effect on the U.S. economy.” It is unfortunate for his calculations that agriculture is the foundation on which the other 97 percent of GDP depends. Without food — strange that one needs to reiterate this — there is no economy, no society, no civilization. Yet Nordhaus treats agriculture as indifferently fungible.
The problem is human, it's us and we're not taking anything seriously. How much more ? April was the single largest increase in monthly ppm ever recorded
The climates not the problem, we have any number of solutions. Lots of really easy stuff we're not doing, like not flying and cycling and not driving cars, not replacing meat eating pets when they pass. Alll too inconvenient ? Yes ? Well that just makes my point. We assume our entitlment can continue with a few tweaks, well, we can fool ourselves and each other but nature cannot be fooled.
Ask a behavioral expert not a climate scientiest. Can't even get people to stop flying to a Taylor Swift concert or a football match what hope ?

On the plus side it pushed me to Linux as my desktop OS.

Americans treat politics more like football rather then then evaluate politics to see what best for themselves, their community and their country. It's like relegion and is more an indoctrination thing. They're not alone in that of courses, its just seems more pronounced and tribal there.
I am not American and don't live there but used to years ago.
Why ? I am sure there are lots of good architects that can't lay a row of bricks for shit and won't take feedback from builders and tradespeople either.
Maybe an excellent developer will read it, agree and have a go ? Or they'll collaborate with somone.

Why do they not want to ? Ego and or indoctrination mainly. (Work itself has worth for being work, power over others, you're an attention whore and fear obscurity, or some combination ). There's also a stigma with being retired.
I retired at 35 and am now 58. My only regret was not stopping earlier.
I quit at 35 and am now 58. My only regret was being too afraid to do it earlier.
How ? I long ago was able to to differentiate needs from wants.
I do own my own small house. Each year I have excess funds, some is rolled over and reinvested, some is donated to charity, because the small investments I do have earn way more then my needs.
I'd consider euthanasia if I had to return to work because of some unforseen reason, after deaades of freedom Arbeit macht frei is prison.
