  • A big downside to that is that queer was originally insult and some people have negative associations with it and therefore avoid it and might not want to be categorized as such I have heard the "queer community" be used especially in spoken language. The letters LGBT have also been around for a while so it would be weird to get rid of them now.

  • I personally would use Kelvin for science, Celsius is much more useful for everyday things like whether it will rain or snow, whether the paths will be icy, how hot it will be according to the weather report and how hot to make stuff when boiling water or cooking. Kelvin is great for not having negative temperatures which don't make sense.

  • I usually only hear LGBTQIA+ which has the I for intersex and the A Aro/Ace spectrum. The Q is just queer which is a an umbrella term for everything. I don't really see the issue with others though, I also wouldn't know how to make it less complicated in any language. Describing oneself as straight is just comparatively easy as it one thing rather than every other sexuality + also gender stuff. Being homosexual is also just one word and no more difficult.

  • This post reminds me of my beloved but now removed favourite video to fall asleep to. Star war the third gathers back stroke of the west was so good. The subtitles are on the internet archive but the video had gone through the effort of dubbing the whole thing.

  • I've seen wheelbarrows used for that kind of thing. It's not like you could drive into the house anyways. The distances to the road portrayed in the image look quite reasonable. If one has no roads it becomes an issue if there is no replacement. For personal transit there are plenty of alternatives in cities. Pedestrian roads that can be opened to vehicles as exceptions also seem like a good compromise. I don't know where you would ride a bike if there's no road either. Some cities I've been to have bike lanes wide enough to fit cars too.

  • One could use rentable delivery vans for furniture and companies could have cars for transporting tools and workers from a central location to where they are required. The civilians who work there can indeed just take a bus/metro/bicycle and be faster in many cases.

  • The goals being labeled "car driver", "website creator", and "male doctor" wasn't enough to make it obvious that they haven't studied humans long enough to see how they actually communicate?
