Wrong place to leave a habitat for bugs.

There are men who report being disciplined or fired for so much as saying “I like that outfit.”

I work in this area, and in my experience, there is way more going on than just a compliment about an outfit whenever someone is getting disciplined. Employees who claim that usually have no ability to self-reflect about the extent or appropriateness of their behaviour.

It does seem like an oddly specific denial.

Including humans. I'm not going near the person launching pinecones at my head from their yard.

The article has a paragraph later on that says:

In rejecting the plaintiffs' claims for damages, the court said, "It cannot be said that discussions at the Diet...regarding provisions not allowing same-sex marriage are clearly in violation of the Constitution."

I suspect the plaintiffs are only appealing that aspect of the judgment.

A certain portion of the population seems to already deify anything Trump says.

You asked why the comment was getting downvoted. I responded with how the comment could be interpreted in a way that warrants downvotes.

You seem to have taken that proposed explanation very personally for some reason.

Lots of stuff by Tim Minchin, including my favourite Christmas song, White Wine in the Sun.

I don't know about that. When I used to ride a bike to work near a busy truck route, I felt like the truck drivers were the most courteous and conscious of keeping a safe distance. Normal car drivers were a mixed bag: usually not a problem, but not reliable enough to trust. But bus drivers... it felt like bus drivers were actively pissed off by the existence of cyclists.

It's not about you feeling like a big kid or feeling over protected. It's not the subscriber that is left sitting with a server full of illegal material if someone subscribes to that sort of content, it's the instance owner, and they will be the ones that end up risking prison

If you want federation with everything, then make your own instance which hosts copies of child abuse, terrorist and hate material. But don't criticise admins for not wanting to risk jail time so you can feel uncensored.

same way stores can deny service to individuals.

That really depends on the reasons. Denying service for a discriminatory reason (like a disability) will generally breach discrimination laws.
