This is only a few paragraphs in; on a larger screen you don't even have to scroll.

This industrial revolution was precipitated by the discovery of the steam engine, various spinning machines, the mechanical loom, and a whole series of other mechanical devices.

What is so objectionable about that, or so hard about copying it?

Being required to read something for less than 60 seconds isn't a violation of your rights- in fact, this is less than 1% of the time a EULA or ToS takes. It also takes less time and bandwidth than many of the AI-training Captchas nowadays.

If you have a problem with reading 30 seconds of something you have a feeling you might disagree with, the real problem is you not being willing to peek outside your bubble.

Priority of God and not worshipping idols? Lumped into one commandment.

Having desires that conflict with someone's property rights? Two whole commandments.

I feel like if you have a solid understanding of how your philosophy relates to your politics, you shouldn't have to make stylistic concessions and conformations, like the case here.

Always claim authority if you're in a position to (and I would certainly expect someone who's been organizing since the 2000s to have that kind of position).

I'm eager to hear what rule or part of the CoC I was being reported for, or whether it was just for wrongthink.

In full disclosure I asserted that a blanket categorization of Ukrainians as Nazis was racist.

American global presence is still going to take decades to fully wane, unless the process is precipitated all at once in a widely encompassing outbreak of conflict. Beyond a horizon of 2 years into the future, I'm not sure which I prefer either.

Biden has a steadfast commitment to Ukraine's fight against future generations of Ukrainians.

If I was going to do an archaeology, I would simply not do it as part of a military detachment.

it's just extending death and destruction in a moment where there's a real path towards winding it down.

I totally agree: it's disappointing and ill-advised, but not unprecedented.

On the other hand, by sending American missiles to be fired on another country's undisputed territory, America accepts that there might be a counter-operation. Do you trust either Biden or Trump to be the adult in the room and accept that if Russia starts using it as justification for attacks on Americans?

If Ansar Allah shot a Russian-made missile at the US (or even at Camp Lemonnier) that would be funny and righteous.

There are chestnut species native to northeast Asia which I suspect are already cultuvated as a prolific food source by the DPRK.

Do they have any secret chestnut cultivars? I want to believe that it's possible to revive the native Turtle Island chestnut population.

Who cares.

It's a weapon that Ukraine has, they're at war, it's not a nuke, it ethically doesn't matter whether they made it themselves or received it as a gift*, of course they're going to shoot it at a target in the country that destroyed their infrastructure and turned part of their countryside into a no-man's-land and is occupying places they lived just 3 years ago.

If you wanna get mad at American weapons being used overseas in illegal wars, there are plenty being dropped on defenseless people, out of Israeli aircraft, every single day.
