Better a muzzled monarchy than a power vacuum every time, it's worked in the UK, Spain, (um... probably elsewhere but it worked well enough in those two places after their autocratic dictators kicked the bucket, and look where it left Russia and to an extent Italy - mafia, economy stagnating etc)
what like "Tommy Robinson, Whose Real Name Is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon", where you have to use the full name at all times
I'd love to see Bing or Qwant or Yandex (to be honest ideally Bing as they share their index) get a similar deal for StackOverflow or Github just to give Google a taste of their own medicine now
Works on jerboa (& eternity), not your instance. The default web front end doesn't support it, and it's not in the specification, so it's good to have the bot
What an horrible rule
If you're a germaphobe then surely you should know that 100% salt is enough to yeet literally any microorganism to the back of beyond; in fact anything over 30% is
That lamp is more hygienic than your dinner plate, more than the inside of any food package and infinitely more than your hands even after you've just washed them
Who's suggesting that people are using if statements for arithmetic?
The only time that you can feasibly replace an if statement with arithmetic is if it's a boolean, but frankly that's an edge case... Also if you're not writing in rust or c or whatever then don't worry as the interpreter will run a huge amount of branches for every line of code (which is what all your nested ifs, switches, gotos, returns etc. will compile down to anyway)

Iirc though the most similar are west country and a few accents from the southern states in the US, but they've evolved a lot too so they're not most similar in every way
Störgeant
There's a difference between being a team player and a subservient pawn though - if the maintainer wanted to play as a team they would've suggested changes to the patch and accepted OP's PR. As it happens they didn't as they clearly have some sort of a power/superiority complex or something, or at best are dismissive of others to the detriment of the project they work on
In other news there are more than two sets of opinions in the world?
This is my biggest irk about two-party systems. Everyone identifies as one or the other when in reality you're gonna agree with 20-50% of the policies of one and 40-80% of the policies of the other, yet because they identify as a supporter of x party they feel have to pretend they can do no wrong

Of all the theories to pick, that one seems a bit lacking as the reason the US is so religious is that all the religious fanatics moved there when Europe were moving away from that sort of stuff
