If China demanded that its great firewall apply to Chinese citizens abroad, this would be considered a shocking authoritarian overreach by most people in the west. Yet a judge in Brazil can order that, and it's just taken at face value

Having a dominant two-party system is counted as a demerit in the democracy index scoring rules, so that is almost a tautology. See item 10 here: https://www.transparency.org.nz/docs/2017/Democracy_Index_20... Ite

It's heartbreaking that they're going to self-destruct over _this_. The Internet Archive holds invaluable collections of digital content for which there is no replacement, and they decided to put all of that work in mortal danger

Their actual argument is that the arms don't sit exactly to the sides of the body like in a Lego man, which is true. The armpit example is just a little exercise people can do at home to convince themselves of this fact. If you don&#x2
