That's a great idea. The only problem would be determining the correct set of things to be protested at any given time. So I'd suggest grouping them into flavors - say US liberal or US conservative flavors. You just choose the one

I would imagine this works best for large scale projects that are on nice flat land? So plenty of room for humans to handle smaller/trickier projects. And of course to look after the machines that are doing the work. Turning a blind ey

We opted for Mermaid (mentioned in your article) and auto-layout in our new offering. As you would expect, it has its pros and its cons. As diagrams get bigger and more complex, mermaid's auto-layout gets more and more challenged and m

I would say the first one is really a personal question, so just No is fine. As to the second two, sying "No" with no explanation would probably mark you out as a bit of a dick/ difficult to work with.

Personal contexts are different. Quite acceptable to say just "No" to: - do you want me to get you a drink? - may I kiss you? - I hear they're doing shrooms next door, shall we join them?

Appeasement. The very word conjures up images of brave resistance. Maybe I'm older but I imagine that Europeans have strong cultural memory of just how bad a strategy appeasing dictators is. Putting up with pain at the gas pump is diff

It's all about speed. Right now there's a post on the front page about "understanding higher-kinded types". Assuming this is something about certain kinda of people (I'm guessing a play on "high minded"?)

Bay of pigs was not an official invasion and it certainly was not effective, hence my comment.
