That is not really applicable here. The cathedral itself was never really destroyed even though the Christian rejectors’ mob ransacked it in the “French” Revolution and the latest fire also did not really cause structural damage. It is also

Are you sure what you believe is unadulterated honey because you are familiar with the taste, is not just adulterated and you are just so accustomed to fake honey that you confuse the two? I say that because basically all the honey I’ve eve

It’s because this TikTok matter is not at all about Chinese ownership, which is really rather irrelevant since it is technically an American company based in CA and abides by American laws. The China China China histrionics is disingenuous

Because there is no mechanism in basically all of Africa that would put some kind of limit on it. No strong governmental institutions, no moral framework, no religious framework. And to the contrary, the African continent is largely antithe

I am glad I was not the only one that was taken aback a bit by that. I am not one to be too critical about loose ends or roughness in things that are provided for free and my ability to contribute a change, but it is a bit surprising that M

I get the sentiment, but there really has to be a better way than letting some mod overlords determine what I may be allowed to see, even going to far as to not just taking my autonomy to choose, but to even hide the existence of the choice

Do you remember what was said? The censorious overlords deny us the human right of autonomy to see things and make choices about things like seeing what was written.

It really bugs the hell out of me that we are constantly forced against our will to fund these companies for basically nothing. It’s an utterly insane model. Sure, we get to then give them yet more money to use those critical chips after th

This is why the consequences of dishonesty in such asymmetric dynamics need to be not just major, but stunningly, shockingly severe; e.g., seizure of all assets, including homes and anything that would otherwise be protected to totally impo
