Indeed. Being Mediterranean might have some things being of more relevance due to local shared culture, but it is by no means a definitive thing. Being a man or straight likewise. He could in fact have more in common with an Irish or Japanese lesbian woman than his closes male neighbhour. Getting fixated on skin and sex is just as idiotic as those who do so on the left. Identity Politics divide. He should use his mutable hobbies, values, and views as shared interests instead of something un-changeable and un-choosable.

A Pacifist will always win over a Warrior, in combat. But there are many avenues of war and ways of fighting, that doesn't include combat. Culture, Science, Arts, Education, etc.

They also don't have a way forward, only a way to destroy what is. Their tactics are all slash and burn. Sowing confusion, lies, and propaganda. That doesn't bode well for building a society of trust and truth. Theirs would be an actual Pyrrhic victory.

The adults are still alive, and could make new kids, so it's not exactly ashes.

I do agree that some principles are more important than others. Hence why I used Scope in my initial post. When they're too broad, they're ineffective at most. That's different from breaking the principle you have though. I'll allow for "exception to the rule" though.

Theoretically, yes Although that's a different kind of "movement", as well as a different kind of particle. But I get your meaning.

It would be a scorched earth tactic, but not a Pyrrhic one, as you wouldn't lose anything by it. In fact, you'd win..

"kill all the children" wasn't a principle, but a natural extension of you placing victory above principles.

Principles are more important than winning. Would you kill all children on Earth if it'd let you win?

Find out your principles first,then stick to them. Otherwise you're a hypocrite. Lets say you are totally against women, then you'd be a hypocrite if you don't diss your own existence (your mother, if you don't get it). There's such a thing as scope. Be specific and more detailed.

I haven't watched Eurovision since Lordi won. In fact, I haven't even had a TV since people were afeared of the Y2K bug.

Thanks to my cynical nature, I've learned to stay away from reboots, remakes, and remasters, through observation. Like Pharaoh, Startopia, Diablo 2 Resurrected, WarCraft 3 Reforged, and I'm sure you can find some more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_game_remakes_and_remastered_ports?useskin=vector

The problem there are the legislations surrounding alternatives. Even supposedely eco-friendly ones. Here you have to ask permission for building it, then be required to sell left-over electrity to the energy companies. So they know you have it, and you can't future-proof it. They'll also tax it. It's a good plan if done ..subtly.. though.

Now that I've seen the clip, and not just a pic, I do agree it's entirely the bikers fault.

The cat most, but you can't control or expect a sentient creature to comprehend sapient rules. The biker second, because he's too close to the car in front. The car last (maybe he was going too fast..)

Keep on as they are. DNS blocking and MV3 compliant "declarativeNetRequest" instead of "webrequest". Almost every other browser will be similarly affected, so it'll be "par for the course/just the way it is".. sadly.

Awesome City-Builder. Played the heck out of it back in the day.

Opera is Chinese owned and backed by the CCP, plus it's Closed Source and spies on you. Arc is a MacOS chromium browser firstly.. Besides, like I said, hard forking a google chromium browser isn't going to go down well, at all. Cries of "obsolete", and "unsecure" will abound. They'd also still be reliant on google web extensions.. Rooting out google from browsers today would mean breaking up all their internet related avenues. Ads, fonts, analytics, tag manager, web rtc, webgl, web extensions, web assembly, web components, widewine, safe browsing, irregexp, geo location, Skia, search, android, and chromium.

They could stay on an old version of google chromium and do a hard fork. However, that would bring out cries of "old browser, out of date" by its nay-sayers. They could also switch browser "engine" (not back to their original firefox one, since that will also be affected by MV3), but there's not much competition there.. FF is basically chromium-lite today. There is Pale Moon and Basilisk though. Powered by Goanna, instead of Gecko (firefox) or blink (chromium). There's also Web Kit (Safari), but it's what blink (chromium) forked off of..

Brave is a google chromium soft fork browser. Their built-in adblocker works through both DNS blocking and MV2 WebRequest blocking elements. Neither will work when they update to MV3.

Different "levels" of Rights. They have Human Rights, which should be sensible and basic. They shouldn't have Citizens Rights.

Isn't that circular logic? Like "the bible says god exists. god exists because he wrote the bible."?
