Hairsplitting and inauthentic pedantry. If we want to go that road:

The only applicable provision there is that UNDEFENDED cities shouldn't be attacked; this was not the state of Japanese home cities which were aggressively defended as best they could. None were declared 'open' in the context of the Hague rules.

Hague 1923 DRAFT version (https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Finternational-review.icrc.org%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2FS0020860400071370a.pdf) proposed standards re air attacks BUT WAS NEVER ADOPTED AS INTERNATIONAL LAW.

Because of this lack of clarity, during Post WW2 war crime trials no German/Japanese soldiers were prosecuted for 'indiscriminate bombing of civilians'. I'm curious about your assertion of German officers prosecuted in Nuremburg for 'technical violations ... that were carried out for humanitarian reasons"? Examples?

In short: I don't find your assertions persuasive or challenging at all.
Your position is nonsensical and Pollyansish. That's fine, there's nothing wrong with being a pacifist. Everyone else recognizes that war happens, and refusing to participate simply means you accept that you are handing power to those wiling to wield it.

Well it certainly seems like you people are afraid of white males, given the numbers of statues you've torn down to replace with statues of fat black chicks or fentanyl-suiciding felons.

Just keep arguing with nobody, AC. It's important to your C-ness.

"You're basically eating toxic waste"
"Yes, but there are no animals harmed!"

I'm a carnivore, but I've had amazing all-vegetarian meals at friends' homes or some restaurants. I truly don't understand why someone morally opposed to flesh-as-food wants something that looks/tastes(vaguely) of meat?

And Democrats won't cover it at all because it was basically all white men, not one of them trans.

It occurs to me that is exactly what a fledgling Skynet would want us to do...

"And probably almost all those could run Linux just fine and perform better than they were with MS-Windows 10 or could with 11."

I'm not sure why Linux devotees are so consistently delusional about this.

It's simply not true. Almost nobody who plays games, for example, could play as easily or better on Linux.

...but getting LEGISLATION PASSED is how you change things.

People need to stop taking shortcuts which is all administrative rulings are - they can be changed at the whim of the executive (because they were never intended to be for meaningful things, more just managerial decisions).

Do it the constitutionally-correct way, and it will be a lot more durable.

Not at all. Kind of a clinical thrill observing a OCD psycho that can't stop responding. Say something bad about Trump! I know you want to! C'mon, he's awful isn't he? How can he continue just going along every day, blissfully unaware of your rage?

It's almost like you're inconsequential? That has to hurt.

See? There I am again!

Hi, psycho! I'm right here. You should think about me some more. Mmmmm. Obsessivey.

Not even slightly.
Here's the comment chain again:

  DrMrLordX asked for actual examples where these satellites have improved yields or lowered costs.
The snarky AC answer was "are you living in a different reality than most people?"
And I questioned the point of that reply, when the op had literally just asked for examples.

Ad hominems - implying the question was 'insane', I guess? - are generally the first sign that someone is arguing dishonestly.

How does that even faintly imply I'm asking for evidence myself?

This has always been my point.

Climate change bullshit is sucking all the air out of the room, while fretting over prognostications with error bars off the chart that threaten to - maybe - make the world richest cultures slightly-less-rich in a century is nothing compared to ACTUAL poisons being dumped around the world today.

We need to first stop shitting where we live. I genuinely DGAF about 2 deg C in a century.

Who said anything like that?

You're malfunctioning hilariously. Love how I live in your head for free.

For asking for facts instead of suppositions and speculation?
