This is the best usage of this phrase I've ever seen

I'm confused how you don't see the logic. It says right there.

He claims that the lost "potential population" from teen parents will cost the state revenue and political representation.

A person pays taxes. Less people = less tax income. More people = more tax income.

It's entirely idiotic, but it's not hard to understand?

There can be multiple different people and multiple different motivations within people that do not all need to agree with each other. One person/thought can be good, while others aren't.

That discrepancy alone doesn't discredit the good things, unless they're directly related. In this case, they aren't. Israel's genocide needs to be condemned, but so need to be the events from Tiananmen square.

I hate arguments like yours. It's always like, "you either be perfect or you're the worst scum on Earth". Completely counterproductive. Yes, criticize the bad parts. But don't paint the good things, like this, as bad, it's just unnecessary.

Especially, an art installation at one place has absolutely nothing to do with who decides who goes to a stupid song contest. Wtf.

You may not be a nutcase, but you're definitely lacking understanding for others. How is anyone supposed to know you're not a nutcase? Only you are able to know that. It's simply impossible for anyone else except if they knew you for many years.

It's almost certain they can't. Motives are notoriously hard to prove, and they can just invent a plausible, legal, lie.

The lawsuit says that they think exactly what you're talking about is unlawful according to the DMCA. Let's see how it goes.

Obviously, JK Rowling was not a tactical mastermind.

However in the universe she created, any powerful wizard worth a damn would simply keep protective shields up all the time, especially against such simple things like "fast objects hitting them".

Protego seems to be doing a lot with barely any effort to cast. Fred&George even create permanently enchanted clothing with Protego on it.

Ethics will probably change... I guess in the future it'll become pretty irrelevant to have "nude" pictures of oneself somewhere, because everyone knows it could just be AI generated. In the transition period it'll be problematic though.

As was said, the mod author stated the goal was to reduce diversity.

There are other mods that change gender of characters that state no such thing, which are still up.

How are new memes supposed to emerge if non-memes are removed?!?! Checkmate Lemmings

The difference seems to be that you read the article.
