A large swarm of satellites, forming an adjustable solar shade, sitting around L1 for Earth-Sun is likely the best approach we would have. The swarm wouldn't be in a geosynchronous orbit, though, but instead a heliosynchronous one.

Oh, good! That's excellent then.

Exactly this. If Reddit wasn't pulling in enough revenue to have value, as a business, it would have collapsed years ago.

As per OP's edits, yes.

Well, it's been more than a hot minute. How long are folks supposed to wait? There's ultimately only two feasible scenarios here, given the details we have at hand.

Sure. But still, why a tower? Even at their best, towers are just shelves that require more floorspace.

Trademarks? Why...? All trademarks do is ensure consumers know who made a given product.

If I make cola, even if it's the same as Coca-Cola, shouldn't consumers be able to differentiate between my cola and Coca-Cola's cola?

If the answer is "I am cis" or "I am trans", what is the question?

The question would, to be blunt, be "are you cis or trans?", because "cis" and "trans" are just shorthand for "cisgender" and "transgender".

It's a question of very limited scope -- even if you were to reword it -- because in modern society, the exact detail of if someone is cis or trans isn't really practically important. If someone is a man, say, society cares a lot more about them being a man rather than being a cisgender man or a transgender man. (I'd say the same about women, but there's obviously a subset of society that is in the process of demonising trans women, so...)

I think the core issue you've found is that cis/trans-ness is something that only makes sense in the context of something else, the gender identity of the person in question.

Then you haven't really thought about the situation at hand, then. Like, at all.

Imagine sending a picture to your friend. Unprompted, undiscussed. If the picture is a meme, we can both surely agree that that isn't problematic in any way. If the picture is a dick pic, you've just committed sexual harassment.

Even though both were sent without explicit consent, the context of your existing relationship matters, and -- in the context of you and your friend not sending sexually explicit photos to one another on the regular -- the lack of consent in the case of sexual material is a significant issue.

This is essentially the problem with the scenario at hand. The people who suddenly had pornography show up on their front page did not consent to it by subscribing to a porn sub. Yes, even if it was voted on by a tiny minority of subscribers, and yes, even if the sub essentially became a porn sub -- the eleven million existing subscribers didn't consent to seeing that material.

There is, frankly, essentially no way to take an existing, large subreddit, with millions of users, and make it a porn subreddit without violating the consent of a significant chunk of those users. No matter how much the moderators want to do so.

Please don't tell me I need to explain sexual consent to you.

Because it wasn't a porn sub before. They had, what, eleven million users? If you can't see the problem there, I think you're being a little disingenuous.

Ah, honestly, I wouldn't recommend starting with SeaBlock. Krastorio 2 is a better overhaul-ish mod to get into modded gameplay.

Best of luck with the Deathworld Marathon run, that sounds pretty damn difficult.

Nah, I mean more that I think relying on people to just post stuff themselves would be better for the community. But scraping would be the way forward, relying on the API would be prohibitively expensive IMO.
