This had to be deliberate.

It's almost like that Mao guy knew what to do with landlords.

Honestly I'm just used to censoring it for the reddit/facebook/etc algorithmic censors. I generally dislike censoring quotes.

Since the emancipation of the N******, the distinction between the two parties has been diminishing. The fight between these two parties has been mainly over the height of customs duties. Their fight has not had any serious importance for the mass of the people. The people have been deceived and diverted from their vital interests by means of spectacular and meaningless duels between the two bourgeois parties.

Had to look him up

In 2018, Polis was elected governor of Colorado. He is the first openly gay man elected governor of a U.S. state

Does that make him the first openly gay governor to engage in union busting? how progressive 🙃

I believe there's specific criteria and tests published, you can probably look them up.

Personally, one of the reasons I don't really care about all the arguments about who can compete in what category of olympic sport is that in most sports everyone at that level is some kind of high powered mutant. Yes they train a lot, but 99% of people could do the same and never be olympic level. To give a specific example, having Alpha-actinin 3 deficiency makes it impossible to become an elite level sprinter, but it isn't considered a disease because 60% of the Caucasian population have it.

In some ways it would be more egalitarian to just let people take whatever drugs they want, instead of punishing people who use technology to make up for not winning the genetic lottery.

Diving, partly because of money, but I'm also not sure about the medical requirements.

Also flying, same reasons but money is a bigger factor there.

I always assumed the term is used specifically to differentiate it from "working days", but talking to my bank today they claimed that "calendar days" doesn't include weekends and bank holidays.

For now, yes.

Although having tried to use the audio recaptca before, it felt like a psychotic episode.

Mastodon's implementation of outboxes is broken, the Devs don't seem to have any intention of fixing it.

There's no way this is ADA compliant.
