But do you have a code word you never told anyone that you can use to recognise yourself from the future or from a parallel universe?

Just buy a used book, or pirate it. But I guess you’re too busy performing indignation online.

I am able to separate the work from the artist.

No, I do not think we have demonstrated that ecological progress came at the cost of deindustrialization. We could have done both. We just chose the easy path of relaying on the US.

Same, but to be honest, I still think Ukraine could be in a much better position if it had been provided better equipment by the west (and had not botched the “summer offensive”). Maybe it would have not retaken Crimea, but the front could be somewhere in Donbas instead of at the doors of Dnipro.

It is relevant that the USSR took a look at what the Nazis were doing and said, “All in brother, let’s split Poland and shake hands in the middle,” and only turned on them once the Nazis broke the alliance from their side

In modern android you do not open files, you use an OS service to get an image, which may or may not come from a file on the device. If you want to open files you need a different permission.

This is quite reasonable.
