    Rivers clearly demark the boundary for anyone without GPS or other means of determining a precise location. Same as hills and mountain ranges, which are also common boundaries.

    The fact that some rivers can wander and people tend to bold cities across rivers is a thing against them, but people build across any kind of boundary.


  • For a very long time US currency did not have a lot of effective anticountergeit measures compared to other countries, and there is a massive amount of US bills decades old still used for transactions. Even the sheer amount of bills being used makes it easier to slip in some counterfeit in an otherwise valid bundle of cash before the fact that it is easier to counterfeit older US bills.

    A lot of it is momentum from that, and $100 bills being a great value to volume with lower security measures compared to other currencies. Especially if counterfeiting older US bills.








  • A blanket ‘bigoted artists’ rule is ripe for banning based on someone’s entire history, like firing James Gunn for bad jokes in old tweets.

    Instead I would prefer to ban individual artists based on their art. So I fully support banning Jago comics because all the ones I remember are based on anti LGBTQ+ or sexist stereotypes. Not because they are bigoted, but because their content is. No idea who stonetoss is, but if their content is similar then I would also favor banning them.

    No purity tests though.

    I dislike the ‘mutilated’ label being applied and take it as an insult because of the negative connotations despite not personally having any downsides. It is like claiming that everyone who is overweight based on BMI is unhealthy despite many athletes having a high BMI due to having a lot of muscle.

    Plus the person I was responding to said adults who voluntarily chose to get circumcised are mutilated themselves. With that logic ear piercings and voluntarily removing annoying, but not medically probematic moles is mutilation. My point is that you can’t just ignore the negative connotations and use a broad brush to describe people while claiming it is technically accurate.

    No, it should not be done to babies without a medical necessity. That doesn’t mean calling everyone who has been circumcised mutilated won’t come across as insulting.
