Never said we shouldn't be translating the names of countries, only that there is a reason to think we shouldn't. Because the comment I was replying to said "There's no reason to expect them to be the same in different languages."

There is no objective criteria for what a planet is and isn't. Like a lot of things in nature, things just exist, and as humans we categorize them.

You're the second person to ignore the sentence immediately following that.

How?

That's feeding.

Accelerationists are so infuriating.

It's so insane to me that mods would rather kill off a great discussion than let something that might be a little off topic exist.

💀 I hate my country

Never said it was correct to not translate country names. Only that there is a reason to think they wouldn't be.

You don't think there's any middle ground between the two? None whatsoever?

The humans of StackOverflow have been pricks for so long. If they fixed that problem years ago they would have been in a great position with the advent of AI. They could've marketed themselves as a site for humans. But no, fuckfacepoweruser found an answer to a different question he believes answers your question so marked your question as a duplicate and fuckfacerubberstamper voted to close it in the queue without critically thinking about it.

I haven't really dived deep on this but my gut feeling is because they linked to the erotic games. I looked into this a bit in the past, but I may be getting it mixed up with Google's policies on Docs now that I'm thinking of it, but maybe they have similar policies. The gist was that they weren't as concerned with hosting legal artistic erotic content as they were linking to it. Like they didn't want their platform to be used in a way to sort of advertise porn. I'm actually pretty sure I'm thinking of Google Docs though. I was looking for a way to publish erotic stories and considered GitHub Pages as well as Google Docs so it sort of blends together.

You can still have mirrors of your stuff on GitHub and push there, just have your primary forge be a different place.

Rare Fossil win

In theory you could make a bot that stores all of those things within git periodically. Maybe do something with git notes https://git-scm.com/docs/git-notes

I disagree, because typically it means someone is racist or sexist and just doesn't want to see people of color or queer characters. Such people may still be willing to engage with the political aspects of their gaming insofar as they may join initiatives like Stop Killing Games or argue that game devs should be treated better, but they're just bigoted assholes who can't handle people of color or queer characters.

Also don't mistake this as a defense of them. They're deplorable. I'm just saying I don't agree with the statement as written.

Exactly! It's right there past Mars! It's not like it's some weird thing off in the cold dark past Pluto.

Your name is your name. Things like Jack versus Jacques or Matthew versus Mateo exist, but those aren't your name.

Thanks, fixed

But they specifically said "There's no reason to expect them to be the same in different languages." Which there absolutely IS a reason to expect that.

There is no objective criteria for what a planet is and isn’t.

There is, though, or rather there should be another one.

The official definition says

But I also said,

Like a lot of things in nature, things just exist, and as humans we categorize them.
