It is a definitional and logical conclusion that a concept cannot tolerate its anathema and inverse.

This is a pretty good rewording removing ambiguity.

As for my experience seeing this point brought up, its usually to silence a voice, and then this logical statement is equaled to the moral reasoning and justification in one, instead of reasoning inside that case how a "removal" would be required.

What if the other party in question is of the opinion they didn't break it, yet the other claims it has been. Who gets to decide it?

What does nuking a potato mean? Unfamiliar with the slang.

As an individual you can't be expected to do that and there are many good reasons not to do it, as you could suffer from consequences. As part of a society, all of your actions do shape the social environment around you in small ways. But when the interests of you as an individual with those actions of society clash, you do bear the responsibility of what happens in that society. In my opinion this would apply even to those who have worked against unethical actions, because taken for a bigger scope at a nationwide level, it wouldn't be feasible to exclude those from reparations either way. Even if the "good" would get compensated with a lower tax, they will economically feel it either way, as the "bad" around them are still sanctioned. And then the ethical dilemma is what could be considered "good" or "bad" at all.

Now taken this generalized context back to marginalized groups, if everyone would be obligated to be an activist, it would punish those unable to cope with the additional stressors activism could entail. Then, the question is who is actually marginalized and who is not, the rich 1% is a minority, but definitely not in "need". There are people labeling themselves as things which they are not. (Some "leftist queer" folk are more rightwing in their deeds, than actual conservatives.) I also believe those who fight for the rights of those that person itself doesn't belong to, adds nuances, you can quite often see ideological shifts in people depending on their income. Which gives the question on whether a truly fair solution between groups is attainable, and probably an unsolvable optimization problem, so compromises must happen.

Every policy you go for, will eventually have some people discriminated against in some ways or even actively harm them. No matter what your stance on HRT and medical transition is, there will be some people who should not have done it in the first place, or should have to alleviate their gender dissonance. And whatever line you draw in the sand, there will be something wrong with it. Expecting everybody to strictly enforce some kind of policy by activism, is an ethical burden we can't place on an individual, but which we involunatarily bear by its consequence.

This should be illegal. As a person who was once false flagged manually by network attribution. Of course the anti troll flagging network was itself socially destroyed by time and is frequently cause of scandals while nobody cares for me.

Add certain language patterns and political stances and you have an excellent oppressive tool.

The behavior the study is referring to, is actually result of reddit's algorithms and human psychology. Often the contrarian view of whatever the post is about will automatically float to the top, no matter the topic, opinionated, factual or debunking, nature.

That is probably true, but doesn't mean much when gaming is such a mainstream activity.

For orientation you could use much subtler ways. There are models which look like a dumpster of random colors. For these it absolutely is only about cost savings, and I grew up from a time building 1300+ pcs models as a kid when Lego didn't even have the colors for "orientation" and never had an issue. There are enough methods for orientation which don't require using screaming lime and azure colors. There are enough shades of grey for that.

Lego's tolerances are pretty good, and so are a couple of other non-counterfeit brands. They might be a bit "stickier". Lego as an overall product is behind. The prices are not just high, rather borderline questionable. Color consistency is notoriously poor with certain colors, due to cost saving measures. They stopped using colored granulated plastics, and instead inject ink.

They charge premium licensing prices and deliver stickers while Cobi is able to print it properly. Cobi is pricey mind you, but they at least deliver. Lego has no proper lighting, which opened the market for Fun Whole. They butchered and killed their robotics line up of Mindstorns. Lego butchered their Technic electronics with compatibility breakage and forced app usage. Lego abuses the that brand to keep selling model cars with few functions. Lego abused the Technic brand to publish a Mars Rover which has a design failing suspension and zero chassis stability.

For cost savings, they fill the invisible insides with random colored blocks, drowning alternate uses.

Their product photos are misleading, with photoshopped headlights which don't exist and other trickery.

Lego has likely a way too big catalogue, sells perhaps not enough of most, and goes quantity over quality.

The truth is, there are very well designed sets, with prints, no random colors, at acceptably high prices and they are adorable. And I would and maybe will purchase them and have done so not long ago. It's the amount of crap which comes out. I often assume the Internet scandalizes Lego's state, and of course they do, but when I walk past my local Lego shops, I see terrible designs, at ridiculous prices.

If Lego would position themselves as a mainstream brand at medium prices, nobody would bat an eye. It's them often surcharging 50% above competition at lower quality which grinds people's gears really badly.

HQ Lego Alternatives:

Military, aircraft, small cars: Cobi. Technic: CaDa has licensed premium lines like the AMG GT One . Models with Lighting: Fun Whole, but can near Lego pricing, with higher quality. Kids: Buy used Lego sets, don't bother too much with lost parts, replace them on Bricklink.

And there is a few others. I listed only companies not ripping off duplicates. There is more good ones, and of course a lot of copycat companies.

Might be, because it affects threads only on their server, but it doesn't happen with the web interface.
