To be fair, if they weren't too heavy to move then by the time England got there they probably would've found that some of them had already been relocated to Rome or Medina.

Automatic removal for repeat URL posting

That seems like the best of these ideas. But it would be better for the originating instance to warn the poster that their url has already been seen and stop them posting it unless they really really want to.

Makes me wonder, what do they think is the appropriate legal punishment for a 14-year-old caught logging in to Instagram?

That would result in massive protests.

It's just that around my part of the world, not actually doing it is way more common than not thinking you probably should be doing it.

If you're in a place where that opinion is unpopular you may not be in the real world.

Google's version of android isn't the "real" one, it's the (soon to be even more) defective one.

Imagine using the same streaming service as people who aren't cis het rich white male Christian conservatives. That's the bizarre dystopian future the radical woke left wants to force on our children.

Yes, just inertia explains what's described. I'm in the habit of drinking a hot beverage that sometimes has bits of stuff floating in it, and if there's one floating bit I want to slurp up right away the practical way to get it over to the side of the cup I'm drinking from is to turn around until I'm on the same side of the cup that it is. I rotate, the liquid doesn't. It's' true that "the water will eventually catch up" to the rotation of the bowl, but it might take quite a lot of rotations before it gains any appreciable momentum. The viscosity of water is relatively low.
