We're taking about morally good and bad here.

Killing people in self defense might be necessary, but that doesn't make it good.

Killing people is morally bad, even if it's someone no one in their right mind would hesitate to murder if given the opportunity, like Putin.

the assumption of correctness is a consequence of accrued education and experience

Not really, no.

Would you want x done to you?

If not, don't do it to others.

It's as simple as that.

Oh, some instances definitely will. The nice thing, though, is that others won't.

Yeah, and the Roman Empire lasted until 1453, but that doesn't mean what people think of when they say Roman Empire didn't collapse in 476 (and the Byzantine Empire in 1204).

Whatever's left of the USA in a few decades might call itself USA (well, one or two bits of it might, others most definitely won't), but it evidently won't be the USA as we understand it today, and neither would any hypothetical future union or coalition of those fragments.

Given the vast number of people who are currently also suffering from CEO-induced extreme emotional disturbance, the bastards should be shitting their pants in abject terror right now...

Saburo Arasaka was born in 1919 in Japan... wait, sorry, wrong biography. This corporate villain was born in Taiwan in 1963.

Seems like a common side effect...

Seriously. Just empty a bag of rice on the ground in front of a vampire and then tell me how cool and terrifying it is.

Do it inside of your door without inviting it in for extra measure, so the damn thing has to try to count the grains without coming in, and It'll be stuck there until the sun comes out and it burns to ash.

We could have drowned so many billionaires (and one trillionaire) in this water, instead of wasting it...

Makes sense. Light bicycle won't break your puny bones despite your insufficient calcium intake, but heavy battery will.

You want to drive one of these, up your calcium game. Drink your milk. Eat at least a kilogram of cheese every day.

 

Bug Report

Describe the issue:

The font size of the comments appears to be random (see attached screenshot).

The global and comment font size settings don't seem to have any effect.

It doesn't seem to correlate with comment length, depth, age, score, or any other variable I can think of.

I just updated the app and it's still happening.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open a post's comments.
  2. Scroll. Unfold folded comments.
  3. Notice the rich variety of font sizes.
  4. Struggle to read the smaller ones because you're not as young as you used to be.

Bug Report

Describe the issue: Images are loaded at extremely low resolution.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Find a post with an image, preferably with text.
  2. Touch it to open it full screen to see the details or read the text.
  3. Observe the meagre amount of pixels (see example above).
  4. Squint to try to read the text.
  5. Fail due to pixel insufficiency.
  6. Despair.
  7. Touch “open external” to open the post on the browser (https://mander.xyz/post/43475080 for the attached example).
  8. Open the image in the browser.
  9. Marvel at the difference in resolution compared to the one opened in the app.
