It's about seeing natures that we consider separate and opposing as instead complimentary, and part of the same whole - light/dark, male/female... Whether or not you consider this meaningful or profound is of course up to you.

Integration with AWS products. And I assume Amazon is developing a game engine that integrates well with AWS products in order to sell more AWS products.

No one is assuming anything, they are investigating. It's what archaeologists and historians do when they find something interesting.

Why are you so quick to want to shut it down?

How can maximising earnings be basic human behaviour when 'earnings' have only existed for a few thousand years, a tiny fraction of the history of our species?

I don't think taxes will disappear until money does.

Ok, that's fair, I was being a bit over dramatic.

However, I still think that the kind of 'eye for an eye' approach proposed by the comment I was relying to would have a non-trivial, negative impact on the reporting of crimes. Just as guilty people can be acquitted, innocent people can be found guilty (even if it's not automatic), and this means that the accuser is exposing themselves to risk.

Fundamentally, no one should ever have to worry about the consequences of reporting a crime.

That's a terrible idea. It would mean that people would fear to report genuine crimes because they are then harshly punished if the accused is acquitted.

The fact is that the justice system is not perfect. Occasionally a guilty person will be acquitted, and it would really be best not to also punish an innocent as a result of that.

I think that the majority of the country is generally less comfortable with the idea of coalitions/minority governments/power sharing than many other parliamentary democracies where those things happen more regularly.

Consider the run-up to the 2015 GE when it looked like Labour/Lib Dems/SNP might be able to form a majority coalition even though the Conservatives were likely to be the largest party - there was a lot of sneering at the idea of a "coalition of the losers". That circumstance arises quite frequently and is largely accepted in many other countries, as can be seen from the results of Denmark's recent elections.

I don't think it alienates any of their base. The Lib Dems have always been hugely pro-Europe, I doubt that anyone who voted Leave would have been a supporter in the first place.

Yes, but it's not as though western Europeans all have exactly the same skin tone either - you can still make the wrong assumption. I think the idea would be to have multiple people with different skin tones so that you can check that they all look ok.

Switched from Java to Python as my main moneymaker several years go and I still don't understand why some people have such a big problem with significant whitespace.

You format your code anyway, right? So what's the difference if it actually means something?

Both of these things depend on what country you live in. The US, EU etc are not the world.

The biological consequences, on the other hand, are certain and universal.

Plenty of men aren't there and don't feel guilty about it. And stigma? Only if you live in a very small, close-knit community. For men, unlike women, involvement is a choice. Not an easy choice, but still a choice.

I think the contention is that lyrics and novels are non-overlapping subsets of literature.
