It's like they hired Fred Durst, Jonathan Davis and Eminem to draw album covers for Jihadist nümetal bands.
It's like me going to a bakery and making sure they aren't putting hand grenades in the ovens, and posting conspicuous warning signs about the dangers hand grenade shrapnel poses to croissants and the people who eat them.
What is it with totalitarian states, and this thing where they don't get that it's not about them?
I hope they keep it up. If this is their idea of effective sentiment manipulation, fucking awesome. I'd love to see what happens if we turn up the volume on this kind of ridiculously inept play at influence.
I'd imagine it starts to look not unlike sudden emails from Nigerian princes, thoughtfully explaining their ardent desires to share their clutch of investments with me, if only I'd helpfully provide the bank account to wire all that fabulous money into.
It's not appropriate to wax indignant about remains that may have all but disintegrated into unrecognizable mud. These are not organized places, like the parks on land with paths that people walk.
Consider the wreckage of the Titanic:

No one can simply swin to the bottom of the ocean to pay their respects.
A system of authority and security does not operate at an economic level of autonomy. A regimented heirarchy differs from the conceptual model of interaction among autonomous individuals and organizational collectives.
They were unrecognizable nobodies before, and now they are unrecognizable nobodies with more money. They will become unrecognizable nobodies again, next week, or next month, or next year, and move right along with the rest of their lives.
Conceptually, this is how legislation works. You start with politicians no one cares about, and you end with politicians no one cares about selling you out, because most of what they do is boring.
OMG YOU GUIZE. SEMANTIC WEB. SEO.
Use words... somehow? (alt text on images, human readable uris, meta tags, blah blah blah, that seems to be the gist of it, what a revolution)
If a change in planetary albedo can disrupt weather patterns, then gross control should likely afford for a reversal. If you could change the reflective surface of country-sized zones, would the opposite be possible?
What if the general reflective surface of uninhabited areas were darkened across the spectrum, but especially in the radiative thermal and infrared region? Would monsoons return?
10,000 years is pre-historic. I wonder how many seasons were required to transform the region, given that the desert continues to expand even today.
If monsoons were returned, figure 2 generations of monsoons (40 years) might show significant reversal?
Schools are noisy places. It's partly a signal-to-noise and triage problem.
Kids fighting wjth each other. Kids disrupting class. Long quiet noiseless periods during tests. Fixed attention while movies are shown in class. Noisy cafeterias, amid rushed, scheduled lunches. Gym class as a more general hell. During the pace of everything else, it probably just blows by, while other more chaotic events grab attention.
To the individual child, it's all-consuming. To the reader, each experience collected with similar accounts reads as deliberate child starvation. To bystanders in the moment, there's probably a moment of temporary confusion, and then it's ignored.
Kids should pretty much eat for free, especially at public schools, but in general too. It doesn't change the fact that healthy food remains expensive, and that kids will try to eat junk food as much as possible, but the last thing anyone wants to hear is kids being deprived of food for petty reasons.
It probably rings in the mind as less urgent in the moment, when there are no apparent signs of malnutrition visibly evident. Not as much the Dickensian orphanage of the imagination. In the moment, the situation probably strikes a person as the usual scolding ever-present throughout any school.
Complexity can both improve and reduce security depending on specifics, and thus generalizes to "no correlation" demonstrating that generalizations are often misleading.
If there are two and only two roommates and they disagree, and they fuck but are not married, and they settle an argument with evidence-based results, what do you call that?
If there are two and only two roommates and they disagree, and they fuck but are not married, and they differ in gender, and they settle an argument with evidence-based results, what do you call that?
But if you have a married couple, and while adhering to traditional gender roles, they happen to disagree about anything, uh oh! Everybody sulks about the patriarchy.
I feel like use of the term "procedurally generated" is an effort to conflate a degree of complexity beyond well-known, existing graphics techniques not available in common software.
I harbor a strong intuition that Sean Spicer lacks a certain je ne sais quoi, required to even consider trying to bitcoin.
As in, such projects carry baggage, in the form of conflict and infighting among developers, and one can expect irritating pedantry when discussing use and preferences.
Usually, you'll encounter something akin to fanatical fans, expressing highly opinionated views about minor details. Sometimes it's because lawyers have been involved. It's not necessarily toxic, but often reflects splintered cellular activity, among groups seeking to distinguish themselves from one another for some reason.
I've had passive/aggressive managers saddle me with nonsense before, and sometimes they were just in a mood but if a pattern develops, it's because they can't find a way to fire you.
But, goodness gracious! Toying with people's lives, investigating random nobodies as if they might be criminals, as a side effect of interpersonal difficulties in the workplace? It's more likely than you think.
Hmmm, something tells me that their era was profoundly different in serious ways that aren't captured in recorded evidence that is available to us.
Before you even get to social interaction among peers, simply weather, disease, medicine, wild animals and poverty were all probably profound dangers to everyone across the face of the earth.
Nevermind literacy, and writing, just imagine how many normal human beings were completely feral, or mute, or inacapable of communicating verbally, for a wide range of reasons, including growing up in isolated wilderness and simply never learning organized speech, as part of a formal language.
Anyone who might help another person by sharing food and staying warm was probably of marginal pratical use, until the next period of hard times, either because of the random of marauders or nature taking its course.
I'm pretty sure healthy people who you could hold a conversation with were in short enough supply that once familiar, everyone made quick use of any luxuries available. No books or formal education, meant bootstrapping these things as new ideas which had no generational inertia, which means probably very nearly everything for most societies was very comfortably (or not comfortably at all) based on oral traditions.
Also people fucking died. Early. Lots of people's teeth were probably gone by 25. Blindness in an eye or both was probably kind of a little bit normal by 30 for many.
So, age was probably a different thing back then. In places where misery is coming from all directions, I'll allow for degrees of moral relativism. Especially for any period pre-dating the emergent modernity of ancient Rome. Any nomadic society that can't exactly distinguish diseases from curses and witchcraft, or even weather and plagues from punishing deities, kind of gets a hall pass.
