you weren’t banned, they just throttled your requests, and it wasn’t for writing JS but because you sent too many requests, as the http response code says.
pick a pair of any three
if they’re the same, only two are left, which you can then weigh directly
if they’re not, pick any two from the heavier three
if they’re the same, it’s the one left over; if not, well, you can see which one’s heavier

allein es als übervermögen zu bezeichnen ist parasitär
Leider gibt es selbst in den USA, dem vermeintlichen Land der Freiheit, Anstrengungen, eine Vermoegenssteuer einzufuehren (seitens der Senatorin Elizabeth Warren). Ich fuerchte, kein Buerger auf der Welt ist sicher vor dem Parasitismus seiner jeweiligen Regierung.
Wieso eine Vermoegenssteuer generell eine ganz schlechte Idee ist: blog.dennishackethal.com/posts/wealth-t…
Ganz genau. Der amerikanische Politiker Ron Paul (umschrieben): Entwicklungshilfe ist, wenn die Armen eines reichen Landes dazu gezwungen werden, die Reichen eines armen Landes zu finanzieren.
Ekelhaft. Die Deutschen sind den Politikern ausgeliefert.
Dann soll er eben keine Buerger dazu zwingen, dafuer zu bezahlen, wenn ihm der Otto-Normalverbraucher doch so sehr am Herzen liegt.
Und der Fraktionschef der Linken, Dietmar Bartsch: „Wir brauchen eine europaweite Beteiligung der Superreichen. Es darf nicht sein, dass der normale Steuerzahler, der schon unter Inflation und Energiepreisen leidet, allein auch die Kriegsrechnung bezahlen muss.“
Nein: “Die Ukraine wünscht sich von Deutschland 500 Millionen Dollar pro Monat, um das Land durch den Krieg zu bringen. SPD-Chefin Saskia Esken hat eine Idee, wie das dafür nötige Geld eingetrieben werden könnte.”

Well, if even thinking of leaving is already disaster, changing the relationship to one where thinking of leaving is okay may not be so easy. So the word “just” seems misplaced here, and I don’t agree that this solution is “obvious”.

What almost nobody talks about is that most forests are public land, and government tends to do a worse job at ~anything than private companies, at least in the long run.

It’s all in a confined structure.
Children learn language playfully, however they want. It’s not like school where there’s a syllabus they are not allowed to deviate from.
@GoodAsYoucloth @shawkisukkar @paulg
A child is not given an option of languages to freely choose from.
You seem to think ‘absence of force’ = ‘having at least two options to choose from’ but that’s not true.
@Thomas190163 @JanAlbrecht @welt
Auch wenn sie “zum Wohle der Steuerzahler” eingesetzt werden, ist es Raub. Raub ist, wenn dir jemand dein Eigentum gegen deinen Willen wegnimmt, auch wenn er es dann ‘fuer dich’ einsetzt. Wohlwollende Raeuber sind immer noch Raeuber.
@GoodAsYoucloth @shawkisukkar @paulg
That force isn’t transitive applies to children, too. I don’t think you understand what force is, and I think you come up with ad-hoc reasons to reject my arguments.

Richtig. Wuerde ich gerne alles entweder selbst machen oder freiwillig Firmen damit beauftragen. Darf ich nur leider nicht.
@GoodAsYoucloth @shawkisukkar @paulg
No, force isn’t transitive like that. For example, someone can be in prison against his will while voluntarily learning a new language in the prison library.
Also, children learn language outside the home, too, so I don’t think that’s what you had in mind originally.
@a_nnaschneider @JanAlbrecht @welt
Ich wuerde an der Stelle mal einen Juristen fragen, ob die Unterstellungen der “[V]erfassungsfeindlich[keit]” und “Demokratiefeind[lichkeit]” nicht oeffentliche Verleumdung sind. Vielleicht sollte das @JanAlbrecht nicht so salopp von sich geben. Stichwort Rechtsstaat.
@sukramTM @a_nnaschneider @JanAlbrecht @welt
Altes Standardargument. Man kann es dem Individuum nicht anlasten, wenn ihm staatliche ‘Dienstleistungen’ aufgezwungen werden, schon gar nicht wenn diese unerwuenscht (und teilweise auch unvermeidbar) sind.
@GoodAsYoucloth @shawkisukkar @paulg
Yes, that’s another example of force.
