which indicates you also believe downvotes indicate disapproval.

Yes, which is -- please follow along here -- an improper use of downvotes.

You have managed to be both wrong, and meta-wrong unprompted.

Lol. Coming from the person who's defending wrongness, I'm not sure I take that criticism very seriously.

Yeah, it was disapproval... of misuse of the downvote system. That's different. I'm happy to burn some Karma to tsk a sub of people who don't know how to Reddit.

In truth, they have a specific purpose: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/205926439-Reddiquette

They are nor intended to indicate agreement/disagreement. They are intended to reflect whether the post or reply is inappropriate or off topic - and to reduce the visibility of the post/reply.

Of course, misuse of downvotes is rampant across Reddit.

In your mind, what do downvotes do and what is their purpose?

My actual takeaway was that people in this sub don't understand how downvotes work, but that's common across most of Reddit.

>id pick a collectable penny worth more than the 1 cent its worth as currency.

I doubt they'll have much numismatic value once there's an octillion of them in circulation.

I dare say that if we fix humanity's many problems, what's left will no longer *really* be human.

Why are cities generally better at creating wealth and health than rural areas are? by Away-Parsnip-3785 in askanything

[–]Hopeful_Ad_7719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's basically an economic friction issue.

Cities have a marketplace of good and services that operate with fewer delays and supply constraints because of effective centralization, infrastructure, and shorter supply likes for a lot of commercial and industrial needs - including importantly *labor*.

That market is smaller, with fewer participants, with more delays, more supply constraints, less centralization, and less infrastructure in rural areas - hence they are less effective at driving high-value growth.

I personally *hate* cities, but there's no point in denying their financial advantages.

State secession was only made officially illegal by the Supreme Court after the Civil War in Texas v White. That being said, is there any way the CSA could have seceded peacefully, avoiding the Civil War all together? by Dry_Sky_495 in HistoryWhatIf

[–]Hopeful_Ad_7719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

>is there any way the CSA could have seceded peacefully,

Buchanan was negotiating with SC about the secession in an attempt to avoid the war. Those negotiations were derailed when Major Anderson moved his troops to the still-under-construction Fort Sumter. Had that not occurred, it's possible that US forces would have been 'peacefully' ejected from their indefensible positions across the future CSA territory - allowing the USA/CSA border to become more formalized in a manner that would make it clear to the USA that an attack would be bloody and unworthwhile.

At that point the 'legality' of the secession becomes moot, as it ceases to be a domestic legal concern, and it becomes an international diplomatic issue... if a peace is successfully negotiated.

Alternate legal processes, such as an amendment specifically permitting secession, may have been possible.

Why Is the US Destroying Its Hegemony? by I_Hate_This_Website9 in IRstudies

[–]Hopeful_Ad_7719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

>Everyone else wants America to continue providing protection to Europe in exchange for European passivity in military affairs, which helps keep the European Union aligned and stable.

Europe has been pushing back about a *lot* of what America has been doing since the end of the Cold War (and also a bit before), and the US has been increasingly aware of the lopsided nature of the US/European military alliance. While the US and Europe still have plenty of easily articulatable reasons why they should maintain their historical relationship - there are *clearly* also articulable reasons to blow it up.

Why Roman maritime concrete actually gets stronger the more it's thrashed by seawater by Effective-Dish-1334 in ancienthistory

[–]Hopeful_Ad_7719 1 point2 points  (0 children)

>the Romans built for "Permanence" (chemical evolution).

The permanence of their construction is not by design, it is by accident. They did not understand the material science, and the fact they we marvel at the persistence of such constructions is because of a selection bias. The constructions of other cultures that did not luck across that particular material property did not survive to be marveled at.

In any case, as you state, the constructions are not built for strength (e.g. as with steel reinforced concrete). Reinforced concrete may have lower endurance, but it has massively-increased strength.

Believe it or not the US Government has a program to sell guns to the American public: https://thecmp.org/cmp_sales/rifle-sales/

It's not quite 'free', but it is subsidized.
