Could be so, though it doesn't look like a site where the devs have a fixed time schedule. (Not that I know much about managing a website, just my impression.)

Nope. I actually tried using a proxy and it got rejected for that very reason (with a different message), whereas two normal IPs had the problem described in OP.

My suspicion was correct, I can't figure it out.

I know, as I've said, I've sent them an email through that form two days ago but have still gotten no response.

Admittedly the Chinese weren't lacking in ambition.

The Kamala promotion online is becoming increasingly disturbing.

[–] antonim 3 points 1 year ago

No, I have no idea what that is and I suspect I won't be able to figure it out, but I can give it a try.

Absolutely the correct stance, nothing dirty about it. At this point, for better and for worse, the Internet is a basic necessity. Imagine having your water turned off because you threw water balloons at your neighbour.

every post war consensus policy in regards to collectivizing power from the wealthy and redistributing to everyone else

Am I reading this pretentious word salad right? Is this guy saying that communism has been the political consensus in the US since the fucking WW2?

And by god is he trying to show off he has read two or three books in his life with that vocabulary.

Niemcy and Nemetorszag both stem from old slavic “nem” (or something similar) meaning “mute”.

More precisely, the first one is from Proto-Slavic root *něm- ("mute") and suffix *-ьcь ("person with that characteristic"); ě was not quite the same sound as e, so linguists mark it with the haček, just as it is marked in Czech to this day. In modern languages the nationality is called: Ru. nemec, Pol. Niemiec, Cro. Nijemac... But the country itself is called Ru. Germanija (from Latin), Pol. Niemcy (literally plural "Germans"), Cro. Njemačka (actually a feminine adjective, taken from the syntagm "Njemačka zemlja" = "German land").

The Hungarian name is a combination of the Slavic loaned *němьcь > "német" ("German") and "ország" ("land"): Németország.

True. It takes this sort of effort to build a good database with users' input, and plenty of patience. And Bookwyrm does seem to deserve that effort, unlike... some of the competition.
