I don't like code reviews. If need be I might try to bs my way (paychecks come quicker than permission to fire) into a coding job and those would be a showstopper.

A paternity test is harder to get right. If there's a difference in a DNA matching test, that eliminates the possibility. With a paternity test, you're just looking for similarity so there less ways to rule one out

Aren't poll workers entitled to national holidays off?

Election workers would have the day off too.

Of course it's inefficient, if it wasn't inefficient it wouldn't need subsidies. Better than nationalizing it or outsourcing our security to foreign actors.

I'm normally a free market type of guy, but national defense is an exception. Our capacity to produce semiconductors without depending on foreign entities is as vital to national security as our capacity for food production. No nation

He was a wrestler of some renown in his youth and his coach nicknamed him 'Platon,' after his size or big shoulders (depending on who's telling it). Winning arguments by flexing is apocryphal, as far as I know.

It's clearly speech. Were the content of their speech different, there would be no ban. Or is there some means of behaving where they could relay that message to their governmental twitter account without a block?

The service is running off their servers, so they get the final say in whether to present content to you at all. Don't cry foul when your account is terminated.

Exploiting is a weasel word. They're making the useful minerals useable, which benefits the public more than leaving them in the ground. The reservations get what they're entitled to, which is nothing.

I'm not the first person to own my hatchback, but I'm not going to consult the previous owner if I want to repaint it. Not incorporating indigenous decision making is a valid answer to the question of how to incorporate it.
