An authoritarian government needs excuses too. China even claims to be a democratic country. North Korea even has the word Democratic in its name. "Protecting children" is a common excuse China uses. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very_erotic_very_violent is a famous example of them trying to justify internet censorship under the name of "protecting children".

Has anyone tried Marvin from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? "Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and they ask me these silly questions." Could be fun.

The starting date of World War II is still not universally agreed upon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II#Start_and_end_dat...).

New comment by luotuoshangdui in "Why can't HTML alone do includes?"

luotuoshangdui — Sat, 03 May 2025 16:32:22 +0000

HTML is a markup language, not a programming language. It's like asking why Markdown can't handle includes. Some Markdown editors support them (just like some server-side tools do for HTML), but not all.
