Backup ASAP as thoroughly possible and accept you'll probably need to start over. Schedule backups more often in the future as a lesson learned.

Add time tracking for time tracking with every other task.

I'm guessing a language that the device doesn't have a proper font for.

To be fair, it's kind of funny how humans can basically trust in a deity they've never seen and really just trust other humans who claim to know the truth because they learned it from other humans who also basically just said "trust me, bro." The AI here is just imitating human speech, so it's more a reflection of humans.

Hey, it was a highly accurate, academically astute, peer-reviewed depiction of a scripted comedy scene!

That's a false dilemma. You can oppose all imperialism at the same time regardless of who is pursuing it. Justice and freedom isn't a team sport. You don't have to take the side of any major power.

"The bigger kid is the only obstacle to peace on the playground. If the bigger kid would just let the bully get away with bullying the littler kids, then everything would be fine. The bigger kid is only helping the little kid stand up to the bully in order to hurt the bully."

Yeah, the US didn't invade Ukraine. Russian presence and Russian attacks are the only obstacle to peace in this situation.

Simp for imperialism somewhere else, tovarish.

Anticolonialist is a weird username for someone simping for Russian colonialism in sovereign territory.

They're feral, not wild. Wild cats (servals e.g.) live in wild areas of places like sub-Saharan Africa. You're referring to feral domesticated cats. They're out there because they've escaped or been released and continued to breed or were raised semi-feral like barn cats. We as a society are responsible for them.

It's also possible to be a person who genuinely cares about classic art and the environment already. And it's also possible to be a poor person with little to no power to influence the fossil fuel industry. Chiding people for not having the privilege of free time and minimal obligations to protest isn't very productive. Again, change needs to happen at the top and it's not going to be achieved through appeals to emotion or coercion via symbolic or actual threats to famous art or sites.

I will not be fair, the publication isn't. Why should I?

Because arguing dishonestly makes you look irrational and does their propaganda work for them.

but you are more likely to try to distance yourself from fossil fuel reform movements, and that's all they need you to do to be successful.

Not really. This isn't an effective form of protest or reform. Stunts like this allow articles like this to be written in the first place, but the stunts, even if written of with the highest of praise, are useless. Effective action would involve changing the minds of those who profit from fossil fuels the most and making it unprofitable for them to continue. You don't need to convince people who care about world heritage sites or famous artwork. You need to convince the profiteers of industry and that won't come from an appeal to emotion but from a threat to their financial well-being.

To be fair, that's a false dilemma. Caring about Stonehenge doesn't have to be compared to caring about fossil fuel reform. You can care about both or neither to any degree and they can be completely unrelated.
