God no. I can't imagine a more horrific punishment than to be childless.

I wish we had more than the two we have, but my wife and I started late. My daughter (12) sometimes asks how many children she could realistically have... a good sign that she hasn't been tainted by whatever mental illness it is that the "childfree" people have.

Cats are people, people are morally obligated to not hurt other beings, the conclusion is plain and impossible to get wrong.

No, but you can convince them by being close enough to them that your distaste for their nonsense is palpable and constant.

That can't happen if you've chased them off though.

I have no idea what "greatest" means. It's a superlative word, but implies no meaningful measurement that can be tested and verified.

Also the word "believe" is problematic. "think" might be better. Or "hold the opinion".

Both of these points support the idea that you're asking about an emotional state, rather than a intellectual position. Basically you're asking "why do people like the place that they live and mindlessly cheer for it when sociologically appropriate moments for such displays become available". That's a question that answers itself, is it not?

This is simply untrue.

It's simply true. Perhaps you think you can do it, which means that everyone else can do it and easily. You are atypical.

For everyone else, this is effectively gone. Even for the people who'd hang out in r/piracy who can be counted on to be slightly more technically savvy, it's effectively gone. I know how to download your link (I even know how to find it without your help). I know what a 7z link is. I know or can find out what format those posts are in (json?). But I'll be damned if I can search through them to find anything useful or interesting, and I know even less than that about how to index them to make them easily searchable by anyone else.

They're dead. Dead and buried. In giant concrete containment vaults like some scragged nuclear reactor.

Aggressively asserting that I'm wrong isn't the same thing as making an intelligent argument.
