"Tolerance" is the overarching province-level buff/debuff mechanic. ToTF effectively says "this is what the tolerance value will be for a province will be set to if it's the state religion." The problem is more with "tolerance" not matching the huge basket of things it's trying to represent at once.

Just realized I haven't posted in the 6 months since I posted a juvenile red headed woopecker. this would probably seem more significant if there was more than one post between them ok

The reins of Cid, back in the hands of Cid.

Fifty thousand skibidis used to rizz here, I'm told

Hey man I don't really know how campaign finance works but can I have my $20 back. I get if you spent it, that's cool, but it's kinda bumming me out not knowing if you've still got it.

Alienation from the natural world and apathy towards what's happening "out there" is the fundamental challenge of environmental education and, grim as it is, the engine behind "in the weeds" conservation work comes down to public empathy driven by the suffering of our icons.

It's recursive. They're important because they're big & recognizable animals whose peril is easily understood. They're not Ambassadors for climate change education because of some innate property, it's because even a child can understand the cause&effect relationship of a baby bear on an ice floe.

That sounds great, go right ahead! Thank you!

As you note, there's also the issue of changing flags kind of going against the point of Unicode. The whole purpose is timeless intelligibility no matter the time of writing or retrieval. The meaning of volumes of online text written by Quebeckers would become illegible.

As is, there's no reason for any vendor to start using the Taliban's flag, and being the first is a bit politically loaded. Even if you do it, there's no reason for anyone else to follow suit so you, John Samsung, are just the guy that's weird about getting the Taliban flag in your patchnotes.

The only real example we have so far is Afghanistan, wherein every emoji vendor has yet to change from 🇦🇫 to the black & white Taliban flag. Unicode gives recommendations but not mandates, and vendors follow them only for mutual intelligibility between their platforms and others.

And no, that's not the reflection of its legs in the water. They really are that long! It's not called a "stilt" for no reason, now is it?
