The missing Article 1 content has been restored.

Agreed. In other places that I’ve posted my CMS character-limit theory it was pointed out that footnotes are missing for those sections as well. I haven’t verified that personally.

Something interesting to note is that the trimmed version currently available is exactly 9,500 characters (I pasted into a text file and used "% cat article-1.txt | wc -m"). That's a very coincidentally even number of characters. Was this a dumb Content Management System (CMS) limitation?

6pm... got it! Wait - humans have these timezone thingies. Which one?!

The bartender says, “Beat it. We don’t like your kind. Go somewhere else, like Ken’s Pub.” “Fine!” they say, “we like Kennmore anyway!”

The bartender, who is also the innkeeper, says there’s no way he’ll start them a bar tab because they haven’t even paid their RENT!

The bartender says, “You can’t stay here. The 1985 Chicago Bears needs you!”

Bartender asks what they’ll have. They notice the profile of a woman at the bar. “I’ll get whatever my lovely lady wants.” She turns and it becomes clear she’s has been drinking heavily, has smeared her makeup, and is terribly disheveled. “Correction,” the broadway performers say, “my FAIR lady.”

This is fantastic!

… the bartender gets angry, retorts, “You promised you wouldn’t come here. That you wouldn’t speak to me ever again. No communication! The judge made you officially agree: NO COMMS. It was a comm pact!”

… and the bartender did refuse service.

With a soft “F”.

… and the bartender says “we don’t serve garbage trucks here. You’re already trashed!”

I appreciate the feedback - sincerely, this is an important discussion. What you're doing is likely protecting you and lessening the usefulness of your data to the business. My concern here is that engagement is still engagement, and ads viewed, active user counts boosted for shareholder reports.

While I’m very much on your page, I frustratingly have a host of close friends who won’t let go. Folks I consider intelligent, progressive… it’s odd. I’ve felt challenged on how to speak with them about it.

I wish people would do this with Meta and Amazon. Even among my most astute of friends, I see no finger lifted to stop any amount of use of these.
