Any and all escalation goes in this direction. It's not hard to see. Don't be a fool on purpose.

Isolation, better observation of the heavens, doubles as a rookery for sending and receiving grim tidings, proximity to the dungeons and/or tower prisoners in case you need a research spec-*ahem* volunteer.

And if you blow the place up running arcane experiments or attempting congress with demons, hopefully the damage is contained.

"Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information."

Yes, it is censorship. The what, why, how, shoulds, and coulds of it are irrelevant to the fact that it is censorship.

This attitude doesn't square with the dense bureaucracy, unavoidable surveillance, and complete monopoly on violence that modern nations hold. Especially in a place like Russia, where "organizing" is nearly impossible because opposition leaders have a bad habit of accidentally eating plutonium and nerve agents.

Internet Archive and Project Gutenberg come to mind. Wikipedia might be an encyclopedia, but those are the libraries.

At the end of the day, Wikipedia is just another source of "but I read it on the Internet!" Take it with a grain of salt.

You customize it before you download it. There are four different zeroes and only one looks like the O. See the other examples.

All those zero glyphs... is it getting hot in here??

Never seen that one with the negative-space slash. Is there a name for that?

You know... That seems like just about the most click-bait title possible. I'm leaving that one alone. Dismissive? Maybe, but some things really are better left dismissed. Tell the mods I'm sorry, I'll review the guidelines again, and I'll try to be more substantive in the future - just not for this on a Friday.
