Not playing it, but AoC seems to have a lot of potential.

That’s unreasonable mate. Rebar is good and compute has always been cheaper if you stack more of it, to a point.

A compatible mono is dirt cheap anyway. Stop wasting electricity by running very legacy systems.

Gotta make some judgements for human lives/money at some point.

E.g. safety at you place of work. There is some middle ground between working naked at a steel smelter and covered in protective gear at your desk job. Some times people have differing opinions.

The mean value of a Russian life is rather low. So it may actually seem close to some.

Caring and prioritizing may be different. Having concrete numbers can enable decision makers to convince others.

Something being the right thing to do is not a convincing argument.

Because a diphthong is fine. Taking a already used character and assigning a new sound to it is going to make things hard.

Also I need you to argue not just from the English point of view, but all Latin alphabet using languages, in particular those with strict rules of pronunciation like German.

Ok, but x sounding like sh is not ok. We need to normalize spelling stuff like it’s pronounced. Otherwise every language is going to become like the English.

A measured response. This is good.
