I dunno. A shadow-ban normally is retroactive, but I actually don't know the policy on plain bans from most places. I know that here it would be a huge technical challenge to delete everything a user created, but lemmy is very different from most platforms.

You know that Mercantilism is the name of the policies the European countries had to trade with each other, right?

If you wanted to talk about overseas imperialism, also no, its first business was buying natural resources. Its second business was stealing natural resources. It only started trading people after there wasn't easy stuff to take away anymore.

Slave trading is way older than mercantilism.

There are several possible values for cloud covering extent. Forecasts usually have either 4 or 8 of them.

(And yeah, thinking about it, 8 different values is pure madness.)

Who would build machinery that way?! Think of all the ethics academics jobs it would destroy!
