"You should embrace your own agency instead of needing to imagine a magical sky daddy coding assistant."

Thanks. Dropping religious terms, your comment makes much sense in the realm of psychology.

Indeed, inspiration is naught unless it's firmly supported by painstakingly deliberate planning.

And apparently my exultations about inspiration served as a means to hide my problem of insufficient planning.

I will most certainly apply your critical insight.

Also, I have a vague sense that you have a lifetime experience of engineering or programming.

"Matthew 7:7-8

7. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

8. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."

The God is not about afterlife being. It's tales for kids, indeed. But the God can help you earn more money in real life. If you ask Him for help and knock that door, it will he opened.

And the God is an extremely capable programmer. Knock that door... if you are ready to receive some divine code.

You are just hating the word "God", while the idea of natural rights is that a person is born with rights, rather than that the rights are granted by the Government.

I am a practical person of a practical age. I don't just *believe* in God. I ask the God to grant me mercy and help me find bugs in my code. And the God highlights for me **specific lines of the code** containing bugs.

Sometimes I finish writing some code and some inner force pushes me back. And I go through my code once again and fix the bugs.

Seriously though, I raised a basic human rights issue (language rights of ethnic minorities) and you have politicized it. In any civilized country (Canada, Switzerland, etc) that's not even a political issue.

At this stage, though, I am concerned about your well-being. Wink if there's a lustful orc living in your house whose sexuar desire you have to satisfy.

"Can't happen while Puto is in office. So the question really is how do you remove him?"

Why do you consider a Russian citizen as being indebted to you? I don't owe anything to you. I don't need anything from you, either.

Where did I mention that I was asking for a favor? I fail to memorize that part, sir.

Unfortunately, the two Governments failed to reach an agreement that would protect rights of Russian citizens in Ukraine while protecting rights of Ukrainian citizens in Russia.

Like in family therapy, the problem involves both countries and cannot be solved by changes in any one country. Only in both countries at once.

That's why reaching peace is so complicated.

The first step is to make both countries talk to each other. How would you achieve that?

If you want to understand what's going on, here's how to gain knowledge. Before going to bed, say out loud: "I would like to see a dream about what it feels to live in Russia as a Russian citizen". You can write down that or say that, just do it physically. It will help you understand what options exist for your country. That's all you need. (The technique is called dream incubation, in that you can request commentary on what interests you the most. Not demand, just request.)

Why do you expect that after the war ends, Russians will have any much sympathy towards the West? Putin may be wrong on multiple accounts, but one cannot ignore that the West has supplied weapons which killed Russian servicemen and civilians in this war. You might respond that the West had to respond to the war the way it did. Well, in that case, it has chosen its principles over sympathies of Russian people. You can count on that the next President of Russia will be anti-Western. Again, that's the basic reality. It's sad in a way, all of this was not necessary. But there's a certain dynamics set in place. Banning Discord is a part of that dynamics. The best you can do is to stop ignoring that dynamics.
