Ukraine is slowly losing land. Russia is slowly winning land. Both are quickly losing people.

Why not cut human loss? Ukraine, with neutral parties assisting them, could calculate what land they will likely lose. They then hand some of that land over as a ceasefire sweetener. That land would have changed hands anyway, but now both sides save lives.

Once the fury of war dissipates, better sense takes hold on both sides, and the war ends.

I think you think you're clever, but a) understand that your justification ("they're awful for lots of reasons") would have in other times and places been the same justification other people could have used against groups like homosexuals, and b) I rather suspect you fling the term Nazi or fascist around at nearly anyone who disagrees with your politics, which then just makes the term a crutch for you to dismiss and/justify whatever things YOU want to think or say about them. Or do, like "banning them as a political party".

I think in broad strokes, infidelity is bad, but when it comes to a specific case, I'd say nobody is in a position to judge without much more context.

Well, at any rate, infidelity is the only real broad societal issue that features here in this story.

I don't think there has ever (2025? 1925? 1625?) been much expectation of privacy, when canoodling amongst a crowd of thousands ...

So; much hand-wringing that we "use that tech to make those we feel have violated the social contract pay publicly for their transgressions".

There is already zero legal penalty for violating one of the most core of the contracts we can enter into as a human. So what do you suggest now? That the guilty forget how to blush? That the rest of us refuse to recognise irony when we see it?

I actually admire the woman for visibly retaining the instinct of shame. She, for one, has not forgotten how to blush. The guy, I don't know.
