Fun fact, Weller trained with world-class mimes to do a very fluid, fast, bird-like robotic physical language for RoboCop.

Then he put on the suit for the first time, and couldn't move.

So they carved huge chunks of the suit out, and he could barely move.

So he had to work to come up with a new physical language that was more heavy, slow, deliberate, and tank-like.

Yes. *I* needed typing training to type efficiently and quickly. The fact that said training started with the Almena method rather than the classic "JJJ space FFF space JJJ space FFF space JFJ space FJF space JJF space FFJ space" method doesn't remove the requirement for training (and more importantly, practice and ongoing use.) https://www.almenatyping.com/

Science? Really? There's a lot of soft-brained, unscientific and technophilic pseudo-religion in the article.

Let's work with the argument's load-bearing phrase, "exploration is an intrinsic part of the human spirit."

There are so many things to criticise in that single statement of bias. Suffice it to say there's a good case to be made that "provincial domesticity and tribalism are prevalent inherited traits in humans", without emotional appeals to a "spirit" not in evidence.

That being said, the article DID make clear that there WAS a court order for him to disband the account, and even if he was using in all the right ways for all the right reasons, not-complying with a court order is extremely problematic.

Then her remedy is to go back to court and compel the target of the order, aka the ex-husband, to do as ordered, not to claim that a third party with no standing in the case is at fault.

If you and I contract that I will sell you may Ford Escape for five grand, and you give me five grand and I don't give you the keys, you don't go to Ford and ask them to make you a key. They will, correctly, say "....and what does this have to do with us?" when you wave the sale contract at them.
