Some paywalls leak so notoriously that they hardly are worth mentioning, eh?

What “paywalls” am I too dumb to understand?

eh. Some paywalls leak into reader mode. Some leak into the sourcecode view. Some will kick you out if you use incognito modes. It’s a pain in the ass keeping track of all the adversarial methods, and sometimes I think a “phonebook” listing of all the ways in would be useful. And no-one’s faulted for not memorizing a phonebook. I wasn’t trying to imply lack of skill, I just was trying to mention the way in.

I still failed. Again. always. failing.

Thanks, this is very useful. (Newer versions of Chrome don’t have reader mode, you need to install an extension. I think Firefox still has it.)

Did you post this ironically? Because my response to @74hc595 was none of the above. It was a reasoned response to the assertion that the EU should fail. A subsequent post showed my reasoning, with citations, as to why failure of the EU would be catastrophic for Europe, and pretty bad for the rest of the world, too.
Which makes your accusation, Latin or no, non sequitur, reductio ad absurdum itself.
If that was intentional irony, then I applaud you, sir! If not, well, arrivaderci?

If you put it that way, it sounds perfectly reasonable, however, it’s miles away from your original
which sounded very personal.
This not a courtroom nor any sophomore debate team.
There is not judge nor ORLY textbook to point to here. So let us consider this argumentum ad verecundiam booooooooring and dusted.

Is sci-hub blocked for you?
Honestly I sometimes use it for things I have access to because it’s handier and I don’t have to remember if and how I have access.

I don’t think @DukeTrout is assuming that you will personally cause a war in Europe, just that the end of the EU would likely mean a return to more open conflict in Europe…

Well, that’s wonderful, then!
I’d say that your response was like that Archer meme: “Do you want continent-shredding war every 15-20 years? Because that’s how you get continent-shredding war.” 
I don’t take that personally at all, and it is a good argument for EU, especially what you said about Balkans.

& @74hc595
While I’m a big believer in the burden of communication being on that of the communicator (in this case, me), I still can’t see how what I wrote could be taken personally. It’s literally right there in the EU mission statement, charter, and founding documents that one of their main purposes is to end the centuries-long cycle of war in Europe. Since it isn’t reasonable to expect that I was implying that @74hc595 would be personally responsible for starting a war, then the conclusion that I was heaping scorn on them, rather than on the anti-EU movement in general, seems a reach.
And with that you give me more credit than I deserve.

“E” for effort.
Keep trying, you’ll get the hang of this whole gif thing before you know it!
