This post specifically says you can't (without the bypass many won't understand how to do).

I'm sure this has been solved already but I'm just wondering how you ensure people are voting based on the helpfulness and/or merit of the response. That's the ideal on Lemmy but it's obviously not always the case here. Presumably, you'd have to be logged in on the other platform to vote but you can just see the discussion from Lemmy, I guess?

Useful constraints would focus discussion to keep questions/replies brief, relevant, and hopefully helpful, wouldn't they? I just wonder how up and downvoting would work since that would go very differently from Lemmy.

It doesn't. Graeber was an anthropologist and Wengrow is an archaeologist. It's a review of existing evidence from past civilizations (the diversity of which most people are hugely ignorant about), making the case the most common representations of "civilization" and "progress" are severely limited, probably to a detrimental extent since we often can only base our conceptions of what is possible on what we know.

That's highly subjective, but the fascinating book The Dawn of Everything argues otherwise. There are even parts about the anthropological evidence some peoples just up and changed systems every so often (yes, non-violently). Our problem as people in the modern era is many can't imagine anything else, not that no one ever did.

Actually the history of why they think that is probably steeped in the horrors of how what little info they do have was obtained. Involuntary operations without anaesthetic on any women of colour and white mental health facility patients, graverobbing, you name it and it was probably done. Also, the decades of not including women as subjects in medical research even when it specifically applied to the female reproductive system didn't help.

The "desk" appears to be random limbs of other humans. Also, it looks like her game then is somehow taking place in a kitchen that's on its side?

They probably mean grammar, since most Google operators do work. If there's a specific difference in search syntax (other than bangs) though, I'd love to know what I've been missing.

If you connect to the wrong tower, can't they get IMEI info? That won't include OS, but it will give phone model/mfr and other details. I remember reading about regional police forces or intelligence agencies gathering data in North America at least (and they were explicitly gathering personal & usage data too, to see if they could find criminals supposedly).

I've long made comparisons and purchase decisions by the unit price. This kind of thing can blindside me when ordering online though, if it's a product I get regularly and I don't happen to catch the change. Hopefully they won't try to keep the picture the same, but I know in the past they've lagged on updating them for packaging changes that didn't affect the product so they can probably get away with that easily in this case as well. :/

Can't they do the usual and place blame for all the pain on the party in power?

If they were just verbally protesting their presence and not committing assaulting I'd understand as there are legit reasons for Jewish people not to like Christian Zionism.... but the Israeli state finds them politically convenient I guess, so of course they let it fly. 🙄
