Could you please stop creating accounts for every few comments you post? We ban accounts that do that. This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html . HN is a community. Users needn't use their real name, but do need some identity for others to relate to. Otherwise we may as well have no usernames and no community, and that would be a different kind of forum. https://hn.algolia.com/…

Stop shadow banning them and I’ll stop creating them. I keep noticing from other browsers that comments never show up so I start over. Also apparently my home IP is on some list and so I hop on LTE. Your own enforcement efforts seem to at least partly responsible for pushing me into this behavior.

Mine did, yes. Grew up in rural Midwest US in the 80s. We walked in lines on a schedule for bio breaks. We had to “shut a door respectfully” basically library rules for the sake of others. Our school had 25-30 kids per class. How else does one manage that? If you really needed to go you could and this article does not say that’s explicitly disallowed.

Our school had 25-30 kids per class. How else does one manage that? Dunno. The teachers (nuns, priests, and monks) in my East Coast elementary school had 30-45 students per class, and somehow we didn't run amok. (Yes, 45 was not an uncommon number. When your performance in class is publicly ranked weekly you become acutely aware of how many students are in the class.)

The White Sea & Baltic Canal was dug by hand by Gulag prisoners. You can't be serious? [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulag#Conditions

We have hard labor. That's why the 13th amendment makes an exemption to the ban on slavery for prisoners. In the gulags that effort was at least spent on public works projects, here it's to make rich people slightly richer with next to free labor.

The Chinese government must have done a truly terrible job these last few decades, if they have so many radicals. One wonders why people tolerate such abysmal leadership.

These are families with heads of households did things like train with the Taliban across the border.

But you chose to only select a portion of the text. The second sentence is useful, too: "Implement behavioural norms and discipline requirements for getting up, roll call, washing, going to the toilet, organising and housekeeping, eating, studying, sleeping, closing the door and so forth" My school was like that when I was growing up. Your school proscribed when you go to the toilet and how to close a door?
