It was placed in the US to get the US to stay as a member. None of the big and powerful countries care for UN all that much but them leaving could’ve just been another League of Nations fiasco. Or that was the thinking behind it, iirc.

I keep linking..?
An atypical example of something is still a “true” example of the thing, especially given that the very term derives its origin from Stonehenge itself.
I think the article is a bit confused in both defining the “henge” and saying if it is a henge or not. It sets a definition that Stonehenge doesn’t follow, calls it “atypical”, says it’s not “true” henge (whatever that means) and so on. And all of those seem to be not directly sourced. One of the sources makes the confusion even worse:
Ironically, even though Stonehenge has an earthwork circle around it (the earliest phase of the monument), it isn’t officially a ‘proper’ henge, as the main ditch is external to the main bank. It has to make do with being a ‘proto-henge’.
I guess in this use it a “proper” ("true”?) henge is a henge and “proto-henge” is not a henge but a thing that precedes them. That’d explain some of the confusion. Could also be that “proto-henge” is counted as a form of a henge, but I’m not sure. Other examples seem to consider it preceding actual henges.
It would help if there was one definition for henge but there seems to be some that define it like in the article, with the ditch inside and others that just include a ditch.
especially given that the very term derives its origin from Stonehenge itself.
Terms can change over time, it could be the definiton of “henge” has changed.

Oh damn you had already mentioned this!

Something I learned from QI
Stonehenge is not a true henge, as its ditch runs outside its bank, although there is a small extant external bank as well.

The US has said something about being in control, so they might actually invade or do some further stuff to push their candidates

Casual discussion communities and political discussion ones seem like they’d fit better. But the rules also allow for venting so you’re fine

Could be that opposition candidate or the stand-in, that seems like who the US wants to put in that position

Me putting a Christmas hat on my mouse isn’t going to do much. Same people upset with that have probably been gaming for hours now with their GPUs hot lol. It just feels a bit performative

Hah, some people are a bit ridiculous about it. It’s just a cute small Christmas hat and whatnot. Made for a very cute Christmas card

I used AI to put a Christmas background to a photo and a Christmas hat on a mouse. ChatGPT did weird alterations to the photo even when told not to, Google’s AI did great job though and I got a fun Christmas card photo out of it.
Some tasks it does well, others not.

You said it was undefined and that’s right. There’s just no one singular definition that is generally agreed upon. But same sort of characteristics are in them, being more selective than normal in eating

I mean it’s usually kids who are really picky eaters and many grow out of it. If they grow out of it that probably has happened by the time they’re 23
