Huh.  Could you try copy-pasting the spoiler block I have below and see how it comes out for you?  It looks like somehow you've ended up with quote blocks instead of spoiler blocks.  If this doesn't work, we can go harass LW tech people :P

I see this text as being inside a black spoiler block

And this text too.

If you copy-paste this, does it paste for you as a spoiler?

It looks like your spoiler didn't come out quite right, could you try to edit it?

There are ten silver pieces to a gold piece.  I'll edit that into the doc.

The phrase "Robbers don't need to rob people" is generally accurate.

But saying "Robbers don't need to rob people," and writing a long argument in support of that, makes it seem like you might be confused about the thought processes of robbers.

To get the virtue of the Void you need to turn off the gacha game and go touch grass.  If you fail to achieve that, it is futile to protest that you acted with propriety.

Even if you accept that insects have value, helping insects right now is still quite questionable because it's a form of charity with zero long-term knock-on effects.

...to my confusion, not only do both of those look fine to me on mobile, the original post now also looks fine.

(Yes, I am on Android.)

On mobile I see no paragraph breaks, on PC I see them.  

Edited to add what it looks like on mobile:

If there's less abuse happening in homeschooling than in regular schooling, a policy of "let's impose burdens on homeschooling to crack down on abuse in homeschooling" without a similar crackdown on abuse in non-home-schooling does not decrease abuse.

You can see something similar with self-driving cars.  It is bad if a self-driving car crashes.  It would be good to do things that reduce that.  But if you get to a point where self-driving cars are safer than regular driving, and you continue to crack down on self-driving cars but not on regular driving, this is not good for safety overall.

Apropos of nothing in particular, do you think that abolishing the Dept. of Education would make things go better or worse?
