There are two entities that constantly and consistently stomp all over human rights and sovereignty - governments and corporations. It also seems that most people are comfortable with asking them to increase the amount of control they have over our collective affairs.

It's quite the thing.

Because Biden is, in reality, no different from his republican counterparts. Nor has he ever been.

Like, a government? Mine is too busy squabbling about gender identity and whether Pelosi should have her office back or not.

Aren't we still trying to understand where the training data for all of these AI models was sourced from? If it was data that was used without permission, wouldn't that be considered some form of IP theft and potentially plagiarism?

I fail to really see the nuance here. The news is hot garbage though, I agree with that. I however would make the assertion that greed and $$$ are the reasons the news has turned into hot poop rather than AI or plagiarism.

Wars since the age of Napoleon have been caused by bankers, not maps. Let's be real.

An armed citizenry has acted as a deterrent to tyrannical governments and nation states for as long as the two have co-existed. I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make here.

And no, "we" don't get to consider who has lawful or rightful access to firearms - unless you got to vote for the last class of police cadets at your local precinct.

Where did I say any of that? I simply stated that many of the people who would like to restrict private citizens' access to firearms are the same people who complain about the brutalization of vulnerable groups by police. I never said it was a rule nor that exceptions did not exist.

Without defining sensible gun control and pragmatic measures, I'm not sure that statement is agreeable.

You could have had a safe space in your high school cafeteria, or anywhere you wanted, to play MTG or whatever other nerdy game. A person is responsible for creating their own safe space - one cannot control other people, but one can control themselves and their reactions to others and what they say. We were all intrinsically blessed with the gift of free will as humans, which allows us to decide how certain things, like the words of another, will affect us. We weren't intrinsically blessed with safe spaces.

And yet people still want to eliminate the right for private citizens to carry semi-automatic firearms! Generally, it's the the same people complaining that complain about police abusing their powers and vulnerable groups of people.

"Governments everywhere are more conservative than ever" - do you have any sources / citations to back this up?

"There is literally no legal force behind any woke policies" - Politicians in Michigan have been attempting to pass a law to make harassing someone by misgendering them a felony.

There are plenty of laws and policies protecting groups of people that have nothing to do with "structural racist shit". If you're looking for racism everywhere and in everything, you're probably going to find it. I find that people who focus on race and class constantly, also end up exhibiting the most racist and classist views and behaviors.

MiniFB and SDL2 are both libraries, just FYI.
