Yet, several states tried many times to make killing a slave for any reason an act of self defense because slaves were supposed to not have any such protection under the law.

They literally went to congress to make certain dialogue between a slave and a free person a crime. Their reasoning was a person owned should not be treated the same as a free person. In some places you could not do something as trivial as reading a news paper then talking to a slave about what you just read.

Right on with the slavery parallel. The goal of the slave owner is to define completely how the population perceives and interacts with the slave then make that accepted principle then law. They throughout history tried to label slavery as a victimless crime when in fact the entire population is damaged in so many ways.

I am wondering for example do they see themselves more as Vogons or more as the civilization which formerly populated Magrathea.

Well, If a president can order people to be arrested anywhere in the country for the sake of the border just because their skin and hair is too dark.... If another president's very discussion of the topic because his/her skin and hair is too dark causes the individuals carrying out the orders in the first case to cry "unconstitutional!" in the second case.... We already lost the argument over "who's data" a long time ago.

I remember reading the exact same headline about Go some time ago. Then some time before that C++...... Java as well.

Did Trump not take the time during that meeting to for some reason mention how unfair data center regulations were ? Am I mistaken?

That the more people use it the less it is worth?

I don't know about the fluff thing. Yes generative AI and chatbot for end users is bad application development at its worst. But haven't large shops been platform assisting/web assisting for decades? I look at the linux kernel and see prolific patchers that i think must be using some kind of automated assist and have been for a long time. Nobody's that smart.

yes but can you really and truly say that the main reason they first black president of the united states was elected was because he was black or mainly because he was a good choice? I myself find it much more likely the current president was elected just because he was white.

fair and good points. by that standard though every president is a war criminal. but this administration and its supporters democrat AND republican had long ranted a black person could not ever win the presidency. when then election approached there were comments from many in politics and media that he will not be ALLOWED to serve. when a black person was sworn in he spent two terms being threatened with impeachment for things he never did. while watching the current president commit those exact same violations, just about every one of the reasons they demanded the back person be removed from office, they dismissed with no complaint. so I have to say in some way a black president would be held to a higher standard?

and are actually willing to discuss the possibility of "indentured servitude", just discuss mind you....

another African American president is where this road leads hopefully.......

So the current administration has obviously read All of William Gibson's books?

by "others" I mean "anyone"'s ability to moderate and I guess see, to clarify the references in both posts. and I did not mention that any flagging action by the viewer or viewers was initiated to cause this assuming no action was requested. but thank you for your reply.
