Via journalist Ahmed Baba:

#Trump’s authoritarian dehumanization of migrants isn’t just being used as a campaign tactic. Trump is trying to lay the groundwork for the absolute depravity he plans to unleash on migrants if he wins re-election.

Dehumanizing rhetoric always preludes dehumanizing policy:

"They're not humans. They're animals ... I'll use the word 'animal,' because that's what they are" -- Trump

...it is not only about migrants either.
Wait until African Americans, Indigenous and People of Color are finally realizing, that after 248 years we are STILL not really meant by the US constitution's first three words: "We the people"!

Take a look at how the U.S. “transition” to Clean Green Energy is going...

Hihi and then people keep saying that the Democrats are the "lesser evil", when capitalist evil is all they ALL are - right like the Republicans.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi claims no U.S. weapons have been used to carry our Israeli atrocities in Gaza since October 7, but the evidence proves otherwise.

Latest since Bush, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Dick Cheney etc, have all not been prosecuted for all their lies that cost millions of lives, the world knows exactly how trustworthy any US leaders and politicians are!

I'm looking for a FUN activity, or test question about Java classes, class methods, OOP.

If you can think of something memorable you did in a class or for fun that taught you something about Java classes I'd love suggestions.

I'm finding all the examples dry and boring. "The student class is a subclass of the people class"

Any suggestions?

Java ≠ fun

OK now there is a thought.
Fractals are fun in any language that can handle complex recursion without memory leaks.
... oh, I forgot you want to use Java. 😉

    Same sex marriage has been legal. What exactly has happened? Where are the horror stories of cats and dogs living together and mass hysteria?

    As people try to undo this popular change ... where is the evidence of harm or tumult? They don't even attempt to make such a case because it's so futile.

    That alone should end the misguided quest to tear families apart.

    I hope @Flannel_Bear is not joking, as the Christian Father Mother Child core Family is a very outdated concept. Because to raise children it ALWAYS takes "a village...!"

    I am curious @futurebird do you really think that @Flannel_Bear's thought: "things like racism, transphobia, homophobia, misogyny, etc [...] are structurally imposed on us by our society's class structure" is "simple"?

    Most people believe and see -Isms like Racism, Sexism, etc as problems created, held up by individuals and to be a problem between individuals, that would intrinsically be amplified by groups of individuals like the proverbial village.

    Where I'm living I'm surrounded by many colonies of Oecophylla smaragdina Weaver Ants.
    They are the most amazing ants I have ever come across. Their eyesight is very good and they have a quite intelligent behavior.

    But even more fascinating I find a specific type of jumping spider Myrmaplata plataleoides, which is mimicking Weaver ants so well, looks and movement even down to the "feeler"tapping communication, that one barely can see any difference between the two species.

    Too bad that the mobile photo above is not in focus, but this little spider is quite jumpy and just doesn't sit still.

    It is a male and has enlarged fangs. the female Myrmaplata plataleoides (WikiMedia picture below) look even more similar to the Oecophylla smaragdina
