Our modern school system cannot handle teaching kids Spanish. They take years of Spanish class and no point can any of them speak Spanish. I don't think they have what it takes to teach ancient Greek.

I don't even trust most high school teachers to properly understand it
We had the littlest bit of Bible reading in my high school long ago and I recall my teacher having quite the shallow understanding.

In my high school in a blue district of a blue state we read Genesis chapter one. The King James Bible was a major influence on the written English language and is suitable for study in an English class. Which I understand is different than mandating teaching exclusively Christian theology.

They had 22 shot .46 caliber rifles before the Constitution was written. Not full auto, but as semiautomatic as they could make it.

I read an article about midwives in Texas writing false birth documents for Mexican babies wrongly asserting that they were born in the US. The Obama administration let this slide. Trump did not and suddenly these people are screwed. Some grew up in the US and are not legal residents.
but no weight lifting, because it takes too much time, is a bourgeois scam, and sports are suspect as well.
He's doing the meme. "While you wasted your days in the gym in pursuit of vanity, I cultivated inner strength."
With the new order having introduced robots to replace the vast majority of female workers
Luxury straight patriarchal communism. Looking forward to the political compass memes.
I have shot an SKS a bit. Soft recoil, not heavy or awkward. That's a real WW2 semi auto carbine and it is amazing that this and the Congressional Republican baseball team shooting were not mass slaughters. I've been there fumbling with the stripper clip of rounds, but that's why you practice. These goobers don't and can't get the rifle to work. People who are suicide attacking their enemies but can't be bothered to practice a bit before hand. Perhaps range time is also a "bourgeois scam".

Trump was asked which bathrooms transwomen would need to use in Trump Tower. He said he didn't care. It is not obvious to me he is anti-trans. Unless you define it very broadly to the point that the typical American is "anti-trans" in some "they should be in women's combat sports or prisons" sense.

With this logic men should be allowed in the women's locker room. Those women are free to look away from my penis also. In what way is its mere presence wounding them? The only point of sex restricted spaces is to avoid this one situation. The social norm of private nude spaces for only one sex.

There's actually been incidents in which transwomen have their dicks out in women's locker rooms. Widely reported on if you are curious and wish to Google it. That obviously violates social norms.

The SCP memetic hazard comparison gets more apt at every turn. Looking forward to academics dosing themselves with amnesia gas after browsing /pol/. Or forcing inmates to shitpost and then killing them as a safety precaution.

This is writing with Chinese characters, so very much yes. Thousands of years ago a typical man was a farm laborer.

And the character for "woman" was originally a stick figure drawing of someone kneeling with their hands held together and head bowed. A symbol of submission.

There was one professor I had in college who would pounce if anyone said or wrote "traditional" or "tradition". Who's tradition and when specifically are we discussing?

If that's the law then much literature is hypothetically illegal. The book Game of Thrones, some Dune novels, etc, etc. Teens fucking is a somewhat popular literature trope.

Women are around 60% of college students in the US. So it makes sense that they have something like 60% of college debt.

I get ITAR rules could be easily violated. As simple as sending an email. I could do it right now. Lots of laws are that way. You could easily violate them and maybe possibly get in trouble if you are unlucky. I don't expect anything more from the government since they lack a panopicon able to catch me. As a practical matter there's not much they can do other than occasionally fining a company caught exporting these designs.
Every employer I have had takes it very seriously. Multiple times per year retraining strictly warning against doing anything involving South Sudan. So sure you could easily violate these rules, but these AI devs won't.
why only foreign nationals
This is standard ITAR and EAR rules. And yes, other countries could recruit people to build it there. Still illegal for me to in any manner transfer ITAR or EAR restricted designs to China or South Sudan. I can transfer it to any US person; by which they mean citizen, green card holder or asylumee.
In a better world there'd be some "clear, consistent, and logical rationale" standard bureaucracies are held to. Instead they just make up rules then change their minds and make up contrary rules. See the ATF for examples. Given laws creating bureaucracies and empowering them to make relevant rules, this is what we get.

"They're the same picture."
I kid a bit. But not very much. Died hair, pride flags on chat flairs and hung on a couple walls, way more transwomen than you'd think, ICE warnings on group chats. We got it all in my office building. I'm not an AI techbro but I work for a major tech company.

I did something similar with my first home. Thinking the housing market was overheated and there was a decent chance I'd end up selling it at a loss in order to move for work.
I was of course incredibly wrong.
I think auto-correct corrected away "Schelling point". But yeah, in the context of Westeros, they kind of have scheming points where all the back stabbers gathering together to betray each other.
