Huh, really? As a non-American, I've read someone else talk about how Columbine changed everything. What's your thoughts on how and when things changed?

Exactly. I apply this thinking to the whole artists vs art generators debacle. It's sad to see them so myopic, when in reality, it's not that lay people can be mediocre artists, is that mediocre artists can become true genius.
I myself can create some pretty pictures, sure. But I lack the knowledge to edit the imperfections, to generate more content without modifying the central piece, to portray exactly what I need.
Is just another tool. Regarding education, I wonder how many fearmongers where all about "memorizing and vomiting everything is soo outdated" and now fear ai. This sub is full of people that should stay on r/conspiracy.

Meanwhile in Spain pensioners are richer (or less poor) than the working population. I'd have it your way, honestly.

17yo if you are interested in. I'm not saying the concept didn't exist, just that it wasn't as hip as it is now. I don't really remember seeing vegan dishes at restaurants, just vegetarian ones.

I just see it as vegan being a too much of a foreign word in 2010 and after it became a wide known concept, lots of vegetarians actually realized they were vegans.

Fascinating read, thank you. I was really under the impression that shootings were a thing in the US since public schools, honestly. I can now better understand why the problem is so divisive.
I think you deserve more lines, but the only thing that comes to my head is that the sense of defeat on dealing with this issue is what has made me believe it was a thing since the 19th century.
