To be fair, there were a few years between when thee country was founded and five years ago.
The real answer is whichever is easiest. If you’ve got a master branch and it’s a pain to switch, then I wouldn’t do it. If you’ve got a badass coder who is disturbed by the terminology, then I’d say to do it to keep the peace. It depends on the situation.

You know that thing you do, where you write some code and then realize you need a main function to execute it? And then you write your main function, but it’s not really your main function, it’s a bunch of half commented test code to make sure that the important code works?
Do that in a unit test, and when you’re done testing that particular piece, add some assertions and move on to the next piece of functionality. Boom, test driven development.

I hate to throw out this old chestnut, but “correlation does not equal causation.” Just because religion existed in one form or another in almost every single culture, does not mean it’s necessary for morality. As I mentioned previously, lots of social structures existed in early societies that had things to say about morality. That doesn’t mean they were necessary precursors.
Depending on where you get the AK, the only difference between the prop and the real on might be a bolt lol Chinese AKs are mostly plastic, I think.

For anyone that wants to know, the movie that the top image is taken from is Lord Of War, and the person shaped shadow in the background is Nicholas Cage. Leto plays his coke head brother.

“Without the precursor of gender roles, there can be no morality.”
“Without the precursor of tradition there can be no morality.”
“Without the precursor of >insert social structure< there can be no morality.”
Some of our social structures have things to say about morality. Sometimes they’re saying"love your neighbor as yourself," and sometimes they’re saying “burn that city to the ground and keep all of the preteen girls as sex slaves.” Just because religion and spirituality have things to say about morality doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re worth listening too, and it doesn’t mean we couldn’t have developed a system of morality in their absence.
Without religion and spirituality, we may have developed a better, more universal system of morality, rather than the patchwork of haphazard and contradictory traditions we currently enjoy. We’ll never know, because religion was created early in our history, and for the rest of eternity, we get to listen to asinine armchair theologians tell us “without religion, there would be no real morality.”
I knew this one, but way too many times, I don’t. People like you are awesome, and I appreciate the service.
Media targeted at a large audience tends to dumb moral and philosophical conundrums down to the simplest possible gesture instead of taking the ideas seriously.
The next verse works as-is:
Mama, life had just begun
But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh, didn’t mean to make you cry
If I’m not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters

Second that. I Am A Strange Loop is a fantastic book on consciousness.
