    Political affiliation is not a protected class. Being "a Christian" (whatever that means...) is a protected class - but where in the Bible did Moses or Jesus command people to use Gab, Parler - or even be "conservative&quot

    Question: where/how are the `mv` and `pr` functions defined? And how does this even compile when it's using `gets` without `#include <stdio.h>` ? I do see it's using the `implicit int` rule though.
