    I grew up watching The Rock. As an adult, it's hard to look past the persona he shows when talking about anything on any medium.

    I'm a little confused here and I'm sure I'm missing the point. This article seems to argue (and some comments here) that being rude should be normal? Why? Why wouldn't we be nice t…

    Very interesting story. Quitting social media is something I've thought countless times. But after reading this I can't help but think what if this comment is a psy-op operation. V…

    Thinking out loud what I've thought for awhile. The Supreme Court is an unelected political entity. Can this be fixed?

    Completely agree. Though I can see a future where gaming gives it "competition" in this area. Especially with esports on the rise. Multi million dollar prizes and loyalties forming…

    Very good comparison and similarities can be drawn between the target audience. Unfortunately gaming sees deaths too with swatting and what not

    Seriously. I can't think of any other group but not really looking that hard. And I love the medium. It's my go-to hobby. And like many here, I got into programming because I wante…

    Interesting rant/mind dump. I tend to agree. I'd like to know the moment we decided yaml should be a programming language. Projects like opsmops and pulumi seems to be headed in th…
