Is it fair to criticize people for being gay too? I just don't see the points of these arguments. Thought people on this site "loved discussion". Nope. They love hearing their own …

I don't see the need to say anything negative about trans people, it feels very similar to anti-gay rhetoric and talking points of the past. It's not contributing or helping, and a…

It was actually the Child Separation policy enacted by Trumps government that was meant to deter immigration. You're the only one operating on bad faith here.

I thought it was common knowledge by now? Stephen Miller and Stephen Bannon. Here's some info on Miller: https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2019/11/12/stephen-mille... https://www…

This site is way too fickle

Yes, it's long been known that it was a lie and excuse, it's sad that people on this site somehow aren't aware of this. Trump had two neo-nazis in his administration, this is just …

"Can someone explain why OP is being downvoted?" Probably for implying that Trump wasn't that bad, when he clearly was.

So you don't use a monitor either?

"When switching phones it's still a process of hours / days to get everything set-up the way you had it on a previous phone" From my experience this is completely false. I just swi…

I don't know what world you've experienced, but lying in business is incredibly common. I've seen it personally, and there are plenty of cases of Tobacco companies, DOW, Alcohol co…

And the companies don't spread misinformation? Not saying it's right in either case but companies, Tesla included aren't shining beacons of morality and truthfulness.

What's wrong with short selling? The only reason why people like Elon Musk don't like short selling is because they know that their companies are massively overvalued.

"Either way, singling out mobile games like the text in Godot's documentation did is a mistake." You're right, console and desktop games that do that are also a problem.

That isn't a clear cut answer to the game being played, they can play it and not be happy with some of the games practices, we really don't know unless a study is done. Anecdotally…

Just because something was done historically doesn't make it right or correct.

What happened at the Capitol was way past the point of simple protesting. It's unfortunately people who have been sucked into a cult. They reject reality and got violent because of…

"You know this is already being politicized" "I also have a problem waiting months for a slow inefficient government agency to figure out how to cover their collective asses"

Right, I don't know much about React myself, but that must be why Redux was created right?

I suppose so, I've seen that myself. I always take the time to design anything I do thoroughly though so it's all clear and concise. Also the only time I used FP it was a seemingly…

I don't understand why so many devs seem to want to use Functional programming. It's the exact same thing to me as what this article is complaining about. Everyone jumping on the l…

"Optical networks like you listed are pretty dumb so aren't nearly as much of a threat" They can be tapped into still, of course. Doesn't GCHQ copy all the data coming through thei…

"I don't want to compile languages that don't need compilation" Well it's a transpilation, not a compilation, and you are able to run .ts files in dev mode without transpilation. "…

I disagree. I really don't find Typescript hard to use at all, and I've preferred the security and well defined variables and functions that Typescript provides. I would use TS ove…

QAnon is a fascist movement and has spread like wildfire through websites like Facebook. I know people in other countries who believe it.
