    So what, then? Disallow code that isn't deemed credible or professional by what metric? This whole thing is getting too political. I just want to write open-source software and let…

    If it has nothing to do with children, then why is it named the KIDS Act? Are we being bamboozled? And you are IN SUPPORT OF that? Am I taking crazy pills?

    You could make any flag out of non-vegan materials, sure. But that this flag was designed with the basis of cruelty (silk) makes it also conceptually non-vegan. What a great way to…

    Again, you are truly blessed. I've lived in multiple places (California) where the rent increases by the maximum allowed amount every year ($100-$200). None of your friends refer t…

    I don’t see how. Have you ever tried calling one of these lines in a suicide emergency? Things I’ve learned in California: - an ambulance will not be dispatched unless you physical…

    Not only drug costs. I’m being charged 1300$ for an STD test because my insurance company and my doctor can’t agree on a “code”. It’s totally fucked.

    I use maybe functions a lot for things like "maybeShowReminderDialog". The conditions for displaying the reminder are wrapped in this maybe function. Surely that's simpler than spe…

    Can you list some of those shops? I'm hard pressed to find one that isn't selling items that were drop-shipped to them from Aliexpress/baba and then marked up. It may not be direct…
