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 actually causes a lot of harm.

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:

And on Bannon:

Bannon wasn't there for the whole presidency, but he still did damage. Miller is the reason why child separation became a thing.

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 some of the fallout of that.

"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 switched from Galaxy S8 to S20, and I transferred everything and had the new phone setup exactly like the old one, with all apps (that would allow it, LINE wouldn't) and even ringtones and text tones set how I had them in about 20 minutes.

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 companies, and many many more knowingly lying.

Of course they do, it's in their best interest to lie. To think that companies will only tell the truth "because it's in their best interest" is childish, and not at all historically accurate.

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 All of my friends who play games hate microtransactions and loot boxes. Some don't care if it's only cosmetic though.

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 it.

"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 awful implementation.

Perhaps I'll mess around with F# or something some time to see how I feel about it more.

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 latest and greatest bandwagon.

Angular is easy, and OOP is very easy to work with for business needs.

"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 their fibre lines and run it through computers for analysis?

"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.

"fact that I need to create all of these fake feeling types"

I feel the contrary to you. I want everything to be well defined in my application, especially if it's a server :)

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 over JS any day.

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

> I wish more would recognize the convenience of Amazon for the dystopia that it truly is and then act with their wallets

The show The Patriot Act covered this exact sentiment in a good segment on Amazon.

People fail to notice that many who are killed are innocent, and this actually creates more people willing to fight back.

It's a vicious cycle, and the murdering of innocent people only makes it worse.

"Free speech is not free of consequences"

This is absolutely true though? I fail to see your point.

You are free to say what you want, and other people are free to criticize you for it. If you don't support the right to criticize, you don't support free speech.

What rewardable ingroup opinion? What ingroup? Every single person with a head on their shoulders should be against white supremacism.

Your reply reads the same as every reply from a far right peron. Calling everything "virtue signalling" as if people can't care about each other.

I think OP's point was that the writing was never great, I'm not sure what Mcinness's relation to Vice would be now.

"Or unless you're just trying to crowbar in a signal of your virtue?"

What is the point of saying this?

White supremacists are bad, why do you take issue with someone saying that?

That's awful, and you should be careful with tenants stuff.

A lot of people on this site are cruel and callous.

In my High School I didn't learn Latin, but I did learn some wood and metal working, and also a little bit about engines.
