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.

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.

"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 trans

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.

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 microtransa

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.

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 arou

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

"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

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.

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 criti

"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?
