Do you really think it's at that scale? I see that some adversity in life actually makes me better and some does not. It really depends on how hard it is to overcome each individual hurdle. Keeping with the analogy of hurdles. It&#x

You're right. Thanks for the link that's helpful. Looks like 3.x plans to be built on typescript but I'm not sure if this article is still relevant, I very recently started paying serious attention to Vue.js so I'm play

Have you done any work with Vue and Typescript? We're just starting out with Vue. But my understanding was that TypeScript is a first class citizen in the new version of Vue.

Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor de

I wonder what types of reactors they'll be building. I've recently heard of Thorium reactors (and I don't understand enough about them) but I'd love to see them start spinning up around the world to see if they actually

I've got a few people in my feed who just dump on the right no matter what. I've fact checked them a little bit. Again it's about a 2-1 for me fact checking my right leaning and left leaning friends (typically older). But

I would agree that this probably is a variable, but I wouldn't dismiss the effect of porn either.

I kinda went the opposite path to the same end result. In my 20s I watched almost no porn. This was kinda crazy to most people. When I did pick up the habit for a while after I had kids, I noticed a marked decline in my interest in puttin

Do you see the wealth inequality between you and the people in at Level 1 poverty as a moral issue and how do we as a society solve that? I pose this question because it's often overlooked how we might have wealth inequality in the USA

You are correct, my comment assumes more of a gender bias discussion from the OP then their words deserve. You are wrong in that my assertion about parenting and that the parent is the best fit to make that call. Their claim of "If I w

Are you a parent? I ask because I remember saying stuff like this before I had kids. I don't anymore. I've tried to learn not to judge others parenting but hey that's just me. No one, at least that I've seen. Is sayin

I grew up in a church. I know churches aren't perfect but man I miss that community. OK so I actually grew up in 2 churches, Mormon and Catholic on alternating weekends. A friend of mine suggested (also previously Mormon) that we cre

I am in no way shape or form advocating for restricting speech. I speaking strictly to whether or not he believes it. I believe he believes it. But it's impossible for me to know. I make no assertion other than that.

It is impossible to say what people do or don't believe, but I worked with a guy who would argue the earth was flat. His massive knowledge into the conspiracies and complete lack of knowledge about physics was a constant issue. Oh, we

> One of my problems with these platforms is that de-platforming someone can be argued to be a violation of free speech (there are valid counter arguments as well). Dude. Full sentence quotes please. I should have used a comma.

This is a good point. I think some people treat facebook and twitter as their main news source which is why I drew that correlation. The twitter blast out by politicians is a new thing, that hasn't really existed before from what I ca

I can see a way that the Mormon church goes down that path, but the proselytize is typically a one on one nature by going on a mission rather than billboards. It does happen I've seen Ads for the LDS Church before (you'll never s
