> It's more of a sense that people with patience and a kind of outcome oriented approach (over fixating on why something is done a certain way) will have an easier time unwinding the complexity. You hit the nail on the head.

By “experienced”, I meant deeply affected by. So yes. Look it up yourself.

I think the one row about resources still makes sense though. You didn’t even answer OP’s original question regarding it in your reply. All you did was state an opinion as a fact without providing any proof. At least, I attempted to do so.

https://sustainablereview.com/high-population-density-pros-a... There’s a Pros/Cons table where the first row almost seems like a paradox. A “pro” of a high population density is that you have access to resources.

Excuse me? Isn’t the stereotype (and possibly reality) that Irish women are full of moxie and maybe or maybe not respected for it depending on who cares? Like she experienced IRA bombings and you’re saying she’s supposed to be intimidated

It sounds like all you’ve done is install an ad blocker and complain. Why do you hold such extreme (or rare) views when you aren’t even proactively doing anything to fix your problems? It seems like virtual signaling.

> Styled Components is a library for React that moves CSS styles into the JS code. Thanks, I see. > Doesn't seem that far-fetched to me. The veracity of GP’s comment wasn’t my main concern.

You seem level-headed unlike GP with his extreme views on email capture forms. “Spam contact harvesting pollution for everyone else” “The only person that benefits from a waiting list is the owner” “Destructive pollution for the community”

“React-styled components”? What do you mean by this? You still use CSS rules and selectors to style React components. Also, maybe your coworker should up their interview game. Instead of asking “define this term” questions, maybe they shoul

Yes, and the police have bigger fish to fry as well. Your focus is still one-sided. That’s my point.

> but I don't think it was in need of material resources to win. The cops wasted resources on the failed raid that led to them being embarrassed. If your viewpoint is “material resources being wasted” is bad, then call out the side

“Merit-based” means many different things. Explain yourselves.

by bluepod4 3y ago
I understand. But things are never “purely” legal though.

I believe that GP would admit the child of billionaires. People who promote the meritocracy myth have an agenda and are sticking to it. Do you really think you can change GP’s mind with logic?

by bluepod4 3y ago
“Merit-based” is such a loaded term. What do you mean by that exactly? What are you envisioning? EDIT: Wow, a downvote. For this comment? Yikes! EDIT 2: Oh, I see. I was using the phrase “loaded term” incorrectly. I only meant that “merit-b
