I'm Christian, and I believe in evolution, the big bang, old earth.. They're not contradictory. There are actually a lot of Christians who believe in those things. CS Lewis believed in an old earth while also believing in God. I u

We have no idea where those come from either.

You're operating off of the false assumption that evolution contradicts the existence of a God.

Well maybe some of us need to fix our attitudes a little more.

While we do incarcerate too much, I don't think the solution is necessarily "incarcerate less" as much as it is "Nurture families more and create stable environments for children to grow up in so that they feel wanted.&q

I don't blame anyone for wanting one language that solves everything. Rust is already good at so many things. I too want Rust and web to be better than it is. My day job consists of a hybrid of Rust/React/JS/CSS/HTM

If only Firefox OS has succeeded. Between Android or iOS, I don't see iOS as being much better. At least I can still side-load applications in Android if it gets banned by the censors.

What engineering team is going to want to tie themselves deeply to a system that builds a reputation for kicking clients off with a 1 day notice?

Why do these companies suddenly now care about enforcing the mantra of the integrity of the electoral system now, and not in 2016? Why do these companies suddenly now care about sites hosting content that encourages violent activity now, an

So.. embrace censorship or get de-platformed. Got it. I don't use Parler, but this newfound love of censorship is going to end badly. How long until we start book burning because they promoted wrongthink?

Funny how I see people complaining about a lack of checkbooks, and people complaining about a lack of mailing checks features in the same thread. Seems like no matter what you do, people will be there to complain about it. But they started

Both sides have monstrous bases. Have you already forgotten the summer riots? It sucks.

It's why it's so terrifying to watch people call on social media companies to censor controversy. Freedom of speech is what separates us from them.

I know this is an unpopular opinion and I'm willing to sacrifice karma for saying this, but I see it the same way to with pro-choice people too. If they're willing to kill off their unborn because they're unwanted, how far do

One question that's been on my mind lately, is if we find this to be true, if we even can; should we hold those in power responsible for their actions? Many leaders have taken Covid-19 as a free "Do whatever they want" card,

Eugenics has always been a 'choice'. The only difference is who is making the choice. As long as it's not the choice of the individual being euthanized; it's still a rebranded form of eugenics.

I mean if full negative sentiment is at three thousand dollars a coin, it's really not that bad.

It's weird how normalized censorship has become in just one year. Yeah, yeah, I know Facebook is a "private entity, and they can do what they want with their platform", spare me. Facebook is a social media monopoly. We need t

Well that sucks. Is this to try to clamp down on users circumventing subscriptions, or something else?

In their side-by-side, they use syntax conventions from 4 years ago for React (class based components and even using var to declare variables) while using the latest syntax conventions for Stencil. How is that a fair comparison?

This. After Belarus, I thought Apple would have learned it's lesson and might loosen it's so-called "security" a bit and allow 3rd party apps/app stores on their phones, but nope; they went full steam ahead into the

And anyone with a dissenting opinion is chased off of the site. I had to stop using it over the staggering amount of groupthink and censorship. Didn't they champion themselves as the bastions of free speech at one point?
