   I agree w/ the parts that we aren't belief-less heathens. I'm still inspired and awestruck as an exmormon/agnostic when I see a beautiful space image or sunset. Or just watching my kids experience new things for the firs

   Ikea should stop 'banning' them and embracing these. They should build a ticket platform so you can only get into the game w/a ticket. You'd put an armband on signifying you're a 'player'. That way they co

   Yeah that's basically my point when there's a new shiny framework or even a headless cms or something, we (devs) like to test it out a bit, and we might come back to it 5-10 times before actually pulling the trigger and using the

   I'm curious why pay for your product, when I could just use Hasura for free + the instance it's running on? Edit: I might use it if it had a freemium model not just trial. I often play w/ new technologies, forget about em, co

   I'm not a stoic but after losing my faith in religion, I needed something to replace it, and also found stoicism helped w/ depression, but I namely only focused on a few main things. 1. There are 3 types of worries: What we have p

   This! I'm always thinking of 'does it scale'. and How perfect does it scale, can I do better? I'm a perfectionist so it's hard to commit to a side project because of the tech stack conundrum... I think I'm abou

    but is it more prevalent now than pre-facebook? If not then that would support my hypothesis that online culture is adding to it, and possible causing some of it.

    Maybe girls do -- do the same. Say 20% of girls do the same, that takes those girls 'off the market', so there's more competition and less supply of potential 'mates'. I mean it sounds like a black mirror episode bu

    I wonder if maybe it has to do with more screen time and less real-world socializing. Can't meet a girl when you never leave mom's basement. Also staying in breeds phobia's of crowds and people and social interactions which c

    I think paramount to all of those is the revolving door / political corruption that is Washington. Remove money from politics and many of those issues will resolve themselves. Make it so politicians may never become lobbyists, and in f

    Couldn't we just put a dome around manufacturing plants that is air tight and collects the carbon? For breathable air we can use hospital grade air systems.

    I was more 'numb' and going with 'the flow'...doing what my wife wanted..cause I really didn't want/care about anything. Life was just a surreal numbness, so why not just let her be happy if I couldn't be.

    This! This is my philosophy, I picked it up from some stoic readings and teachings. Either you can be depressed and hate life and wallow in depression or take the easy way out or you can stop and find beauty in the 80-100 years we're g

    Maybe learn about stoicism. I have two children, and watching them experience life for the first time is the most fulfilling thing I've ever seen. I was 38 when my youngest was born, I'll be 40 in November. Stoicism teaches that w

    I flip flop back and forth.... I'm encouraged by the Blue Wave and AOC, and the rise of Bernie/Warren, but at the same time I see corporations and Super PAC's becoming more and more powerful in this country. I do like what Ri

    We had better leaders in the past... We've moved the post too far right. Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower even from different parties I think all of them were in support of more support for the people, and I'm pretty sure Eisenhower

    This is refreshing actually. I used to be mormon and am now 95% agnostic (I don't believe in deity being required for an afterlife, but I believe there's a 5-10% chance of something else post-death). I actually had given up on the

    I'm also in a similar boat. Full stack but my ideas are usually big requiring a team not a single Dev. Curious if you and op might want to team up. 3 devs as co-founders could accomplish a lot. I used to do Marketing 10 years ago and s

    Why would it be disastrous? If we are just computer bits/bytes then are we really as valuable as we claim? Is our life still valuable? Our claim is that humanity is the most valuable thing in the universe right now because as far as we

    Ironic if there's a mass Exodus to Oregon/Washington just before the next Cascadia earthquake/tsunami wipes off half the two states. Guess that would be nature's way of enforcing population control.
