This is the real reason. Heck even real drugs were less appealing to the rush I got completing a raid with my clan back in the day in WoW.

Duly noted. It has been extended it. It wasn't a long comment. Edits were made within the first few minutes, but they were clarifying edits, the content remained the same. Either way, I will chalk this up to a big misunderstanding.

Despite whatever framework I use, I believe adding types improves it and reduces bugs, Vue included. (These days I'm favoring ReasonML and that skews me to React, but I believe Vue.js is also available on Bucklescript)

I believe it s neither "authority" nor "trust" that has fallen, but rather nihilism that has taken a sharp rise. Who cares about your authority, or trusting you outside of my purposes? It's all meaningless in the en

lol I'm sorry but no. 400k a year in US puts you in "I am a millionaire" status after like 5 years. 90k euros and big city purchasing power in France is most likely comparable to 180k in US. Remember, all these jobs we are ta
