   * Plunder provides a similar ability to progress loadouts as either paid game * it’s the biggest game I’ve ever seen and updates way too much. Feels like it ate my entire 1.2TB soft cap last month. Sadly the other games are also coming with

   Haha, Warzone is a great game with one of the worst UI/UX designs I've ever seen. As a player who got it 5 months ago or so, I fully disagree with your assessment. It has a horrible and confusing store, no pay-to-win aspects, and

   Well, it kinda died in developing countries because of the west too. There was a sweet spot in human history where communication was strong enough and technology limited enough where some many groups managed to find themselves on the brink

   Plus if you're decent with the inspector, you can usually remove the paywall and then if the body doesn't scroll find the Event Listener for `onscroll` and kill that; it almost always is just a simple fn preventing scroll events

   This is a false dichotomy to propose. My claim is that the police - notorious domestic abusers, rights violators - are failing to collect evidence from women coming forward with rape allegations. Given the time-sensitive and trauma-riddled

    Where on earth has that come into play? That is a strange and telling deflection.

    Yes, sure. Instead, by holistically paying attention to data, we can see that rape is a wildly underprosecuted crime[0], and thus we can stop acting like there are no possible barriers obstructing these victims from justice. Actually, it’s

    There are plenty of stories of law enforcement ignoring, downplaying, and even harassing victims of sexual crimes who try to report it. Please do not act like the police are a high trust authority who act only in good faith - we have overwh

    I just am saying, someone with clean HTML/CSS/JS knowledge who abuses React to the degree you're implying just sounds like a strawman to me.

    I mean, that's just bad development though. You can write React with literally 0 external libraries and have a fully-fledged state management solution built-in. The same folks who fail to understand that and just recklessly add depende

    Not sure I understand, are you implying Deno does automatic tree-shaking on package imports? If not, how does "deno download exactly the code that is imported" and not just a whole package? Also, from your link: "In Node this

    Can you speak to these bugs? I personally don't agree that React apps impart any standard class of bugs, but maybe that's because Redux is actually the source of all these issues and I've avoided redux like the plague it is
