Not all of us. Many are evolutionary or old earth creationists that generally don’t have an issue with many aspects of evolution.

Curious, why should conviction history not be a factor? I could see the argument that previous convictions could indicate a lack of commitment to no longer committing crimes.

“Empirically unprovable” and “fictional” are not synonymous.

Is there a way their question could have been phrased that would have not drawn you to make that assumption, which seems to be an ethos attack, or are you predisposed to reply in such a way about any philosophical evolution question?

It's actually pretty incredible for how well it runs and how good it looks on Switch. Focusing on a few FPS drops like this is really missing the forest for the trees.

Yes, it's amazing. The story is better, the dungeons are better, and the weapon durability is further reduced in impact due to continually finding new weapon attachments on enemies.

And you are listing pretty much the lower priority parts of the game - the exploration, density of content, core mechanics, innovation, insane freedom, variety of content, is absolute magic. It definitely plays like BOTW so you may not like it if you didn't like BOTW, but to say it doesn't have a lot of meaningful improvements is simply inaccurate.

Agreed 100%. I love Brave now, feels like you get all the benefits of Chrome with anti-Google/ad built in!

I keep seeing this comment that companies are making their millions 'off of open source libraries' and it's a catchy phrase but let's be real the big companies that are using faker JS are making an insignificant amount extra by using that library, there are alternatives to mock data, etc. A key feature of MIT style licenses is that you can do whatever the hell you want with it for free, use a more restrictive license if you don't want people making a bunch of money off your code. I feel bad for this maintainer but a good takeaway is probably to not do a bunch of work for free unless you see a path to income down the road from it.

So by your logic are you saying it'd be immoral for someone to provide an app or program that a user _specifically wants_ that tracks their device activity and shares it with a designated recipient? No one is forcing anybody to install this app, many apps like this exist on a variety of ecosystems and there are many many many testimonies of these types of apps helping people accomplish their accountability goals. How can something you explicitly agree to and want be considered 'invasive malware'?

There's nothing immoral about it if the parent is up front with the child, the child knows the device is monitored. If they don't want to be monitored, then they don't get the device. I know for a fact once my kids are older not a packet will leave my house without getting snooped at least by a parent controls filter. I'm sure they'll find ways around it (as I did as a technical child) but kids need to be protected from devices and the internet just as much as they need to have access. There is a great deal of harmful and damaging content - social media being the least of it in many ways. If a kid feels they need to hide something as meaningful as issues about sexuality (which I do understand is common) from their parents, the issue is not the filters, it's the relationship, and the solution isn't to give the minor free reign to choose to use the internet unabated according to their own wisdom. Once they're an adult, fine. I guess there are just extremely different views on parental authority today.

I think you're probably just not in the circles that do this. Christian men do this all the time, either with their wives as the 'accountability partner' or a male Christian friend. It might be your opinion that there's nothing wrong with looking at porn occasionally but there are large groups that don't believe it is (eg most Christians) and if a married couple with that belief agree to set up an accountability system like this, whose right is it go deny that. Seems a bit like discrimination.

I get where you're coming from, but is the solution to simply not allow instant receiving of money? No one's being forced to use these apps.

True, with #1 this is pedantic but it could be restated as the worth of your product is what people are willing to pay.

"Once vaccines are approved for children, I think people's options should be to either vaccinate their child or homeschool them"

Alternative perspective, why should the unvaxed kids be forced into homeschooling? Maybe the parents of vaxed kids should be given the option of putting their vaxed kid in a school that has a mix of vaxed and unvaxed kids, or to homeschool? Given the general demographics of the unvaxed I'd say that's far more likely to happen then a school vax mandate. They would never get away with turning away a bunch of African-American kids going to some of the strapped inner city schools. Food for thought.

An alternative that could happen is vaxed / unvaxed kids in separate classes or schools. Though that wouldn't be possible everywhere.
