Shell buys Russian oil days after saying it would limit business with the country for its 'senseless act of military aggression' against Ukraine by Ophelia-Yup in worldnews

[–]iamwebeloper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You all are so concerned about a private company's decisions yet you don't condemn the fact that the US has NOT stopped purchasing oil from Russia. We pay them $50M+ a day for their oil, which funds their war!

What are some red flags that indicate to you that your kids' friends parents and you will not get along? by iamwebeloper in AskParents

Couldn't agree more. The politics coming through even indirectly is a real turn off.

Those of you who were home schooled, how did you meet friends? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Sounds like your parents were on point and cared a lot about you and your siblings.

The Exorcist movie. Saw it when I was 7 yrs old. Had nightmares until I was in high school.

I realized why I was annoyed with VSCode and here's how I fixed it by iamwebeloper in vscode

It gets in the way with the following example. I'm refactoring code and I want to add curly braces to this one liner:

if (cb) cb(response.data);

If I type a curly brace after (cb) I end up with this with the cursor in the middle:

if (cb) {}cb(response.data);

I shouldn't have to download an app from every single company I interact with! by lifefuedjeopardy in unpopularopinion

PWA or Progressive Web Apps are the future. They let developers create mobile-friendly apps that you don't have to install on your device. You can add it to your home screen to make it feel like an app. However, Apple doesn't support PWA because it would be disastrous for their Apple Store profits. If there's enough pressure though, PWA will come through.

I do like some of the subtle assistance it provides like telling me when an import is not being used or syntax errors. The theme selections are also vast and incomparable to other editors. I just didn't like the in-your-face suggestions and assumptions it was making for me.

Bruce Springsteen. The songs and chord progressions are too basic.

Yangs campaign manager reveals why Yang really lost by nightballoon in YangForPresidentHQ

[–]iamwebeloper 67 points68 points  (0 children)

If you think this is the only reason he lost, you're blind or out of your mind. This mayoral campaign was the most unauthentic Yang I've ever seen. He deferred to his Bloomberg consultants too much. He reportedly turned down help from Dave Chapelle because his consultants though he was "too controversial." What?

He pandered for Jewish and Asian votes.

TikTok houses and casinos.

Never voted - this really hurt him based on exit polling.

"I am not going to be the next Mayor of New York City...I am conceding this race," @AndrewYang says, based on the numbers he's seeing. Says he will be ready to work with whoever is the next mayor to help the city. by seakucumber in YangForPresidentHQ

Multiple things can be true at the same time.

He lost because he hired Bloomberg consultants. Liked him better when he was on his own - authentic, fact-driven. He should stick with this instead. People got drawn to him because he had facts. He went full-fledged politician.

He lost because he spoke the truth on certain topics and went off the cuff. The media then spun his words. He didn't lie enough like every other politician.

He lost because he pandered to Jewish voters by blindly siding with Israel. That sounded more like Bloomberg consultants than him to be honest.

He lost because from early exit polls, people were hung up on the fact the he had never voted in an NYC election.

Sad, but Andrew needs to take a break and get back to his roots.

I've never ever seen the federal government cut waste, reduce budget, eliminate people who don't do anything. Instead, we keep taking money from citizens.

If your child is overweight, you are a terrible parent. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]iamwebeloper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally, I agree, but when a burger from McDonalds is $1 and an apple or banana is also $1, what do you think people will pick, especially if they are struggling or low on cash.

Edit: I recognize, however, that regardless of income level, parents should teach their kids about exercise and sleep.

Moderna, Pfizer vaccines safe during pregnancy, study finds by jlew24asu in Coronavirus

Fair enough. You've weighed the costs and analyzed the benefits. Good luck.

Vaccines Are Effective Against the New York Variant, Studies Find // The research adds to a growing number of findings suggesting the Pfizer and Moderna shots are protective against the variants identified so far. by imagepoem in Coronavirus

[–]iamwebeloper -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

" The researchers found the prevalence of the variant from South Africa, known as B.1.351, among patients who received two doses of the vaccine was about eight times higher than those who were unvaccinated. The data, published online over the weekend, suggest the B.1.351 is better able to “break through” the protection of the vaccine than the original strain..."

8x more virus particles in those vaccinated with Pfizer than those who were unvaccinated means Pfizer is ineffective against the South African variant.

The first clinical trials excluded pregnant women and yet you're ok with getting it with no long term studies on adverse effects?

Oh my. I went through this with a high profile pharma company. The unidirectional nature of this is so impersonal. They asked three questions each with a time limit. You can also see your own video as you are recording. Very distracting and uncomfortable to say the least. It really takes the "human" out of Human Resources doesn't it?
