Haters gonna hate. Hateful people congregate wherever they're tolerated and blast their hate as hard as they can until they're kicked out.

I am. This shit places children, especially LGBT+ children, in danger.

try using a Macbook touchpad and then any other one after it

I have a Dell laptop from 8ish years ago whose touchpad behaves pretty much identically to an Apple touchpad.

Software support for touchpad gestures on Linux is pretty lacking, but that's not the hardware's fault.

Sounds like a success story to me. These cars' automation is so good, you can f somebody while the car is moving and you won't crash!

I can’t move to Graphene or similar due to banking apps.

Then you should consider moving your money to a bank that takes security seriously, if possible.

Well it is, but it’s also hard wired into every living creature.

Birth rates are in free-fall in pretty much every country where contraception is generally available, so I don't know about that.

Having sex is hard-wired, sure. Having kids, not so much. At least not when having kids ruins your life.

On the contrary, your experience is an excellent example of why having children is a horrible idea unless you're ready for what parenthood involves, which almost no one is.

(I would argue that having children is still a horrible idea because the world's falling apart, but that's another story.)

I agree, love the intervonnectivity with iOS, especially AirDrop.

To me, that sort of “feature” is nothing more than a security vulnerability waiting to be exploited.

Maybe I just think that because of past trauma from Microsoft products and IoT devices being blatantly insecure, but…

The only time I remember spending any significant amount of time messing with font rendering on a Linux box in the last decade, it was because I was trying to convince it to use the old Macintosh bitmap fonts Chicago and Geneva (not the TrueType versions that B&H made, which in my opinion are ugly). That was an interesting little project.

Other than that, though, font rendering pretty much just works.

Another commenter here believes that human life begins about 4 years after birth. Interesting to see the differences in opinion on this subject.

Why does a hamburger with cheese become a cheeseburger?

It's a portmanteau. My guess is this portmanteau came first, and then “hamburger” was shortened to “burger”.

No idea if my guess is correct or not, though.

They’ll won’t be able to get hard—That’s what viagra is for.

They also won't ever want sex, their penises will never grow to adult size, and their voices will always sound like that of a little boy.

Now, maybe you're lesbian or asexual or something, and you're fine with all that, but I imagine some women would not be pleased.

Sadly, these opinions are not nearly as unpopular as they need to be.

I prefer Microsoft/Apple/IBM style key bindings (Ctrl+X to cut, Ctrl+V to paste, etc). Text editors don't need to have a completely different set of key bindings from everything else.

We would be the first species on Earth to have ever done so.

Not sure if that's good or bad. Just thought it's an interesting point.

But I’d be lying if I said my initial impression was anything except “God, what a lazy, fat fuck.”

Sounds like envy. Working out is painful and exhausting, you aren't allowed to eat tasty things except on extremely rare occasions, and that “lazy fat fuck” has neither of those problems.

That's probably going to happen with or without self-driving.

Because if there's one thing everybody needs, it's to either triple their daily commute or live in a pod.

Cars are popular for a reason.

In my opinion, some adults aren't even adults, let alone teenagers.

Romeo-and-Juliet laws are the solution to this problem. Under such a law, it is legal to have sex with someone if your age is close enough to theirs, or if both of you are adults.
