My guy, you're lucky the crowd didn't pin you down and skin you alive. Fuckin' kiddie fuckers, man. How entitled.

Yeah I got no problem with them putting it on the counter but I'm also bad at socializing lol.

Recommending an advanced Linux OS to a newbie isn't empathetic.

I agree, I don't think everyone needs to know how to use niche CLI utilities or minimalistic tiling WMs. I do think you should be able to easily navigate a windows-like UX such as Mint.

Expecting a user to know how to install an OS isn't empathetic.

No, I think that's about where the average persons knowledge should end. The fact that the average person doesn't know this is exactly the issue I'm getting at.

Re-installing an OS is easy, It's like knowing how to change a tire, or check your oil. Booting off of a USB stick and clicking next a dozen times isn't hard.

I don't know I entirely agree with this take. Computers are literally the most powerful tool for creation in all of human history.

You should absolutely be expected to put effort into it.

I think it would be interesting to brain scan people who want to eat human flesh to understand how and why they’re overcoming millions of years of evolutionary impulses

Yeah everyone who disagrees with you has something wrong with their head. That's totally not lazy, and definitely not ableist in the slightest.

Remember what I said about incels? Its like this weird obsession with arm-chair pseudo-biology. What next, your going to tell me who I fuck and why determines my place in some nebulous social hierarchy? "Overcoming millions of year of biology", no you've just got your head so far up your ass you forgot what bullshit smelt like.

Comparing growing your own meat to a pedophile cranking one out to ai generated photos is a false equivalence and hard. If nothing else, the adult being sampled can consent. The children who's pictures where used as training data can't.

If you’re one step removed from something society actively discourages, and just by advent of technology, then people who have more power and less impulse control will indulge in the real thing.

If someone wants to commit to cannibalism they'll do it anyway. This is a shit take, and a slippery slope at that. Even if that where true, the answer is to do away with capitalism and social hierarchy, not tech that could potentially help to solve hunger.

I'm sorry being a vegan won't make you a better person than the rest of us once this rolls around. I know that must hurt your ego.

Funny clip but still copaganda.

My guy they literally have you pledge your allegiance to a symbol of the state before your anywhere near old enough to know what that means.

Anyone who doesn't, and I can speak from experience, usually gets shit for it from the teachers.

Cloning a meat steak and cloning functional human being are two wildly different things, and only one of those is really possible with anything near modern tech. Hell cloning brain meat and cloning an actually working brain are two very different things.

This is like if the atf treated slingshots as machine guns.

Please for the love of got put that somewhere else.

I fail to see how we treat meat animals as relevant. No ones going to be caged and mistreated because there's no reason to.

The fact you're eating human meat isn't enough to cause psychological issues when no one was harmed, and the idea that it does is fucking laughable.

Unless someone is actually mistreated, which again no practical reason to, as getting a microscopic sample to grow from is harmless. Where would this psychological damage come from? Because it would remind us of the animals we did kill and eat? That's fucking goofy. The psychological harm of cannibalism IS FROM THE PHYSICAL HARM BEING DONE TO THE OTHER PERSON. NOTHING ELSE. THATS IT.

Eating something that harmlessly grew from my body isn't going to impose psychological damage, nor does it imply I lack empathy for myself or those around me.

There's ethically no difference between eating your own lab grown meat, and eating your own boogers. There's ethically no difference between someone eating your own lab grown meat, and someone eating your boogers.

It doesn't automatically put me in the same class as livestock. I'm not undermining my humanity, nor does it mean I don't care for myself. Your hang ups are your own. Get the fuck over yourself.

This almost reminds me of the weird psychosexual hangups incels have but for vegans. Imposing meaning where there is none, Jesus fucking Christ dude.

Public school exist to teach obedience first and foremost.

Okay now you've really lost me? How in the hell is that emotional self harm? If anything I'd take it as a self-compliment that I taste good :p

Is it considered impolite to place it on the counter? I mean I get it if they had their hand out, but if they're just looking at me or busy with their hands fair fame.

Because it doesn't physically harm me to do so. Cutting yourself is physically painful and damaging to your body. Growing cells in a pitri dish to save on dinner is neither of those things.

So when do we have fun with the ip owners in moonbase alpha?

Fucking C-x M-c M-butterfly

That's true, I forgot about that. Their DRM was obnoxious. We already have to deal with Steam, at least that has features which improve gameplay to make up for it.

Actually that specific model of controller has been around for like 15-20 years and is pretty solid, especially the wired version the f310.

When I was in high-school our FRC team used them, and I remember the analog sticks usually lasted for quite a while considering they where getting hammered every night during practice season, and abused during competition. They got shipped, thrown, tossed around, and even got a little percussive maintenance once and a while.

Try that shit with a genuine Nintendo Joycon and get back to me.

The reason its cheap is the same reason it works so well. It really hasn't changed all that much since they introduced the design like 20 years ago. Its basically a ps2 controller with Xbox face-button glyphs, analog triggers, and a USB cable.

Honestly I think the only reason they updated it in 2010 was for xinput compatibility.

'The intuition was to take the complexity and push it onto the user,' Moxie Marlinspike says at Black Hat. 'We were just wrong.'

No the issue is that we had a second eternal September when the iPhone dropped, and since then the computer literacy of the average boomer was allowed to become what we expect out of everyone.

This guy might be a bit of an asshole, but hes got a point. It's only gotten worse since then, now that all the computers with real desktop OS's in schools have been replaced with chromebooks/iPads.

I don't know what's weirder, seeing a grown man flip a children's table over a tantrum, or the fact that he asked to do it first.

Wonder what'd he'd do if they'd said no.
