I read your comment thread this morning and it's been bouncing around my head all day. I agree with you, and there's something I can't quite put my finger on about how everything online is so serious and black and white. If you do something wrong you're evil incarnate and you deserve instant excommunication.

Your comment being so heavily downvoted is a good example. I think your stance is the most reasonable, and I think if this all played out in the real world you'd have a vast majority of people agreeing with you. But for some reason once it's on the internet you're unanimously wrong and it's not up for discussion.

I've been on the wrong side of an "am I the asshole" post one time and it was bizarre seeing the anger of people on the internet compared to the relaxed opinions of real people that heard the story. I wish there was a term for this phenomenon because I see it everywhere. Terminally online people who can't just see nuance and realise that we all do stupid shit.

I don't really have a point but I thought I'd let you know you inspired some thought in a single person from the void.

Aye but there's always a mixup when software developers need a nonce

If I touched grass my laptop would get glare? I've got noise cancelling headphones but I paired them to my TV and now it won't play from my phone unless I unpair them from my TV but the UI has several layers of riddles before I can do that so I just have to walk far away so the TV is out of range before I turn the headphones on and then they work with my phone but by then my neighbour has finished beating his kids so I'm left being annoyed more at Bluetooth technology instead of my neighbour hey did you know Bluetooth is named after a person? King Harold Bluetooth anyway the point is terraced housing sucks and my neighbour is a prick

Help I'm trying my best to stop being a fascist but I can still hear my neighbour screaming at his children through the wall

The CD-Keys website changes the tab title to "We miss you" when the tab loses focus. Pisses me off enough to close it every time.

So you're saying the junk food companies are going to create healthy versions and then push the healthy stuff on kids instead? Sounds like a win

All fun and games until your company does a fake phishing campaign and you get signed up to cyber security training because you clicked on every email

I assume you're talking about (for example) some equipment that takes in soil/water/air, rearranges the atoms and churns out potatoes. We definitely can't do that. It's too hard, we're nowhere near that level of technology.

I can only imagine the people in this thread are referring to lab grown stuff where they use plant cells, which is cheating because that's still depending on plants.

Web1.0-punk. Probably needs a catchier name.
