fat thread edition
Gun control debates always make me laugh... the whole concept seems ridiculous but I can only think "hmm, that country's fucked up, that they even need to have this debate chortle" Posts like >>265 are absurd to me but I'm so removed from the setting, I guess that's really a problem in your country? Lol
Is the intent of "gun control" really to take guns away from people? I thought it was just to make sensible restrictions on how to get a gun, to make it harder for nutjobs to just pick up an assault rifle and go on a spree?
>>273
America already has "sensible restrictions." Mass shootings are a non-issue
yeah, dying in a mass shooting is the least of your worries when you've got the hamburger McPolice shooting people 30 times in the back in self defense
>>272
You probably live in a safe area. That's why you think guns are unnecessary. Guess what? I live in a very violent area. Guns are important.

Bystanders begin clapping and chanting "this is the price of freedom!" Those who aren't yet completely confined to mobility scooters set down their diet cokes, stand, and remove their hats to salute our brave first responders. An eagle named "State's Rights" descends from a sunbeam betwixt parted clouds and sheds a tear on the spent shell casings. All is well in America.
>I didn't know these terms were used outside tumblr.
They definitely are. I wish I had your life instead of mine, where I didn't have to deal with people who unironically say shit like that on a regular basis. I live in an ultra-liberal area. SJWs really do exist. Maybe not where you live. But you presumably living in some tiny town with only rednecks doesn't invalidate my experiences of having to deal with SJWs who say shit like that.
It sounds like your problem is less THE LIBRULS and more that you live in the fucking Bronx? Maybe stop being poor and you won't have to live in the projects with all the niggers and gang bangers, lol.
>But you presumably living in some tiny town with only rednecks doesn't invalidate my experiences of having to deal with SJWs who say shit like that.
Remember what we've said before about making presumptions and assumptions on an anonymous text board. I never even attempted to invalidate your experiences, chill out dude!
I wrote a long post but then macOS closed all my programs and restarted to install an OS update. I'm so glad I have a Mac! Not.
I guess I should clarify I was almost done writing the post and lost it all because of the update.
Large number of weirdly Ameri-centric posts recently. Can we not?
>>285
Don't worry, Windows does that too. Funny how they have the most money but are the only major OSes still unable to do system updates without restarting.
>>285 I'm sure you can turn off the automatic update/restart. I've used Macs for 20 years, but it's only since Yosemite that I've had anything to complain about.
>>280 So that narrows it down to either Aleppo, Mogadishu, or St. Louis. Not sure which is worse, you poor thing. Have you ever thought about heading down to the German embassy and applying for asylum?
>>289
Highly doubt there are only 3 places in the world safer to live than NYC
>>290 that's because there's lots of them, sweetie. You presumably living in Chiraq surrounded by hordes of rapacious human orcs doesn't invalidate my experience of living in flyoverland and being able to go outside after dark without being shot and stabbed.
>>292
Wait, that was me. Never mind.
I could say the same thing after reading it correctly though:
Highly doubt there are only 3 places in the world less safe to live than NYC
This is unbearable.
Right?
I'm hungry.
Thin-king.
"W-why are people trying to have discussions that make me uncomfortable? I'm sheltered and I want to remain sheltered instead of acknowledging a lot of the issues in the world!"
Discussions? Where?
What the heck's a subtweet?

It's 2018 and you don't even know basics of social media? Come on.

Seriously?
4 realz yo
Instagram is disingenuous braggadocio bullshit. I know depressed people who post nothing but happy things on it. They're pretending to be happier and more successful than they really are. Maybe it convinces people who don't know them well in real life, but you can't fool me. I know them well enough to see through this facade.
She works at Starbucks, but she's gone to all these different countries? The numbers don't add up. Either she's lying, or her parents are paying for her travels.
Nowadays, lots of people use tech on a very cursory level. But there are very few people who are genuinely tech-savvy.
Someone might use Facebook and a phone and a computer, but they don't know about rooting Android, they don't know about malware, don't know about Linux, NoScript, VPNs, CVEs, data structures and algorithms, why it's important to update, alternative ROMS, kali, wireshark, shodan, Tor, RESTful APIs, MEAN stack development, shell scripts, etc etc. But because they are able to press the power button and do simple tasks, they think they're tech-savvy. Never used an IDE in their life. Couldn't write a fizzbuzz if their life depended on it. But they still call themselves nerds and say they're into tech. Why? The other day a guy was complaining about ads on his phone, so I told him to install Firefox and uBlock Origin. He told me he wouldn't do that because he didn't want to install "cleaner apps" on his phone. He thinks Firefox is junkware, comparable to fake antivirus. I was trying to help him with a phone issue he was describing, yet he rejected my proposed solution.
Then you have the people who've done simple shit like assembling a computer. They think putting a graphics card into a PCIe 16x slot is somehow equivalent to having a computer science degree. As if putting standardized components together is the height of tech-savviness. I've also noticed that, among people who do this, when they tell me about it, they talk down to me, because their initial assumption is that nobody else knows how to do this. Why? Dunning-Kruger?
Then there are the tribalist retards. Some nerds see my MacBook and automatically assume that I don't use anything else. Yeah, go ahead and tell me how you saved so much money building a desktop. Apparently it's impossible for someone to build their own desktop and use a MacBook too! Wow! Congratulations! You know me and my tech usage better than I do! Fucking retards. Oh yeah, and tell me I've never used Windows either, even though I use VMs, Parallels, multi-booting, etc. You, as the "PC Master Race" sperglords, know about Windows more than I do. It's not like I write software for Windows or anything. Nope. Not at all. What's GitHub? I don't know. It's not like I have a lot of open source projects for multiple platforms or anything.
That being said, technology sucks. One of these days, I just want to throw out all of my tech and move to some tiny town in the middle of nowhere and become a farmer or some shit and go to church and have a traditional family. Technology is soulless garbage and programming sucks the life out of me. I hate the kinds of morally-vacuous bugmen who get into tech. I hate gamer types who think games are the only reason to use computers. I hate the security dilettantes who think knowing about cross-site scripting makes them fucking experts on hacking. I hate how smug people get when they learn how to do simple shit. I hate how tech is being used for surveillance and automation to make people's lives worse, with unemployment, the death of privacy, and other bullshit too.
Do you think tech is good? I think it's making society worse in a lot of ways.
>>318
Instagram is actually the only social media I can stand, since I can just mindlessly look at interesting pictures without having to read all the drama, bullshit, and politics that inundates other networks. Probably only works that way if you have chill friends though.
>>320,321
You know what's even more annoying? Being one of those people who mostly uses tech on a cursory level to play video games and shit, but also being "the tech guy" in my family that everyone comes to with dumb questions because I know how to snap legos together and installed ubuntu once. People bring me all their stupid devices and expect me to know exactly what it is and how to fix it like I'm a fucking tech-priest or something.
>because they are able to press the power button and do simple tasks, they think they're tech-savvy.
There are people out there who can't even do that. Pushing the power button and reading the text a box on the screen and following the instructions in the text is some kind of fucking ancient voodoo to them and people who are able to do it are sorcerers of utmost power and esteem. Sometimes it's hard to remember that it's not you that's particularly smart, it's just the people around you that are dumb.
It's not entirely their fault though. College recruiters and whatnot get people into STEM and computer fields by making it sound like you're gonna be the fucking science officer of the USS Enterprise pushing the limits of technology and boldly going where no man has etc etc. What conceal from you is that those jobs do exist, but you're much more likely to end up as an dead-eyed code monkey making fart apps for iOS or snapping legos together for some HVAC company in Shattuck, Oklahoma.
Also I don't think it's exactly limited to computers. These days, if you know how to change your own oil you're an expert car mechanic. Know how to make a roux and you're a 4 star chef. The days of the renaissance man, the person who has at least a cursory understanding of the way the things around him work, are long over. Now are the days of infantilized bugmen who make a service call to the cable company to have them come out and power cycle their modem.
Stupid techno dweebs

I'm not just a techno dweeb. I'm a jaded techno dweeb, thank you very much.
besides, I'm not a tech priest, I'm a tech paladin, tyvm.
Whatfs a MacBook, whatfs a pc, the thought of hardware defined systems was archaic in the early 90s how are you people still entrenched in this bullshit. The system exists as a disparate set of interfaces guaranteed to have hardware backing them up somewhere over a good network and thatfs all the system needs to know. Agnostic of hardware and software version minutae and even general OS constraints the 9P passes through all equally regardless of actual hardware location. In the distant past the promises of utility were kept by having locked down systems of stable pieces, the plan9 lets these promises be fulfilled by having the necessities be allowed to be freely and transparently mounted from anywhere in the system even across different architectures and component versions.
Computer is over, the system has begun.

i find this infinitely amusing because i am 12 years old
There's been a change recently in my perceived meaning of nerd. It used to be people who don't understand and are not understood by normalfags because of their uncommon or unusually intense interests. But now it seems almost derogatory, suggestive of extreme narrow-mindedness and of an unjustified sense of self-superiority. Maybe I never understood that word properly. Maybe I had some stakes in not understanding it properly.

A slightly corrupted version of your dreams of remote computing and non-standardized hardware are being brought to reality right now: people call it the cloud and smartphones. I dislike it.

It really makes the kids violent!
oh hey millions now living is on spotify and stuff, it wasn't there last time i checked.

You never understood it properly. Nerd originally came from eknurdf which is edrunkf backwards, as in a person so uptight that they are no fun to be around. Which while it applies to people who are studious, generally was just someone who couldnft have fun and took themselves seriously regardless of actual wit or importance.

Are we in a college bubble? Is it going to burst?
Sure, having an education sounds great and all. I'm glad I went to college. But at the same time, this level of debt is unacceptable. Maybe parents for future generations will only let their kid go to college if they're genuinely talented or studying a major that will definitely lead to a good career, instead of this gender studies/underwater basketweaving nonsense. Not worth the massive debt unless there's a return on investment. For many right now, there is none.

It's definitely a bubble, but it's probably gonna fizzle rather than burst. Student loans are a lot harder to escape than housing loans, so it's not like everybody can just suddenly stop paying them. They just keep paying less and less every year.
>>354
Taxes. The US has cut education funding dramatically since the 2008 recession (<a href="https://www.cbpp.org/research/state-budget-and-tax/a-lost-decade-in-higher-education-funding">Source</a>) and while it's slowly rising, they could definitely do better. The US can't afford to make college completely free like a smaller country such as Germany, but it could definitely do better. Even without raising taxes, the US could simply cut other parts of the budget, such as defense, to pay for education.
Without state funding, the cost of education shifts from taxpayers to students, which just makes the problem worse. Students can't afford to contribute to the economy because they're too busy paying off student loans. Colleges make budget cuts, decreasing the quality of education and producing less students who are good for the economy. The only people who profit from the situation are moneylenders, and even they might take a loss when the bubble fizzles.
That said, the belief that everybody needs a college education is silly to begin with. For many jobs, experience and training in a specific skill-set is much more important. But everybody wants to get a degree, leading to degree inflation: these days a bachelor's degree is practically meaningless unless you went to a big-name school, and even then employers still value actual skill and experience more than the piece of paper.
Speaking of unnecessary education, US medical students typically need to study 8 years vs. 5-6 years in the rest of the world. The extra two years doesn't increase the quality of the doctors, it just increases health care costs because we need to pay doctors more to pay off their massive tuition debts.
So yeah, these problems could be solved by lower enrollment, lower degree requirements for jobs, and higher education spending. But good luck convincing Americans to do either of those.
