I started to... then i stopped. Realised that i was an idiot for having and idiotic argument with another idiot over the internet about a disgusting topic that i absolutely do not want to research more into. So, no. No i wont.

Not in their law books. Most countries do not have in their laws explicitly saying in one way or another that "consumption of human meat is illegal".
Overall, Cannibalism is not illegal per se in the world. Most of the countries do not have specific laws prohibiting eating human meat.
At best they would go with desecration which is in fact not a law against cannibalism.
Mode of obtaining the human meat does not equate to eating it to be illegal.

Obtaining Human Flesh is not the same as Consuming Human Flesh

• Obtaining Human Flesh is almost always illegal because it involves crimes like murder, assault, or desecration of a corpse. These acts are generally criminalized.
• Consuming Human Flesh is rarely explicitly illegal. Most legal systems don’t have laws that specifically prohibit the act of eating human meat.

There is a reasonable explanation for that to not be "Illegal". For instance, you and I are stranded without food, I shouldn't have to be worried about breaking laws when I cook and eat your Delicious and Sleazy corpse.

Also, thanks for react packs you didn't have to, and I am not joining your sect. You can have this, enjoy.

We could see if incest babies get some interesting mutations.

Isn't the entire Hapsburg line enough of an experiment in that endeavor?

We need more human genetic experiments but too many are too afraid of ethical implications.
I want some Dinosaurs but make sure it is in another continent just in case something bad happens.
Also no flying or water base one just land dinos that won't cross to other continents.

I'd see genetic engineering to that degree as likely more of a when rather than an if, though. At least having the level of understanding to know how to do it.

Things didn't go well for Drs. Moreau and Mengele. Genetic engineering to that degree would be unethical and unnatural.

What is 'unethical' and what is 'unnatural'? If you have someone that is voluntarily doing it, is it unethical? Ethics are constantly evolving, and things considered unethical in the past, like organ transplants or pacemakers, are life-saving procedures, which is one of the main goals of genetic engineering. But our understanding of medical science, at least today, has also opened the door to safe and well-understood vanity procedures.

As for unnatural, that's honestly just a loaded but meaningless term that has been used as a vague buzzword for decades. By no means is the suggestion of genetic abuse being made, not to mention I believe modern medical science has moved beyond the need for human subjects for early-stage genetics research. AI modeling, engineered tissue systems, organoids, and whatever we may develop in the future have reduced the need for human involvement in pre-clinical testing. Human volunteers only enter the equation during late-stage trials when safety surrounding the procedures is well understood. Calling something 'unnatural' is nothing more than a constantly shifting arbitrary label. Whether it's been vaccines, prosthetics, IVF, transplants, or blood transfusion (banned in England and France in 1668, by the way, for being 'unnatural and dangerous'), they've all been called unnatural throughout the years.

You should know I'm primarily left-handed. Am I unnatural? I would have been at one point in history. Are women wearing pants unnatural?

Where would we be today if we dismissed every single scientific breakthrough that is now commonplace today that detractors once called unnatural? The word is practically meaningless when used by ethical absolutists who move the goalpost with each coming decade.

It's legal in 49 states in the U.S at least. I think it's only illegal in Idaho.

You can't help them. They are in denial that they are wrong about cannibalism being illegal in the world.
Their world view would be shattered if they accept the fact that obtaining human meat and eating human meat are two very distinct things.

It reminds me of that episode of QI where they said that there was no law against slavery in England, until 2010 because legally "slave" wasn't a recognized state of being.

Undies, why does P5 have to be changing? I don't want to be pressured to spend all my internet points

I don't think it will change for the LC Coin version unless the price gets cheaper best case and worst case it gets expensive.
At least that is how I understood it from the mods.

 

[uncbuck]

Does anyone experiance lag last couple days?

I get that from time to time -- sometimes I need to leave the site and return but even that does not always fix the issue -- seems to go away on its own in 10 - 15 minutes usually

Hmm, I'm not seeing P2 in the shop.

P2 and P3 are getting axed and merged since they do not really offer anything haha

Wait, I thought both were changing. Is the LC Coin version becoming annual subscription-based now, or is the Gold Coin version?

Haven't seen it since they started updating the shop.

The merged version isn't in the shop though either. If that's the case, it's been axed already.

I am actually confuse about that but I am not actually sure what will happen.

A lot of manwha has been copy paste solo leveling shadowy stuff ever since it got big even before the anime haha

Not the biggest fan of solo leveling, other than the art it ain't that great.
I'm saying that as a fan of the general genre (power fantasy.)
It does the move of removing the MC's personality after he gets a power boost. I know being calm, tall, cool, and silent is pretty badass, but that's all he is after he gets his transformation from slim regular dude.
And while I think the MC needs an advantage that lets them go from zero to hero, his leveling power is just too much, it didn't stop at levels, but a whole slew of other benefits.

 

[uncbuck]

I have one I like to give to people too. I just haven't figured out how it works yet! Sometimes it just goes off..

Everybody needs at least one -- sometimes two

Base on the wording LC rewards and upgrades are always lifetime so I do not think you have to panic about it disappearing.
