My first thought was indeed Blinding Lights.
I don’t see why it would be so unlikely to be cellophane but OP would have to test it.
Oh come on, really? Is the problem ultrarich people? Or is the problem poor people who won’t eat those ultrarich people?
That was a gazillion years ago. Probably some fandom thing? Seems likely.
Productive is not what I’d call what I do but anyway: I don’t follow things that make me miserable or even just “people”. My feeds are full of all kinds of fun stuff, like my fandoms or science or art. So I don’t ever “doom scroll”, really, but read about what other people thought about that newest episode or some new thought they had about an ancient episode or general fan squealing about a ship or the newest weird findings about spinosaurus or ‘look at these new photos Perseverance has taken’ or ‘look at this detail in this awesome painting’ or ‘this is how to improve this aspect in your drawings’.
Yes I am on tumblr. Yes I am on tumblr too much.
The only opinion that matters here is your partner’s.
yes but porn
Sharing contact information directly phone to phone.
Lock screen widgets, giving me information at an actual glance without the risk of getting sucked into other random bullshit.
Well yes. There are people who receive money from reddit in exchange for services rendered, making reddit a legitimate company that can be held to higher standards. And then there are the mods (who, as we all know, are le ghey) who need to be protected from this fact of reality at all costs.
The difference being that one is a system held together by volunteers, spit and floss, dreams and hopes, the other is a major website that pays people real world money to prevent shit from happening. (also, don’t reddit)
Pardon? “Why” what?
It ain’t your job to keep yourself healthy, it’s the job of the government to keep their citizens healthy.
I live in socialist paradise and I still think that’s a weird, weird thing to say.
I had this conversation right here earlier. There is no “splitting”, it’s a copy. Like copying a file to two different harddrives and deleting the file in the “original” path. Neither of them is more real than the other.
I don’t know where you got “defend” from.
You seem to imply that’s because it’s a “different” body made of different atoms. The atoms in our bodies are constantly exchanged already, we’re constantly recreating our bodies even without transporting. I don’t think that’s any different.
I’ve been on the internet for too long, so based on experience I start vaguely suspecting confrontation in any exchange longer than two comments :)
The Riker problem is of course interesting and I don’t know what I’d do in that situation (other than make out - just like Will and Tom did) or how I think I/we would decide who gets to be the “real one”, for lack of a better term. I’m very glad I won’t ever have to figure that out. But yes, that’s probably what my view implies: there’d be two of “me”, exact copies. Like when I copy a file to two different hard drives and then delete the source. There’d be no “real” one, they’re both the same file, just in different places.
I’ll have to think about your view because, I have to admit, I’m having trouble really seeing it and that’s annoying me. It’s just too different from how I think, I suppose. Thank you for giving me some food for thought then :)
It’s a copied personality. The same brain structures recreated in two identical bodies. Is that an issue?
I don’t know. From my understanding, Thomas Riker is indeed the same person as William - in the very first instance after transporting. After that, their experiences are different and their consciousnesses diverge to form different people. I’m not the same person I was two seconds ago, even without transporting, while sitting motionless in my chair.
Split personalities, btw, would mean two personalities in the same brain, that’s not what’s happening here.
In death, my consciousness stops. That’s not the case here.
