  • it's astounding that all rich people don't just do what the locally famous businessman living a town over from me did:
    get a nice house in your home town (provided it's not a shit place, obviously) and spend your days living a normal "middle class" life where you can just buy and do whatever the fuck you feel like, just pop down to the grocery store and buy some muffins, why not? That's actual contentment in life, having yet even more money and buying a luxury yacht isn't any better than just going on a cruise with your family every single summer

  • fortunately the US recently solved this problem by simply making it "legal" to toss people out even if they're actively shoving proof of their citizenship in the face of an ICE agent

  • we do have a solution, it's called treating people like people and telling them to fuck off when they misbehave, and if moderators don't stop misbehaving then you move.

    i feel like every time people complain about things being bad and oh so difficult to solve there's a blitheringly obvious social solution that has been used for millions of years that is for some reason being ignored

  • cloning is pretty simple: you end up in both places. there's no magical continuity of experience, both clones are equal and will 100% feel like the original and have equally valid claims to such, and to a third observer it would basically just look like two very confused identical twins who share their memories before the cloning.
    You obviously wouldn't end up with a single conscience experiencing both points of view at once, lmao.

    it's just like copying data on a computer, it's all the same data so it's nonsensical to call any copy the "original".
