There’s a DDG privacy first browser on Android. This is probably what they are referring to.

To expand on this, all that we really have is a feeling of self-awareness, and a memory of a continuous series of events leading up to this moment. Both teleporter clones would have the same subjective-I feeling, and the memories. Which one is “real” is a meaningless distinction.

I disagree, at least if we’re talking star trek transporter. For the person who stepped into the transporter, their conscious experience ends forever. The person who steps out the other side has the illusion of continuity and will understandably believe themselves to be the same person, but it won’t be the same person. As I see it, the original person’s life experience ended permanently when they were “destroyed” by the transporter. The fact that the copy will perceive itself to be the original doesn’t change this.

In some hypothetical where you are magically moved without being destroyed, I could accept that the same person who teleports from spot A is the same person who arrives at spot B, but so far I have heard of no technological idea of teleportation that convinces me people aren’t dying every time they teleport. (I know we’re just debating fiction so it’s arguably meaningless, but I’d for sure be the guy in Star Trek who refused to use the transporter.)

The problem was nearly four years of “this time we’re really gonna get Trump” in the context of the J6 investigation, the documents he hoarded in his bathroom, etc, and not a damn thing actually happened. The man is white and wealthy and we had four years to see what white and wealthy gets you - teflon skin apparently.

So it’s a little bit hard to imagine dems coming out hard enough to secure consequences of any kind for him. I’m hopeful, sure, and I’m glad they are planning. What I lack faith in is the effectiveness of the plans.

Came to say Requiem for a Dream but I see that’s well represented.

I’ll go with Legends of the Fall - a story told across multiple generations of a family, and damn near nothing but tragedy for any of them. It left me feeling so bleak towards the world. (Decades ago that I watched it, but that’s my recollection.)

Pink Floyd The Wall - also just left me feeling like humanity is just endlessly fucked up and mostly terrible to each other.

I don’t actually care which one gets picked, I just wish we’d stop changing twice a year. I really like the “move the clocks 30 minutes and then don’t touch them again” option too. Seems like it would be a decent compromise to me.

I can’t fathom how this isn’t the answer. Seems like it would be a slam dunk.

Not sure they still do, but the US definitely has used them.

But I’m a grower not a shower!

And the purpose of those statues was to make sure black people knew to stay in their place.

The one thing that gets Republicans to support gun control is black folks with guns.

But then suddenly they just stopped, and MAGA was able to reposition and gain the upper hand for the remainder of the season.

Don’t forget cozying up to Republicans. I think they took the campaign to the right because of some crazy idea that they needed to try for getting Republican votes. They stopped punching maga in the nose out of a misguided idea that they might steal some R votes from Trump.

In that case I’m sorry for not getting it! :)

I didn’t realize they had covered it but I bet it’s a hoot. I’ll have to see if I can find it.

I haven’t thought of that song (or King Missile in general) in a long darn time.

I literally can’t tell if you believe this or not.

The depressing thing is that it’s totally reasonable to instead ask WHICH rage post.

You can definitely tell who read the article based on how people are commenting.

I legit feel bad for you if this is true. Remembering dreams is so cool. It’s amazing to see the bizarre shit your mind comes up with while you sleep. I don’t remember all my dreams but I do remember at least the last dream I had before waking fairly often.
