Same thing happened to me about a year ago, for mostly the same reasons. It sucks, but you’ll be better for it as a person in the end. They say you have to break someone’s heart and have your heart broken before you can really be a good partner to someone else. I used to think that was bullshit but now I think it's…

I’m a Computer Systems Engineer... With a Philosophy degree. So those BAs are not necessarily worthless.

I call this “The Airplane” because the only place I’ve ever seen it ordered was on a plane. And like most other things associated with commercial air travel, it’s disgusting.

That show Sliders already did this episode in the 90s.

I haven't gotten my hair cut in a year. Not tryin to any time soon either.

Still not voting for Hillary.

I'm about to cancel for the same reason. It's a bummer, but I listen to a lot of music and want to be able to save it

Better way of asking the question (specifically resuscitation)! But we’re talking about actual copies here, which is where the quantum problem in the video comes into play. If your brain was downloaded into a computer, as a 1:1 copy (which quantum theory implies is impossible without destroying the “original”), which…

Sleep is not non-experience; your consciousness is intact throughout, experiencing. Death is non-experience because your consciousness literally cannot experience it; conscious beings cannot experience the absence of consciousness.

It still would not be the “self” that you’re experiencing now, but a perfect copy of that “self”. “You” would no longer exist having transitioned from experience to non-experience.

Growing up in the Seattle area, we were pretty much taught this straight out of the womb.

To appeal to independent and center right Republican voters in the general. Just watch, it'll happen.

As soon as she’s nominated though she’ll almost certainly tack right pretty hard.

The career politician part is less of a sticking point. I think I'm using it as a term indicative of an undercurrent of cynicism towards established political figures. I realize Hillary has lots of experience in government, but she represents the status quo, particularly economically, which is important to a…

Honest question because I see a lot of real vitriol here about sexism: I am a man. I also consider myself a socialist, and have for many years. I also consider myself a feminist or feminist ally, whichever term is preferred now. I cannot, however, vote for Clinton. She is essentially a center right capitalist career…

Makes sense. When I was in the Navy and routinely working 20+ hour days, for weeks on end (underway), I would just shovel food in my mouth constantly. Being awake and moving all that time tended to just burn all that energy though.

I mean, the word is objectively a cruel and terrible place that we've all been cursed to inhabit, but I think most people in the comments here are more Team Dog in this situation. I know I’d ease the poor pup’s pain with some cuddles.

You know this dog is a sweetheart though. Come on.

Yeah I actually like this, but HP will probably want $800 for it.
