The prices this article is giving are per month. I was a little confused at first until I followed the link since I've only encountered the annual subscription fee. Which I'm glad won't be changed. The 40/yr is well worth it :)

"Sorry for being so snippy"
No worries :)
"I just am too concerned with the harm this would do to the environment. Humans get so caught up in making nature over - improving, if you will - that we often ignore the potential consequences."
Not necessarily. I have taken a couple selfies. Mostly only when I'm being silly on a day out with a friend or two. But, like, I feel goofy doing it. I feel like strangers are more often trustable than not and I don't feel awkward about approaching people. So why not ask someone else and save the trouble?
I'm not worried about earthquakes this Summer. I'm worried about the fires. With this drought we are going to have a very scary fire season.
Call me old fashioned but I just ask strangers to take group pictures for me.
Thank you for taking the time to clarify things :)
What does your accomplishments have anything to do with death?
You seem like you're pretty confident about the idea that life continues after death. I can see why you're not scared at all.
Doesn't help this little agnostic one bit though.
All I want is something to project that cool shimmer when light reflects off water and back onto walls all over MY walls. And those weird, repetitive, rotating, cracked glass projector disc things aren't cutting it. I want my bedroom to feel like an underwater disco/love den
They all seem so happy and beautiful and special and in love.
Why is it whenever I'm around that same kind/group of people in person it feels so fake and forced and I feel so awkward and gross and out of place?
The magic of film and festivals, I guess. Or maybe youth really is being wasted on me for not feeling like I…
I'm wondering why you don't find it frightening.
There is plenty of evidence for it. It might be incomplete and proven wrong with new information in the future but if you ask any biologist they all say the same thing. And that is what I am basing this on. What they describe freaks me out. What they describe is what I don't want to happen.
So until it is proven…
I have been faced with these questions over and over. I'm not afraid of it being painful or experiencing some endless blackness. As a conscious being I don't want to be not-conscious. Asking if I was afraid before I was born is irrelevant. When I become dead it won't matter any more because I will be gone.
And don't…
That's a pretty important question and one we're probably far away from answering. We have a hard time answering these questions for ourselves, let alone creatures that do things like transform or metamorphose.
You're right. I don't. That doesn't change anything, though.
So far what we know about death is that it is 'like before you were born.' A nothingness. An absence of existence that you will be absent for so 'why even get worked up about it girl!?'
Like, I don't ever want to stop being.
Boy Howdy am I. Death is scary as fuck.
Well, I don't think "have to" is appropriate but eventually it will probably happen. Perhaps I should emphasize "practical" when talking about immortality.
You're right. It's definitely spotty, haha! But I think I have the general idea correct.

That's not necessarily true. Some species are known to never die unless eaten by a predator. A select few species of deep sea jellyfish come to mind. Aging happens from a defect in the ends of DNA. The more DNA is split and duplicated during cell division, the ends get kinda screwed up. Over enough years, those small…
I do see death as an illness rather than a necessary part of life. It's pretty likely that I or at least my children will see the creation and improvement of life-extending medicine that will put them on the track to irradiating "deathby natural causes."
