It's really not that fun, you don't do that stuff unless you have in real life, or you're obsessed. Plus there's also too much random chance, it would beincredibly complex and likely crash your computer if it was at all accurate

I had to eat in that shitty country for a bit this summer, I will show them the kindness they showed me.

It honestly feels like ableism how often often terms for phobias intentionally trigger them, or speech impediments include the letters/particles which cause the problem.

this map is complete nonsense because some of these groups only exist as a result of interactions with europeans, and even some of the other ones are from completely different places before europeans came in.

Which is super weird because he's catholic and we don't really, uh, follow the book of revelations. That weird ass prophecy is a Baptist thing

very nice that your username is a shitty fusion of reek and latin meaning "revealer of nothing higher." This comment is dog shit.

not entirely, as leather is still a wildly useful fabric and material for many uses which synthetic leather can serve(to a greater or lesser extent, granted), but only in specific cases can meat not be replaced/not replaced effectively

at teh end of the day we don't have a definition of consciousness, so issues that would come down to it can't be decided.

I was specifically talking about forwards time travel to distinguish between someone's mind existing in the world and them being alive as two separate states. In teh backwards timetravel example, what makes them different people? I would say legally they are the same person, and the same ethics and morals apply to them, and many people who know the version of them in the past would probably recognize them as the person they know albeit a bit different. Are you not the same person you were yesterday? Or a minute ago?

so much better than america, where it just wouldn't be made in the first place

If you stepped through a time-travel portal, your conscience would effectively not exist between the original time and the time the portal leads to, yet no one would call you dead. If you could somehow install your mind into a new body, let's say you download it into a flashdrive and plug it into someone else's brain while your original body lays without a mind, people may call our body dead but not you. So when there is a continuity of self between the person who steps inot the teleporter and the person who steps out, I will never call that a death, that's silly.
