I suppose it really depends on figuring out what consciousness really is.

If we’re talking about pure digital information then nothing is actually moved, it’s just copied and written to a new location. From the perspective of the new mind, continuity would be preserved and it would think it had simply changed places. The old mind (if it survives the scanning/transfer process) would still be outside the simulation and see a new copy of itself in there.

On the other hand, if consciousness is some kind of understandable phenomena, with even more sci-fi tech we might be able to simply scoop it out and put it somewhere else. In that case it would be the same person.

The absence of evidence isn’t evidence of absence.

But realistically, and specifically OPs scenario, it doesn’t matter because there’s literally nothing you can do about it except try to be better than you were yesterday.

Yeah it’s pretty trash, and I’ve found that if I buy direct from the manufacturer website for 99% of stuff I’ll actually save $5-10, including shipping

Not quite fired but close enough. I know a guy who had gotten his 100% disability from the military during his first enlistment (basically only worked for about 2 years and then medical said he was borked so he was going to collect a paycheck for the rest of his life)

Then he popped positive for smoking weed on a random drug test and lost it all. Now he’s being discharged on an ‘other than honorable’ which means he loses all his benefits.

Aren’t those people also the first to be let go? They’re the most expensive and you can maximize short term profits by letting go to expensive employees and hiring on cheap ones.

I would wear the hell out of this shirt

It seems like you really need to decide if the paycheck is worth the drama. You make it sound like you have other options, so if fear of the unknown is the only thing keeping you from jumping ship, I think you should jump.

It helps to understand some of the deeper lore, but AW2 does a good job of letting you know the important bits so it’s not necessary to have played the first one.

Tell that to the people who just got denied the ability to sue over an Uber crash because their daughter agreed to the Uber eats eula

Also, oyster crackers are delicious!

If I recall, I had to go into uBlocks settings and enable Easylist- annoyances > chat widgets an Adguard -annoyances >mobile app banners, widgets

I haven’t had any issues myself, but I’ve seen some stuff online saying reddit has been rather aggressive with trying to fight blockers

I think my body might notice if it’s volume of blood suddenly doubled.

Ublock gets rid of the banner asking you to switch…it doesn’t fix all the other bullshit though.

I don’t know about that, even when I’m in desktop mode the site is Nigh unusable. It’ll refresh the page when I use the back button after viewing a thread and after a short while the whole page will freeze and become unresponsive. Reddit has purposefully made the site as frustrating as possible to use to the point where I don’t even use it to browse my niche subreddits anymore.
