Transporters work by de-assembling something (e.g. you) and re-assembling it somewhere else. What if, when you’re dis-assembled, you die, and the re-assembled version of you is essentially a copy? Then every time someone steps onto a transporter, their final thought before death is that they’ll end up beamed somewhere else....
I actually had a new thought in this that probably comes from Rick and Morty, what if transportation is possible, but it's cheaper to murder your ass and portal in some schmuck from a parallel universe?
When I lie, it’s most often a lie of omission. Are you more of a falsehood teller? Or do you lie out of ignorance? Or is there a particular subject you’re likely to lie about? Or a person who you tell most of your lies to?...
There are simply some communities I can’t find on Lemmy. For example, I use subreddits based on admissions to specific colleges that would never be able to function on Lemmy due to its size. I’d much prefer to abandon Reddit altogether but the information I need is usually only there.
Mr Zelensky, a former television actor with an acute sense of his audience, has detected a change of mood among some of his partners. “I have this intuition, reading, hearing and seeing their eyes [when they say] ‘we’ll be always with you,’” he says, speaking in English (a language in which he is increasingly fluent)....
When I mean “specific,” I mean things like something dedicated to a certain genre, a certain video game, to gaming suggestions, to asking whether you should buy a certain game… anything that isn’t just one catch-all for any video gaming topic. So I’m not including the various !games@instance or !gaming@instance links....
I’ve been catching up on and rewatching some lately. Legend, Highlander, The Never ending Story. What are some others that are similar? And why do 80s movies seem to hit different than other decades?
I have never had any patience with variable names when I realize I have to do a 3-way swap: c=a, a=b, b=c. I'm sure there's 40 years of goddamit=a and fml=a in the wake I've left behind me.
I don't think anybody was affected more by that abomination of a song than Jolene Blalock. She and her little outfits worked so hard to boost that show, and the producers threw obstacles like that song in her way. It's no wonder that she freaked out, quit acting, and married Ticketmaster.
