I hate to tell you, but I saved this image in November of 2016. It’s at least a decade old.

Buying two (or more if other skin tones are affected) devices would be more expensive than buying one device that covers all skin tones?

Wait, I wasn’t going to post this until tomorrow! How did it get posted so extremely speedily after my last meme!?

What you are describing sounds a lot like a material constitution view of consciousness.

I think that, based on what I recall of Derek Parfit, there is a distinction that could be made between the continuity of consciousness and the connectivity. In the teletransporter problem, the continuity of your mind (or at least the body that constitutes your mind) is interrupted, and therefore your previous personal identity ends and a new one is created. However, the connectivity of your mind (relation R) is maintained, as your memory can still chart the path moment to moment as it went through the transporter.

This raises the question of which is more important, personal identity or relation R. Parfit argued that what really matters are your beliefs, memory, feelings, the things that make up your consciousness and not the body that "holds" it. Since these are maintained through relation R, you may not be "you" after going through the transporter, but everything important about you is still there.

I’m 6’3” and short among the cousins in my family. I don’t mind being a couple inches shorter in conversation. I get a little self conscious when I’m a head or more above everyone else in the room, which is a semi regular thing. I want to be shorter when I bonk my head on things that are low hanging for me. If I was any taller it would be even more difficult to find clothing.

I wouldn’t mind being a couple inches shorter, around 6 feet even.

Ah, North High. I played a bunch of flash games and watched the back half of the Naruto Chuunin Exams arc in the media center there since Cartoon Network’s website wasn’t blocked for some reason. Good times.

Time Squad. I was shocked that my mind could dredge it up after all these years.

It’s like Mr. Peabody and Sherman except instead of going back in time to educate the kid they’re time cops going back to correct history and the kid is the one who knows how it should go down. Think something like going back to colonial America and finding the founding fathers wanting to open a tea shop to have a tea party in, then coaxing them into the Boston Tea Party and kicking off the Revolutionary War.

BRIZINGA!

That was my first thought as well, but it left me wondering what elephants had to do with getting up (or something along those lines).

Man, I still think about that Humble Origin bundle sometimes. Being a broke high schooler at the time, $5 for Mirror's Edge, Crysis 2, Dead Space, and more was a helluva deal!

I've got 21 more of these memes to post over the next few weeks >:)

Southland Tales. Don’t read up on it, just get some friends (and maybe some gummies) together and press play.
