But uhhh, you can climb ladders.

Flying used to be a "luxury boondoggle for the rich" same with a lot of things that we view as common today.

"The government should control all of our actions to prevent civil unrest, it's for the greater good!"

Yeah really, keying the car is a huge overreaction. If you want to fuck with them just surround their car with shopping carts.

No, they are arguing that everything is technically technology. So we should turn this community into a basket weaving forum.

Is this really world news?

There's a huge difference between a "book burning" and "burning a single book"

So the interesting part in my mind for this is that you would die and be gone, there would just exist another entity that can perfectly replicate you. Take for example the case of there being two of you, which one is the real one? The original? What if I kill the original? Does the new one become the real you? But what if I don't kill you but let the duplicate replace your life. Are you the real you trapped in some cell, or is the duplicate the real you living your life?

My point really is that it's all a matter of perspective. For everyone else the clone would be the real you, but from your perspective you are the real you and the clone stole your life.

It wouldn't have to be communism. We could do it in the US today without changing capital ownership. The government would just have a lot less money to spend on anything else (how much this would be is up for debate).

I mean, car manufacturers do this. And it's much easier to buy a car than a gun.

How about y'all go build houses and toilets for some uncontacted tribe and force them to change their lifestyles?

Kinda off topic but I was so surprised when I visited Colombia and found poor communities living in shacks on the beach. Their properties are worth 10s of millions of US dollars and they refuse to sell because they don't want to give up the lifestyle and community that they have. Really puts into perspective how wrong we can be when we think we are helping people.

Sounds like a good way to get shot in some states.
