So yall are just talking about baby meds for minor headaches. I'm up on that prescription grade headache medication for my debilitating migraines, and I can not take it more than a few times a month without doing irreparable damage to my kidneys and liver. Sometimes, dealing with headache pain is the healthier option.

Is there anything to do in that game other than grind?

You just haven't angered Bill Gates and his sinister cabal, so they haven't had reason to activate your 5g nano chips blocking your access to oxygen... yet.

Throw*... threw is past tense.

Yeah, but as fucked up as it is to say, Hitler actually accomplished something with his time in power worth talking a about.

I have no problem tipping wait staff or bartenders for the service, but I'll be damned if the cashier at my local Chinese restaurant is getting a tip because they handed me a bag of carryout food I ordered online... tipping has definitely gotten out of control.

A quote from one of my Drill Sergeants that has always stuck with me:

"Just when you think they've got something foolproof, they have to go and invent a better fool."

Said to me through a facepalm as we watched a private plant a claymore mine facing the wrong way... and for anyone unaware, the claymore mine literally has the words "back" written on one side and "front towards enemy" written on the other.

Edit: fixed spelling

As a child, I was heavy into Star Wars and always meh on Star Trek. As an adult, I'm still heavy into Star Wars, but I have warmed significantly to Star Trek and really enjoy it now. I think I just didn't fully understand Star Trek as a child. They're very different, but both are great.

George Lucas always said he hates it when people call Star Wars SciFi as he always considered it to be a space opera with very little Sci and heavy on the Fi.

But are you sure you do?

Or even simpler things that people take for granted, like antibiotics, which weren't discovered until 1942 and weren't widely available until 1945. Can you imagine how awful things like strep throat or a minor infection were to deal with before penicillin.

Have they never been to a restaurant, retail shop in a downtown area, or countless other businesses? My local hospital even has awnings over some of the entrances.

So they have a different name for it, but awnings are fairly universal... at least in every country I've ever traveled to.

How do you not know what an awning is?

Just wait until you hit forty, and you'll have most, if not all, of those.

It makes no difference in the sense that a version of you would still exist, but for the version of you that ceases to exist, I'd think it would matter to them. The movie The Prestige from 2006 somewhat illustrates my point on this.

It is still you, just not the same you that you were before being killed and cloned. Look at it this way, if the technology existed for me to make a perfect clone copy of you with all your abilities, memories, and flaws exactly as they are, but in order to do so I would need to remove and liquefy your brain but otherwise leaving your body intact, then the you that you currently are would cease to exist. To the outside world and everyone in it, the clone of you would still be considered you as it would be indistinguishable from the original, but the you that was you before the cloning process is now a brainless corpse back in my lab.

If you die, you're dead. The clone that appears on the other end, while being identical in every way, wouldn't be the same you that you are and wouldn't possess the same consciousness, an identical consciousness yes, but not the same one.

But didn't Scotty store himself in the buffer for a ridiculously long period of time?

Edit: I just looked it up, and in the episode of TNG "Relics," his shuttle crashed into the Dyson sphere on its way to his retirement community. With no supplies and little chance of rescue, he stored himself in the transporter buffer for 75 years until his crash was discovered.

Preemptive strike without formal declaration of war signed by congress and without congressional or U.N. approval. Plus, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and several of their legal advisors were charged and found guilty of war crimes in foreign courts for endorsing torture and cruel, inhumane, and degrading treatment of P.O.W.s but the ICC (international criminal court) decided not to pursue the matter even though they had ample evidence cause Murica.
