He was also going to murder his parents who are not at fault for his pathetic stupidity.

Cryogenics hasn't used straight freezing for many years. Instead they vitrify people, which causes a different unsolved problem. Now the cells aren't turned to mush but the body is full of a toxic cryoprotectant.

death is a pretty serious condition. fatal in 100% of cases. even assuming we "cure" cancer and everything else, the person still died of death.

I don't understand why this was being recorded. Even if it's intended as a remote class livestream, why does she do it against the background of a big road?

It’s because she knew there was a coup going on and wanted people to smash those ‘like’ and ‘share’ buttons. The English captions are a lie.

I mean, you want to go that route, have them kill you, section your entire brain at 50 micron resolution, then EM scan every synapse in your head. can do this now just very expensive and time consuming and would generate a huge amount of data (connectomics) the issue is we dont have a very good idea of how the brain works so reconstituting your connectome in silico based on the operating principles of the brain at the molecular level (not to mention all the emergent poo poo) is/wont be feasible any time soon freezing is stupid as a means to live forever also the ones who want to live forever are the ones that we should probably not allow to live forever lol

I read it over 10 years ago but I also remember finding it hard to follow. My 2 year old daughter was watching a Peppa Pig video on the ipad and i took it from her (like literally had to pry it out of her hands) and she starts screaming to my wife "daddy took my book!" (probably because instead of reading paper books we use an app that has thousands of kids books)

I genuinely think being able to read a book & comprehend the story is a vital part of developing your brain. A lot of people seem to disagree.

Trainee PornStar posted:I agree.. I genuinely think being able to read a book & comprehend the story is a vital part of developing your brain. In the 19th century people called reading novels a frivolous, brain-wasting exercise that distracted young men and women with flights of fancy, afflicted them with daydreams, and generally corrupted them away from a proper life. https://crimereads.com/when-the-novel-was-dangerous/ quote:Novels took the noble pleasure of reading and made it something quick and dirty. They told exciting stories in simple prose, not poetry. Their heroes were not kings or demigods, but maidservants and mariners, who instead of going on magical quests faced the inward challenges that readers knew from their own lives. Accordingly, the English novel of the 18th century is virtually all sex and social climbing, set in haunted castles later on. The reputation of the books was low, but circulating libraries kept their addict audience supplied. So I think the two ways you can interpret this are either a) we're just on an endless downward spiral into sinfulness and ereaders and twitter are just the latest steps into vice in a long chain or b) this is just the latest idiotic moral panic about the degeneracy of the youth's idle activities from people who remember When Things Were Done Better.
