You can't just leave it at that. We need to hear why a grilled cheese is NOT a sandwich.

According to him, it doesn’t qualify as a sandwich because a sandwich needs at least one substantial piece of food. He doesn’t see cheese as this because he views cheese as only a topping, comparing it to mustard and ketchup in that you only put cheese on other food. Since it’s only cheese, it’s two naked pieces of bread with a topping in between, and says this is as much of a sandwich as a burger bun with only ketchup is a ‘burger’.

This argument happened at the work cafe btw, and we asked the chef to chime in. The chef verbatim said “it’s called, a grilled cheese SANDWICH!” But he still refused to concede.

Even if the transporter kills you why does it matter? Your consciousness dies every night when you go to sleep anyway and a new one is born when you wake up accessing all the old memories. It’s the same deal but with a new but identical body too

One time me and my older sister got into an embarrassingly heated argument about whether or not mouse+KB were more or less friendly for left handed people than regular controllers for video games. It was the day after our dads funeral, which simultaneously explains it and makes it more embarrassing.

Also I like the oxford comma

I absolutely hate mouse and keyboard. I'm sure someone has found a mapping they like, but I always just end up using the default controls and bending my thumb around under my hand to hit space. If there's controller support, I always, always opt for that.

I also avoid mice with the buttons on the side because they are always quickly annoying on my pinkie.

Well, it would if it actually worked the way the show says it does. But it clearly doesn't and is in fact a magic teleportation device.

The shows and movies show people maintaining full consciousness and awareness during transport to the point of holding conversations between departure and arrival, not only does it not kill you but you're more certain of your living status than you are when falling asleep.


I mean exactly, if a malfunction kills you (while experiencing extreme pain mid-transport, at that) then logically the normal working of the transporter doesn't kill you.

Yes, it does, and it makes an exact duplicate of you to take your place. This is a problem, because when the last one dies and goes to heaven, they will find that there are possibly hundreds of copies already up there, all vaguely confused. And based upon life choices, some of them may be hell-bound as well...

the soul is not material, only your first transporter death is real, the rest are soulless replicants

and by the way, a single transport kills and clones you a trillion times in an instant, it’s not just one death

A gift for a left handed person

edit to clarify, the argument was about if we should impulse buy a "gamer" mouse for our left handed cousin we had just seen while window shopping before dinner. I said a controller would probably be more appreciated. And thus, the argument.

im left handed and I can’t imagine using a mouse with the left hand — it physically pains me to consider it. like, how could you gently caress up being left-handed that much? Do these people try to shift their (american) cars with their left hand too???
