This comment is just arrogant enough to sound enlightened and so absurd that it's rage bait for anyone that has done any actual work in the field. Perfect trolling my friend. Chef's kiss.

I'm going through another cycle of binging EVERYTHING. Yes he did transport regularly, but he also certainly complained about it multiple times. Orders are orders in the end. Sometimes the hardest part of keeping a job is bottling up and repressing all those little existential horrors.

Cory Doctorow vibes.

I'm on the fence: pro-transporter, anti-disintegration. If transporter technology existed without the suicide booth aspect and I could just send a copy of myself halfway around the globe in an instant I'd do it. Biggest problem I see is funding all the new clones of me running around. If there was somehow a way for us all to sync our memories occasionally without melting our consciousness that would be cool too.

Hoodies aren't exactly new technology. Pretty sure hooded upper garments with laces predate pea coats.

Not being able to identify a railroad crossing without a gate is a failing of the car not the train. Gated crossings are not guaranteed, nor should they be because they don't make sense for every situation in which roads and tracks cross.

That's not true.

The vote doesn't matter if the governor can just veto it like they did the monorail bill.

Ok maybe veto isn't the perfect word, but that amounts to what actually happened. Doesn't matter how the governor killed it. Florida voters wanted the constitutional amendment and Bush killed it by referendum without the voters having any further say.

Then there was the travesty of the Bush/Gore election.

Florida voters know that their vote does not count.
