Is it me functioning or is it a clone?

Could you toss some ice cubes in there?

I largely tuned out of climate change news a long time ago. I still care about it. I vote for it and have donated relatively large amounts of money to environmental charities. But otherwise nothing I do makes a difference.

Yeah, now reddit can't really promote the final version of this one

The general idea is a teleporter rips you apart and the atoms go to the destination to be reassembled in the previous state.

Whether or not it kills you is speculation. Arguably you're pretty dead if you're ripped apart atom by atom, and then a clone is assembled using the same parts.

But I don't think it's answerable if the recreated "you" is a clone or not until people can figure out what the mind even is.

Overly simplistic take.

Protest ≠ boycott.

Hoping for change vs just giving up.

So why are you participating in a reddit community on lemmy then?

It's such an oversimplification, it's insane. "YoUrE sTiLl uSiNg ReDdIT"

I wonder if people with that same sentiment go to picketing protestors and yell at them, "Just quit!!"

As if the idea of trying to promote change rather than immediately giving up and moving on is anathema to them.

I never stopped using Firefox

I'm interested to know which accounts to follow for lemmy news. Seems like a natural place to go when having trouble connecting like I did with fmhy before and shit just works recently.
