Real answer here. It can't be too gross if you want people watching your movie, though.

Tearful? Jesus Christ, somebody's lost all sense of proportion.

Fun fact: You have to give PII including street address to get a refund, and they reserve the right to do whatever they want with it as per their privacy policy.

Which version? If all you need is an uncoordinated, dopey person, I'm right here. /s

If undeath is required, no. It's not even a concept that makes much sense without mind-body dualism, which is all but ruled out scientifically.

Yeah, but I don't want to have an app on my phone for a store I go to once. I don't give a fuck if the page is ugly.

Eventually, it lost its human scale, residential population, vitality, sense of safety, and most of its sunshine. An equal amount of effort, she says, will be required to turn it back into neighbourhoods once again.

Some of these seem like weird issues to take. Our civilisation is an intrinsically larger than human scale undertaking; if you want to avoid that, you pretty much have to go back into the wild. Similarly, every tall downtown is shaded, because of the square cube law of basic geometry. Honestly it's impressive how much light we do manage to let in.

I assume it's a switcharoo scenario. Otherwise where does the air in my new location go?

Yep. Small ones that still hosted communities also had a high attrition rate - I was in some of them.

Given the other parties on the board who haven't objected, too fast. It sounds like he lied about some sort of AI safety thing.
