  • You are changing the question to “is a perfect replica of a person considered the same person or not?”. That is not the question.

    What you experience by using a teleporter is you enter a room, and then you die. End of story. There being another replica of you somewhere does not change that you died. For an outsider they may argue whether or not you died, whether or not the replica is you, and so on. But from the perspective of someone who enters the teleportation room, it’s over. Dead.

    Meth is a product that was found, and then developed and improved in order to be better at what it does. The expertise demonstrated in the creation of Meth shouldn’t be compared to Facebook, which is just the first product to come out of a market. Facebook hasn’t developed further as a social media platform, it has developed further as a money making device.

    You could say Alcohol is the Facebook of drugs. Drugs have developed over a very long time unlike social media, so the history is much greater for this case, but the point is that alcohol, despite not being the best in all categories, is the most popular drug simply because it’s not as harmful as others (such as meth) and has been around for longer than the new, less risky alternatives (such as weed). I’m not considering coffee as a drug for this metaphor. Alcohol is making the most money not because it is good, but because the rest is mostly illegal, and/or less ingrained in social norms and traditions.

    Point is, I kind of lost myself along the way and started rambling, comparing Facebook to Meth is not fair because Meth is not socially accepted while Facebook is, maybe compare Reddit to Meth, idk


  • It may also mean that you have the type of paper that you want to print on, but the divider inside of the paper tray is set on a different size -> and then it thinks you have the wrong paper size because the paper doesn’t fit the tray size.

    Basically you either want to: put paper in the tray, change the paper in the tray to a different size, or change the position of the tray divider thing.




  • My dude, a lawyer’s job isn’t to “win” in court. The job is to represent the client and make sure that their rights are fulfilled. For a prisoner on death’s row, it might mean he gets to write a will and have a last meal or whatever, and that the method of execution will not be cruel and so on.

    Company legal firms are responsible to guide the company into those bullshit loopholes so that the company can be societally garbage but not be punished by law, and those work mostly by avoiding court cases or forcing lawsuits in unloseable cases (such as copyrights).
