Fear mongering nonsense. Did anyone feel that way when infant mortality went way down?

You’ll have other people the same “old” as you to hang out with. Many people say they “feel 25” inside, well guess what, now we can make your body align with that.

We already have “anti-aging” compared to how people aged, say, two hundred or two thousand years ago.

Besides, “immortality” is an absolute, you can always choose to unalive yourself if you feel so strongly about Pokemon Platinum. No Greek-style tragedy of the “immortal” who can’t kill themselves.

Seems to me there is a lot more in life that can be enjoyed with a few extra centuries.

Or even better, a Logan’s Run style of extended youth for your “allotted” four score and ten, then poof! Carousel. No aging, no senescence, no frailty, sickness, disease, waning sense and shrinking brains, just extended 20-something for 60 years, then ZAAP!

I’ll take that over the meandering aging nonsense of how I’m supposed to revel in my aging carcass.

PS: There is no soul. Just complex patterns in a vat of neurons.

I remember SETI@home and folding@home… SETI I think is a dead end, but understanding our genome and proteome and how constantly recycled ageless atoms somehow manage to encode “age” is something I really want to know.

Aging sucks. I think with the tremendous computing resources presently wasted on vapid AI slop and endless fart videos, we could instead use it for anti-aging research.

I think it was based on the 1960s VTR connector on studio equipment, or Cinch-Jones connectors from WWII. Quite large, yes. I think the connector could carry composite as well as RGB signals, and have various pass through modes.

You have spindles of spindles? That counts, yes.

When I was a kid I thought computers would be useful.

Try a 1980s Genicom with separate containers for toner and waste toner.

She was pretty hot in ReBoot

I have one, and I’m in North America… I saw it at a thrift store and recognized it, not something I expected to see at a Goodwill.

lollers I was just going through my stuff and agonizing if I should chuck my XP stuff.

Can we also stop with the quasar-bright fucking white LEDs on every fucking thing in existence?

Yeah sadly now it’s the 6 o’clock news.

The original at least had some levity.

I feel like watching Disturbed’s cover of Land of Confusion again.

Wow, so when you cut yourself shaving, it bleeds like in the WWE, you go to the ER, and it takes months to heal?

It nicked his ear. He bled a bit. It healed. Besides, he’s old, how could you spot a scar among the hair, wrinkles, and moles?

We’re big bags of water, but ears are thin flaps of skin. Guess what? That pressure wave probably moved the ear out of the way.

Sheesh, what personal soap opera are you invested in so that you can’t see the absurdity of your position?

What is it defying?

I don’t think I’m “at par” with Microsoft, what kind of sickness is this? Your brain fascinates me.

“There is a reason no one serious uses win 7 online anymore”

Oh I see, you are a serious person doing serious business. Serious serious serious. Meanwhile not a single concrete example has been given to me about these serious things I can’t do.

“Same reason cars without seatbelts are few on the roads.”

There is no overlap between the physical world and software delusions. There is no physical safety hazard here. Meanwhile, millions of motorcyclists use no seatbelts.

Again, your brain is fascinating.

So basically, you derive your identity from this.

Bad news if you’re a tiger, I guess.
