New disks?

They haven't made floppies for years now, iirc.

The "reverse Midas touch", everything he touches turned to putrid shit.

I disagree. You're pretty on target with that.

The diversity we have as a species is -and always has been- our greatest strength. It means a subset of us can usually do at least "ok" under any given situation.

The same thing is what made some poxy little island able to rule a vast swathe of the planet. The UK took the best of everything it encountered, and added it to it's own, like the Borg. Of course, like everywhere else that's run by plutocrats, in an effort to keep us all divided anything "foreign" is currently bad, and to be shunned.

Captive market. Easy prey.

Call it what you want, those with no morals have no boundaries. This is what laws are supposed to prevent, but y'know, the sociopaths have normalised greed and gluttony, and made it the "dream" of a nation.

It decays, like the physical body. Entropy comes for everything in the end.

"Ignorance is bliss"

That would be the consciousness that lives in the meat puppet, the experiences of life shaping it the whole time.

Not a soul, per se, just an accident of physics. Something as yet unquantifiable, but definitely something. Quite possibly something involving quantum physics, which would explain the difficulty in determining what makes us, us.

We've discovered that a number of life forms appear to use quantum effects in some way, the ones I remember were navigation oriented (ba dum tish). Having existing examples of biology making use of the quantum world makes the idea much less of a stretch.

Food for thought. 💛

I had one of the 23 machines in the world that ran Windows ME flawlessly. :(

You owe me a coffee and a new keyboard.
