Out of interest, would your position change if technology made it possible to live forever and - as a result of that - literally not a single human being would choose to have a new child. Would your philosophy, solely in relation to human beings change?

Secondly, what if technology literally made it possible for the suffering of sentient beings to be "abolished"?

I just wrote like, an essay on how poorly formed these questions are, but I'll instead answer them as best as I can...

Yes, given the two proposals, that would change my philosophy. However, it would be a dreadfully pointless existence (and bearing witness to the entropic heat death of the sun and having our planet destroyed as all seven billion of us live it out and subsequently float around in space completely complacent about it all doesn't sound like an existence I would want to be a part of). Additionally, we'd have to prioritize the abolition of suffering before we discover the key to immortality.

But... you see why the very notion of "no suffering" is unimaginable, right? That's what makes the questions difficult to answer seriously.

The mission for me at the point of immortality is to find myself an "off" button. I'd want to stop my immortality after the first couple thousand years, if that.

You don't "grow out" of Pokémon. You just get bored of it.

Unless you stopped because you felt pressured by your peers to do so?... In which case, you'd be a spineless pussy, but I'm sure that's not the case...

It's not that life is worthless (you're an idiot if you think that). It's that the universe would be worthless without us. Extant sentient life is all the value in the universe--and it's only because we have this capacity to suffer. As long as there are sentient beings with a capacity to suffer in existence, life will always have meaning in the universe. If all sentient life were to end, there really would be no point in the existence of the universe--but there wouldn't really need to be. That's sort of the end goal, in my eyes.

Just kidding; 2014 had no games, let alone ten.

I'm apparently the only person who hates the original trilogy and likes the prequels more.

nope

Nope, Wii U/3DS updates are pretty fast and scarce.

Well, back in like... elementary school, there would be two kids who would literally chase people down wielding mistletoe (or anything that they could find that looked like mistletoe) and raising it above two kids' heads, telling them that they have to kiss. I never fell victim to it, but the look of horror and disgust on my peers' faces when they did were priceless.

Verb, I'll slam my keyboard against what I damn well please. Not including things that could be considered domestic violence, of course.

i meant the quoting above thing lol

i had a lot of work to do that was impeded upon slightly because of smash, but um

game's pretty fun

I shall never understand people who drink and their problem with typing. I could be plastered, doing shot after shot on tinychat with people and still be able to type properly.

pretty sure people just fake it

it's just to let everyone know how cool/funny/cute you are when you're drunk

I've yet to see Godfather at all.
