Well, I’m thinking along the lines of Sun Tzu’s general philosophy of “Don’t kill needlessly.” It’s why China will never nuke Taiwan; they want its semiconductor factories and other resources, including human labor. Same with the US and Russia, perhaps… By the way, I am strictly in this scenario talking about military application, not merely home defense/individuals fighting. I could have clarified that from the start, I’m now realizing, so my mistake.
I wasn’t even high!
Don’t rain on my parade! 😭
Stupidity is a good-enough reason for that!
Because converting your enemy to further do your bidding is way better than just killing them, of course!
Those are the ones that were still beneficial!

That reminds me… let me post another shower thought…
Well, they’re not mine and rather evil mega corps’ or PMCs’ from MGS, but yeah, that’s what I had in mind…
Thanks, that’s fine. I don’t think it’ll be a problem at all, since I read the entire plot summary to The Substance and was still floored upon watching it (though apparently some of the wording in the article was confusing so I didn’t even understand the whole plot lol).
What do you mean by “believe?” They’re already out there; do you not follow the news? https://www.inside.lk/lifestyle/health/microscopic-robots-offer-new-hope-for-treating-clogged-arteries/
Or, again, injects nanobots through that stinger, which then take control of your body. Why let a perfectly fine slave body go to waste by dying?
When I say, “their bodies are yours,” I’m talking about the nanobots being used to mind-control or pacify them, not kill them.
Gimme the spoiler tag! I wanna watch this!
Why would you destroy potentially useful human resources?
I’ve actually never seen that! I guess I’ve gotta, now!
He doesn’t need their “votes” anymore. So he doesn’t give a shit.
This actually brings up a good point: each new president should be on probation for their first year, with people being able to re-vote the next year if things don’t go how they expected (I know, I know, but I’m just speaking in general).
As in, you’re constantly downloading more and more?
pissing around with network shares.
What? Why is that a concern when we have tools like Transfer, Mozilla Send instances, etc.? I literally even just use Bluetooth at times.
I once had a USB flash drive break because the exterior detached from the rest of the body in the housing by, like, 1mm while pulling it out; all the files on it were instantly, permanently lost. I will never again use physical file-transfering that involves frequent insertion and removal if I can avoid it, because you’re physically stressing the unit every time you pull on it (a drive that is always connected is totally fine, by comparison).
Why did you give me Simple Wiki? lol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropic_principle
