I’m going to get my chicken coop painted one way or another
Lol @ me being reincarnated as a cat. I can’t pay bills sorry
They’d track you until you’re reincarnated into a paying body again.
Making sure to add LCI, or lifetime compound interest.
And service charges related to tracking each reincarnation
And by “track” you mean they’d kill you over and over till you roll human.
slavery genocide all the turtle down.
Dont even remember past lives
Spent 178 years as various insects and sea creatures
Still owe $244’000 on a used honda civic rusting in a scrapyard in a completely different country
about a day
I’d give it 11 minutes.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Well that’s generous
Nah. The 24 hour window is so all the rich, connected people can apply for some grandfathered exemption clause that’s not available to the rest of us.
Fuckers
Well they only operate in the “business day.” Which means after 5pm they’re more vulnerable and that’s when we must strike
I would say they would be the one to prove you can track reincarnation.
I miss Altered Carbon. So much.
Too bad it was only one season long.
There were two seasons, but there were three books.
No, I distinctly remember there being only one season.
The second season had Idris Alba. I don’t know if you’re doing a bit like “There’s no season 9 of scrubs” but there’s definitely a season 2 of altered carbon and it slaps.
It was Anthony Mackie and it wasn’t good, at least not in comparison to the first season.
Shit, you’re right. I have no idea how I mixed those two up. And honestly I think it was a bit better personally, they went all out on budget and it was apparently the reason Netflix dropped them.
Debt bondage is slavery, but it’s still a thing unfortunately.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debt_bondage
It’s the opposite of Jubilee, in that debts are literally forever, rather than released every seven years.
And class action lawsuits for damages caused in previous lives. Started a war? Polluted the land? Several million people want compensation. Can’t pay now? No problem, several lifetimes to pay off that debt.
Yeah thank god we’re not doing that kind of magical thinking.
Rich people would probably set something up so that their future incarnation inherits their wealth, since it’s statistically likely that they’d be reincarnated as someone poorer. I could also imagine a much stronger push to bring the birthrate up even at the cost of using unethical means to force it, because if the population decreases, there wouldn’t be enough children born for an increasingly large percentage to reincarnate into
Considering the Rich tend to control governments, this would result in shit like a ban on contraception and abortion, mayhaps legally requiring everyone have a minimum amount of children.
…do republicans know something we don’t?
I just want to know that the Nauvoo is all about
Nah, they just want more low paid workers.
My first thought was Cruelty Squad tbh.
I used to play bass for Altered Carbon.
I used to play Hell Let Loose for cheese
I played bass for ur mom. It was the old one string gourd bass.
Edit:
Hell, I almost forgot. She played my gourd bass ocarina like a pro.
Edit 2:
I took a picture of it.
But can she play washtub bass as well as Emmet Otter?
Bro, you should have been there. I’m telling you. I’ve never seen anyone go to town on a gourd bass ocarina like she did.
She said that she’d never played one before, but I’ve heard that one before too.
I have no idea of the context or even if there is any, but this kind of utterly directionless chirping and unwarranted shittalking is the reason I love the Internet.

Hey, you have paid taxes in your first life! The IRS department of past life tax recovery is awaiting your presence
Yeah, but it could also fix some things regarding racism, sexism, ableism, trans issues, immigration, geographic disadvantages etc. Maybe climate change?
Suicide would be an epidemic.
Pretty sure that would result in negative karma, and thus the new reincarnated form would be even less desirable.
There was no indication that karma or any such system was included, you included that into the scenario and it is therefore invalid.
There would be people racing to get to the simplest organism incapable of sentience if there were a karmic system.
That’s what the basis of reincarnation is about though… karma. You do good deeds, your karma level goes up, you get a better reincarnated life in the future. Likewise, the opposite is true as well.
Karma is an aspect of the Hindu and Buddhist reincarnation beliefs. They do not have sole ownership of the concept of reincarnation.
If they had said “What if Hinduism is right and reincarnation is real?” then that would be a different scenario. They only put forth that the concept of reincarnation was real.
Ah I see what you mean now. Eh, regardless I’m sure the universe would have some sort of similar karmic system in place to prevent thatt suicidal loop hole.
There’s no secular reason to think that the universe would care, or that a universe capable of caring would see it as a problem.
Depends on what version of reincarnation we’re talking about.
Like what, a paramecium or baker’s yeast or something? At least I can’t have a collection agency coming after me then
The word “desirable” in the context of human-only reincarnation opens a whole other can of worms
Everyone will reroll for better stats
Optimistic of you to think people wouldn’t use it as an excuse to be even MORE discriminatory. There would be Ultra-Whites who could claim they were never non-white in the past X years, with seniority by how far back they can trace their reincarnated whiteness. And of course there would be new religions claiming that if you follow them you’ll be reincarnated into the race/environment of your choice.
Maybe. I just thought it was an interesting opportunity to put the “veil of ignorance” to the test.
Odds are you aren’t going to be reincarnated as a white person though. Seems like they would cut the shit out the first time they are reincarnated as something different.
They will do year earlier
The real question is, does the interest go on hold till you reincarnate. Or does it keep accruing.
Interest never stops accruing
You have to ask? It keeps accruing!
Zulie the Witch has me watching videos that deep dive into lore and filenames for games I’ve never even played, good channel.
