  • I’ve never used an ink-tank printer, but I’ve read that they have “pads” that wear out, and some ink-tank printers require you to throw away the entire printer when that happens. Doesn’t sound too great.

    Also, inkjets suffer a lot of clogging, smearing, and other such problems stemming from the use of liquid ink. These problems go away (temporarily, at least) when you replace the ink cartridge, but how do you solve them when there’s no ink cartridge and the print head is part of the printer?






  • So, the people you have in mind don’t believe in free will? Isn’t that kind of un-Christian?

    And if they believe that humans don’t have free will, then what’s the point of all the “SINNERS!” and punishment and threats of hell and whatnot? None of us are in meaningful control of our actions, so trying to coerce us to change those actions obviously isn’t going to work.

    Also, if we’re all inherently evil, then we’re all going to hell regardless, so this whole religion is kinda pointless, no?


  • Can’t confirm. When I was young and hanging out in online chat rooms, I regarded the others as real and experienced a full range of emotions toward them. They were my acquaintances, friends, crushes, or enemies. Definitely didn’t see them as NPCs. If I had, I would never have had such strong feelings about any of them.

    But that’s just me. Others’ mileage may vary.
