You are literally not using any of those words in their proper meaning or valiance.

valence?

You see, this is an example of how exhausting people are.

I said, "evil, bad, or weak". Frailty and weakness are synonyms. But, even though I covered it, you have to argue, because, you know, heaven forefend someone else has a point.

I gave you a winky. Poke Poke.... Umbran, brother, sometimes we give you crap because we like you. Not all families operate the same, in my family, if we ignore you, THEN you should worry.. hugs

So, while this all is true for a lot of sci-fi transport, it actually isn't entirely true for Star Trek transporters.

Canonically, a Trek transporter does take you apart, and turns you into what they something they call a "matter stream" - the stream is you physical form converted, which is then sent (still maintaining the pattern that is "you") and reassembled. Technically, they take you apart, and put you back together again out of the same stuff - you are not actually entirely different. Every bit of you from the start reaches the destination.

Thomas Ryker (eventually using William T. Ryker's middle name) arose when his transporter beam interacted with a "distortion field". To make this work in Trek physics, the information of his pattern was duplicated, and energy taken from that distortion field to provide the matter to reconstruct the second Ryker.

(this is from ST:TNG, episode "Second Chances")

So glad you beat me to this.

Yeah, that, too.

If you think this discussion is toxic, I would recommend you stay away from the entire rest of the internet.

Big "I'm gonna go eat worms" energy.

Seeing a person that I made a hat for wearing it on the GaryCon livestream, on the GenCon Twitch channel, just managed to divert me from making a post on a forum where I mod, that wouldn't likely have ended well.

I'm astounded at how many people still buy and spread 16th century landowner propaganda defense the stealing of people's property and rights as "Progress."

Wouldn't it be interesting if toxic conversations actually were toxic, and those that engaged in them for long enough eventually succumbed and perished?

That would bankrupt Twitter.
