You just generalized a huge side of the political spectrum as simple minded racists. Then you said that for that reason, their problems don’t matter.

Don’t you see a problem with that?

Nah that’s because they locked a second “transporter beam” onto the pattern while it was in transit, thus basically making a copy. Normally it’s supposed to turn your matter into energy in a specific pattern, then move that energy to another location and turn it into matter again.

Now, in my opinion, in our universe, the end result is the same - your continuous consciousness is interrupted/ended and an identical copy of you is created somewhere else. But we’re talking about the star trek universe, where thoughts are apparently at the very basis of physics and can directly influence the universe, especially anything to do with “subspace”. So it’s safe to say that consciousness exists on an additional, metaphysical layer other than just your corporeal form.

Also, there are multiple cases of people being turned into “pure energy” and retaining their consciousness somehow, so I dont see how a transporter would necessarily be different.

FYI: Most cheese doesn’t have any lactose. You can check the nutrition label for sugar.

We don’t know that microplastics are that harmful yet.

I mean they are, we just don’t know it yet.

Well, I very rarely use them, but the special is supposedly really good on commando. Lots of damage, high proc coefficient, and his specials aren’t really an integral part of his build (unlike Rex or Engineer for example).
