So we are not going to heaven, hell or reincarnation (or any combintion of these). We are going to be garbage collected. And what if there is a tiny bug? Will I be immortal if I somehow can prevent my destructor ever being executed? Or if I always have a few other people who keep a reference?

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

You're not dead as long as someone still remembers you. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

and does it mean there is a god?
We could also get re-used, I guess...

I just looked out my window and saw GAME OVER plastered all over the sky. I wonder what happens now?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I play life on hard mode, permadeath on, neutral birth options.
I'm aiming for one of those grim-dark endings with lots of robots and Warhammer 40K references.
Doing great so far, and haven't even died once!
I'm not a big fan of the pay2win mechanics though. Kinda ruins the gameplay.

I give it a 999,999,999 in a billion chance that he watched The Matrix last night

lol. He probably watches it to psyche himself up for another day of being too cool for the rest of us

But do you code shite? For your sake, I hope not.

I wondered why there was a big red sign saying "LEVEL 2" when I reached 1,000,000 rep points!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I think I'm a curly brace short of a function...
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

Are You Living in a Simulation?[^]

We Are living in computer simulations.
The computer is our brain, and everything we see, hear, feel, etc, is composited there.
Who knows what the world really looks like?

I had a dream once... more of a nightmare, that I was playing quake and I was the character in the game, and someone shot a rocket at me and I realized that it wasn't a dream and a game, but that it was real (in my dream) and caught such a big fright knowing that if the rocket hit me I'm dead that I woke up almost like Leonardo di caprio in the movie inception where I went into a state where a had to spin something as to make sure that I was actually in the real reality and not in inception.
What I learned from that experience is that life is not a game, so don't screw with it.

Nooooooooooooooooooooo
I don´t want to be a computer simulation!!!!!
|
|
|
|
|
Why Not?
What difference does it make?
|
|
|
|
|
Sorry, my low level of English prevents me from maintaining a deep conversation, so I'll be brief:
Surely no difference, a simulation does not know that it is being simulated.
It is, above all, a psychological desire. I want to really exist. I want to have soul. I don't want to be a hologram, or executable code.
My life should make sense, else what I'm doing here?
If I'm not real, I want to kill the matrix architect.

Strongly recommended:
Realtime Interrupt: James P. Hogan: 9780671578848: Amazon.com: Books[^]
This story is not quite being a computer simulation, but about living in a computer simulation. Or... Is is reality? How would you find out? When you exit the simulation, how do you know that you are back to reality?
I known people who have had sleeping problems after reading this novel. Admittedly, it is somewhat "creepy". But fascinating. Like all James P Hogan novels, it is very well researched, carrying a lot of real expert knowledge, with a logically consistent story. And just slightly across the border to Science Fiction: You are left with a feeling that this could be real reality in just a few years.

we are a computer simulation != high possibility we are computer simulation
