It is still possible to use regular transportation at a similar cost as today

I think similarly...

Hypothetically: I spent my childhood and early teens using teleportation machines and I never had an issue. As a teenager, I learn about people who are strongly opposed to teleportation. People around me talk negatively about these people, and are perhaps annoyed at the laws that are made to accommodate those who choose not to teleport. They are seen as a nuisance because they complicate workplace dynamics because they don't want to do something simple and convenient that most in society do. The belief they hold makes most people uncomfortable because of the philosophical implication.

So, as a teenager, I realize that to become a 'non-teleporter' I need to accept that I have already chosen to destroy myself multiple times, and that my family and friends who leave are not the same that come back. It would be so difficult to make this philosophical mind-shift and stop teleporting so that copy #4,242 gets to live.

What if:

1. It is physically impossible to make a copy
2. Your family and friends use it daily

I am thinking of a case where it is 'disintegration' and 're-integration', but making use of some physics that prevent making a copy. For example, let's say that the mechanism relies on a step for which the 'no-cloning theorem' applies. In this hypothetical scenario, a commonly held belief is that the inability to make a copy retains the person's identity. It is a similar logic to how a person remains who they are from childhood and through adulthood despite the atoms that compose them changing over time.

Age verification and other anti-privacy rules?

I tried to make a comment on that site and it was simply not possible for me to do it while implementing basic privacy-preserving techniques like using a VPN or even through a pre-paid sim card. I think that their 'anti-bot/anti-spam' mechanisms push users to de-anonimize quite strongly. Honey pot makes sense to me.

Chlorine for water treatment. Cheap and useful where clean water is difficult to come by and where water is stored for long term use. Also very common to buy if you have a pool. But maybe for middle class households it is not as common of an item - except perhaps in areas were pools are common enough in middle-class homes.

Just a guess!

We are asked to use Projects to manage our work, and we then mapped the project's structure into a folder structure using sharepoint. The thing is, this structure leads to very long file paths, and Windows won't let us open the files using the file explorer because the file path is too long, and so we need to search stuff through sharepoint, download as zip files, and end up breaking the intended organization. The projects page helps create the illusion of organization for the higher-ups but in reality it is a hindrance. We don't have admin access to the computer and so we can't change this file path limit setting. This is just the first that came to mind of an endless list of complaints I have.
