  • 20+ years ago, and I definitely would not have consented to shit then that I love now.

    Yes, but past you did consent to shit back then (loans, etc) that affect you today, whether or not you love it. So what's the difference if the timeline is reversed?

  • From a legal perspective, the you of today is the same individual as the you of ten years in the future. And the you of today is perfectly capable of making binding decisions affecting future you, so my question is, why not vice versa.

    Or if you want to make it easier - if you could send a message back to yesterday, should you be allowed to do something legally binding on behalf of yesterday's you?

  • If I ever change my mind then so too does the status of the consent.

    Not really. I'm not talking about just sex here. There's plenty of legally binding stuff you can't withdraw from one you've agreed to them.

    They're two physically separate bits of mass

    What if tomorrow you was sending messages back in time to make arrangements on your behalf?

    with different opinions on the situation

    Yes, ask anybody who wakes up the next morning with a killer hangover if they have a different opinion of the situation.

  • Yes, but this question relies on the premise that they ARE the same individual, at different points in the person's life.

    Put it another way, past you can and does give consent on behalf of future you all the time. Assuming time travel ever became a real thing, there's an argument to be made that they're closely equivalent.

  • That's a really weird philosophical question... Can future you consent to stuff on present you's behalf?

    Edit: Everybody seems to think I'm talking about sex for some reason. I'm talking in the general sense of 'legally binding stuff like contracts'.

  • Yeah, that sounds really shitty. I can see why you overreacted to the joke that way. Sorry for being the trigger for your ptsd today. Hope things keep getting better for you.

  • That's what happens whenever a prepper's spouse realises how much money they wasted.

  • Also probably don't just wander around brandishing a machete and a fucking handgun.

    I got chased off a block once because I had a walking stick, a well shaped tree branch, that some other gaggle of hobos interpreted as an inherent weapon and threat.

    Isn't that exactly why you need the machete and handgun?

  • It has no context provided. Nothing in the rules requires that it be a mystery.

  • Bet the Cambodian leader is wishing he hadn't messed with Thailand internal politics right about now

  • Me, I'm the stupid

  • Jesus, people, learn to not piss off others if you're trying to effect change for the better.

  • Did your periods (.) also escape along with the hydrogen?

  • It's trash for you. It works for them because it keeps you on their pages longer

  • He asked 'which community', all you had to do was tell him an example of the !community@instance where you were seeing the issue. He didn't ask for a custom link. The only skill issue here is coming from you.

  • Eh, even today, in Malaysia you aren't allowed to leave the religion if you were born into it, and if there's a Muslim / non-Muslim marriage the non has to convert. So yeah, the practice of forcing people into Islam is still very much alive today.
