  • I can confirm from kbin to the degree it matters the original poll post is listed as “deleted_by_author” in my comments page, manually opening the URL for the page shows no comments, only the total number of favorites and reduces (possibly only the reduces from kbin specifically as the split shown is 71 up/2 down which is much different than the listed number of down in other comments)











  • One thing to consider, assuming the red one is mental time travel (which is the only way it’d really be at all useful), you’re essentially murdering everyone who exists from your subjective present to the jump point to replace with at best very similar clones and possibly no one or completely different people. Then you have to also assume the timeline isn’t fixed and you can actually change things, and thus contend with butterfly effect causing divergence making your knowledge less useful. Sure, little changes probably won’t impact things on a global scale for a while, but once you start doing big things like investing or preventing terrorist attacks or something that could cause major divergence. Ethically any kind of useful time travel should be limited to “World is already wiped out” scale scenarios where the alternative is worse.


  • There’s also a woman who at least claimed to be a Jet addict since before the kid was even born in the same game. Is it possible her brain was just fried and she was projecting her current fix over all her past problems? Maybe. But whether it was the original intention at the time or a retcon, at this point he must have been bullshitting to some degree. Most generous possible reading with current available facts is something like “discovered a process to mass produce an existing but potentially rare prewar Chem with postwar tech and claimed to have done the whole thing”
