Those bots are worth blocking. There never appears to be any discussion on the posts, so you won't miss anything.

Land. Sexual partners. Values/morality. Those are the big two (and a half) that I could see.

Until VR is perfected (to the degree touch/taste/smell/sight/auditory/proprioception/etc. all match exactly what reality would deliver), things like views (wouldn't you want your house to be on the shore of Malibu?), proximity to activities (if everyone suddenly found themselves wanting to be a surfer, the beaches will become pretty crowded), proximity to others (whether that's immense crowding of folks into massive cities, or the loners who would want space and again, views [like of forested hills]) and other similar concepts would still motivate people to be in conflict. There would definitely still be winners/losers in all of those areas.

I'd say the sexual partners idea speaks for itself. Even as we appear to be at the zenith of sexual freedom in the west, there are lots of problems (such as incels/the concept of incels) cropping up that cause conflict. Probably a small chance of giant, intercontinental conflict, but who knows.

And we already see the imposition of values or morality by laws. I very seriously doubt that would diminish. Perhaps unlimited energy and whatever-matter-on-demand-you-want would allow people to move to where others' thoughts align with theirs, but if you could get away from local imposition of opposing values, it would be setting the stage for regions then being in conflict. Would a faction that believed homosexuality was the source of remaining human suffering allow their neighbor to engage in free love? I think we have our answer already in the form of genocides that have occurred in the world; ones where divisions were drawn based on nearly arbitrary lines. Throw pseudo-religious ideas/values into that mix, and you have yourself a war.

Definitely not true. I have a relative with a truck similar to the pictured one, and the rear tires are around 85 psi. If the individual thinks they need tow-worthy tires, they can definitely get them.

Aye. Too many of the suggested responses either a.) are wildly out of what another person would consider reasonable, increasing your chances of losing if it goes to a court or being assaulted by said asshole, and b.) don't have any connection to the actual offense, and the asshole would never know why, without a doubt, that the action was taken.

In the real words of ER docs everywhere, "Everybody dies of shock."

Don't kink shame the bass-in-ass folks!

Yeah, that "technically no legal consequences" though is a thin thread that's protecting you. It was being discussed on another thread.

Also, if consumed in large quantities, can give you gout. It's an interesting little quirk of the pathway involving fructose.

Well, she could at least fix my plumbing. That's a pretty good skill.

It's interesting how different people respond. I remember changing into the tunic/robe, and then nothing. I don't even remember leaving the pre-op room, just waking up in the post-op hallway in one of about 20 beds.

Worm is great! Somehow, I started with the first few chapters of someone else's fan-fic set in the worm-verse, and later found Worm. I was so incredibly confused for a while on what was real (by the original author) and what was the fiction.
