you ever walk by a mirror and get a glance at yourself and remember "oh yeah I'm not a girl in real life" and want to cry, or is that just me

@Galena Just remember that identity itself, including what any of us calls "I" and "me", is an illusion.

@cowanon I agree. Someday, I will transcend my fleshy cage, and become one with the machine. Then, my "identity", will be little more than whatever code I choose to run, and whatever mechanical shell I choose to inhabit in that moment.

@Galena >whatever mechanical shell I choose to inhabit in that moment I heard a really cool sci-fi concept that's even better than that: 1) Everyone digitally uploads their consciousness. 2) There's a planet covered in a "mist" of microscopic nanites. 3) At any time, any one of those digital consciousnesses can "possess" a whole bunch of these nanites and form a physical whatever: human (any outfit), cat, catgirl, flying cyborg half-octopus/half-spider. 4) At any time thereafter, you will your current form to dissipate and find yourself back in whatever digital realm you came from.
