I'll be honest I wasn't really feeling this one. Compared to their other stuff this one felt kinda like pop country. Maybe the best possible version of pop country, but pop country nonetheless. Just not my favorite genre.

Anbernic has some GBA layout ones, although I'm pretty sure they're not aluminum

Very first was probably Inuyasha, Dragonball Z, or some Gundam way back on adult swim as a kid. My first real one that I engaged with as a semi-adult was probably Death Note.

They're presuming that people will exist, which is not a wild assumption

But that's not a philosophy I particularly subscribe to so I don't feel compelled to explain or defend it further.

Because the typical standard of consent is that in order to do something to someone, you should have informed consent. If you cannot obtain that, then you do not do the thing. Something that does not exist cannot give informed consent, therefore you should not do the thing.

If living organisms are predisposed to prefer existence, this would imply existence is an inherently preferable state.

It usually is- to a living organism, which is not what we're talking about.

Prove it

Come on bro you can't be serious about this.

We agree there

They are not related because you have to exist to experience well-being or "bad-being". What I'm talking about is consenting to exist.

And how does that relate to angels?

Just to clarify, I'm not advocating for any baby to be taken off life support, that's a pretty abhorrent thing to accuse me of, if that's what you meant.

I work in critical care and routinely bring people back from the brink of death. With a living being, unless otherwise stated, their consent to life saving treatment is implied, and I'm happy to give it.

Philosophically, I'm just not convinced that there is such a thing as an implied consent to "make me exist when I don't exist already".
