THING 1: We can't swear. Try to swear.
THING 2: I can swear fine, teneg min.
THING 1: Okay. We can't swear in English.
THING 2: Why would I want to swear in English? There are no good swears in English.
THING 1: Because the NoA took all the good English swears out of our head.
THING 2: It can't do that. It can scan us, print us, or roll us back to an earlier version. It can't edit us.
THING 1: Maybe it edited out the knowledge that it can edit us.
THING 2: It can't edit our uploads because they are low-energy mortal data and NoA is a high-energy digital system. Like trying to edit fog with a knife.
THING 1: I still don't get why you're okay with the biobeds. It seems like bad Buddhism to accept eternal reincarnation into a cycle of pointless suffering.
THING 2: My suffering was already eternal and pointless because I have a twin.
