> If you were to replace your body, your brain would necessarily be the same age

You could replace small parts of the brain with new parts piece by piece over time and maintain a continuous consciousness so a sense of self is kept. Whether it'd be really _you_ at the end of full replacement is up for debate.

> but it still doesn't mean your rights are being trampled.

Where did jsf666 say their rights are being trampled, you've just invented that unless they've edited their post. This is like strawman the post. On topic it's hilarious that he/she's complaining about downvotes for airing opinions against the hivemind then gets downvoted for that opinion. Way to prove them wrong. (jsf666 comment is currently greyed out)

Sorry but this is nothing like the 2015 election. Tories won with 36.9% because the other parties got even less (30.4%, 12.6%). Even with proportional representation they would have "won" and probably would have formed a majority coalition government with LibDems/UKIP and co.

> when you try to unify Europe?

Very few current EU countries signed up for a "unification of Europe", it started as a trading bloc and escalated from there.

Guy complains that working for massive company X isn't very motivational, decides to leave. This isn't something unique it happens in every industry out there, especially tech. I don't get why this post has the amount of votes it has.

He didn't blame PHP, just never used it again for anything important. Did we read the same comment?
