would you use a time machine to change your past
#20
RE: would you use a time machine to change your past
Depends on methodology. Are we talking "I can talk to my previous self and set her shit straight from age 11, and leave her a journal of dates/places/people and stuff, with a picture of a future costume of hers and tell her to do it better... leave, and return a year later to see if she's followed my advice, and give her another talking to, and some goals... leave, and return one year later telling her it's the last time I'll see her due to mistakes I made in my previous timeline, and reiterate once more and leave another journal of extremely mild shit behind with some advice"....

Or are we talking 'possess the body of my former self while retaining all my same memories as now and seeing just what i can do with it'?

Because both of these sound *very* attractive to me. Most other forms I'm not too interested in.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
