gollark: If society was less 🐝 about things, then if a cryonics company went out of business other people would happily pick up the frozen people and stick them somewhere else. Unfortunately, society is not less 🐝 about things and as it isn't socially acceptable there is likely not much support.
gollark: That is another significant issue, yes.
gollark: Or there actually is a god and they don't like cryonicists.
gollark: You probably *could* worry about similar issues with cryonics, I suppose. For instance, people from the future could be awful and torture you or something.
gollark: Arch Linux, btw.
