If anyone would pay to see my 40-yr old shriveled cock or asshole, you bet I would let them.
I used to as well, but the environment changes so fast that I've given up trying to keep up with it.
Work = left. Hobbies = right.
Then fail a constitution check against your own urine, making you ill.
1080 was awesome but the original Titan was something else entirely.
This T&J episode traumatized me as a kid.
Physical destruction. It's the only way to be 100% sure.
It resides on the MB itself in a separate chip, so no, although there are probably tools to make it possible.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I would. The knowledge that "A" me is out there, somewhere, safe and sound, is uplifting, but it's still quite chilling to realize you are staying wherever the hell you are. At least we die after enough time has passed because our bodies decay.

The SOMA protagonist wasn't that lucky...
If you are the version doing the upload, you're staying behind. The other "you" pops into existence feeling as if THEY are the original, so from their perspective, it's as if they won the coin flip.
But the original CANNOT win that coinflip...
I think SOMA made it pretty clear we're never uploading jack shit, at best we're making a copy for whom it'll feel as if they've been uploaded, but the original remains behind as well.
A few years ago, mid pandemic, I started collecting ancient coins. I was really passionate about it even thinking about finding ways to make it a small after-hours job or such, but I've since run into a few walls and have subsequently lost my drive. For example, I wanted to take very high resolution pictures of the coins and then compose a catalog of sorts, but while I have all the gear that I need (camera with a macro lens) my shots keep coming out wrong and I've since kind of given up on the idea altogether.
My entire life is one long succession of passionately started projects that got abandoned either midway or after heavy setbacks. If I ever find one that brings me lasting happiness, I'll gladly share it, but for now I'm just as much on the lookout as you are.
