Are mirror images mindless clones, or are they thinking sapient beings. Drawn into this world only to die moments after birth.
How do I know I am not a mirror image?
When I look in a mirror I see a reflection, but everything my eyes sees are processed seconds later so how am I mimicking myself in real time, but what is time aside from a construct that works here on the ground but as I ascend the differential becomes more pronounce there for which reflection am I, the one or the 7 looking at me?
Syncope. It’s a PITA.
I’ll never forget the one time I was drawing blood from a recruit (I was stationed at the Navy Recruit Station at the time) and this soul passed out, needle buried in their arm.
We had been taught several techniques to deal with this situation; a favored technique among us being the sternum rub- for if the smelling salts aren’t immediately on hand.
I preferred the sternum rub, as I got offended and annoyed whenever they passed out. My technique by this point was flawless- I could hit a vein on an infant without them feeling a thing! How dare you!! Put your shoulders up, ya ninny!! Let that soreness in ya chest toughen you up.
In this case, reflexively, I went for the sternum rub.
Yeah, this time, the recruit was female.
It took all of us in the clinic a bit of a moment to recognize that fact, and luckily I stopped short. I likely wouldn’t have got in trouble, since it was acceptable procedure, but everyone agreed it was best we erred on the side of caution.
So… I slapped the s&$^ out of her instead.
New technique unlocked.

Pickle Juice is absolutely amazing, especially if you can find a local grower who sells it. The store bought stuff has so much preservatives in it.
Just don’t drink too much. Not a fun time.
