How many of you tolerate the presence of your doubles here? Why do you tolerate them?

[Because he can't decide if this shit disturbs him, or just makes him ragingly jealous.]

Doubles? You mean people who look like you?

[voiceshall_echo]

What other definition for doubles might I have?

[autistic_genius]

I just wanted to confirm.

Given the rarity of finding your exact double within the limits of your own universe, it should be no surprise that there are doubles that exist once you expand your search to other planes of existence. I think it's actually a fascinating phenomenon.

[voiceshall_echo]

There's nothing fascinating about being copied.

[stopthat_destro]

Because killing them would be impractical.

[voiceshall_echo]

It grates on you. It must.

[stopthat_destro]

Oh, absolutely. Seeing my face on a stranger, hearing my voice sound so inarticulate... "Grating" is putting it lightly. You haven't had a, ah, "Barge twin" appear yet, have you?

[voiceshall_echo]

No. I had my fill of doubles in life. I don't know how you tolerate it.

[gotgreenmagic]

Aww. Feeling left out, Junior?

[voiceshall_echo]

Yes, that is clearly what I'm feeling.

"Nature does not repeat herself."

Do you know of Thomas de Quincy?

[voiceshall_echo]

We are not meant to see ourselves this way.

[rayney_day]

That's a little like asking why they should tolerate you, don't you think?

[voiceshall_echo]

It amounts to the same question.

[rayney_day]

So... Why would I care if someone else looked like me?

[voiceshall_echo]

It wouldn't bother you?
