  • “Change your skin color instantly any time” and “teleport to the closest beach at any time”. I’ll use them to rob banks. Before robbing the bank I’ll change my skin color, and once I get the money I’ll escape by teleporting to the beach - while changing my skin color at the same time (not to my original skin color though - that one I’ll only use once I’m completely safe)



  • duplicate anything I own once

    Does “once” here means this power can only be used once, or that any given item can only be duplicated one time?

    Also - what can be duplicated?

    • Does it work on conceptual things? Can I duplicate my salary?
    • Does it work on organic things? Can I duplicate my own body?



  • You don’t have to go all the way to renovating before you see the advantages of homeownership. It shows up even in much smaller home improvements.

    A small example: a few years ago my refrigerator broke, and the technician said it’s behind repair. My landlord had to buy a new one, and of course he picked a cheap model.

    If I was an homeowning instead of renting, I would have bought a much better refrigerator at trice the cost. But I won’t pay that much for an appliance I’m not going to own, and my landlord won’t pay it for one he wouldn’t use, so I’m stuck with a cheap and noisy refrigerator.

    And this is the situation with everything that’s considered a part of the house. Even if I have the money to buy nice things - I can’t have them.
