The body is the mind's interface with the world. Why couldn't a digital mind "feel sensations", subjective as they are, on its own interface with it? If it's assumed to not be a subject, then how could it be a mind

Too bad its UI is ugly and its update procedures make me nervous. It needs a rewrite.

The message seems to be: sales is a soul-sucking job, a demoralizing exercise on psychopathic exploitation in which making people feel something (be it good or not) is the way into their wallets.

And without milk. Milk has no place in mate cocido. There's a different name for combining it with milk (mate de leche).
