    Don’t know if it’s better or worse than me jacking off for 4 hours. Regardless my ancestors would probably fully understand. They’d still be disappointed for a myriad of reason.

        They absolutely wouldn’t be, I’m aromantic hypersexual. I don’t need thine petty emotions for such acts. Also I won’t lower myself to the level of speaking to the inbred cousins of Bonzi buddy.

          I think if you’ve got to the point where you are even vaguely considering the idea of using one of these AI for personal gratification you are already fairly far down the rabbit hole and probably beyond the point of saving.

          Even with someone with a barely standard sex drive the concept just isn’t appealing. Even if it was a real person the constant praise would just seem condescending and unearned after a while. In the end it would probably make you paranoid you or we’re some way a joke, and everyone but you gets it.

            Yup, also I find these AI to be instinctually unsettling. Folks around where I am are pretty harsh even with kith or kin so the fact that the AI also love bombs reminds me of the various cults in my region. As my great grandfather once told me “If they constantly have a smile they ain’t smiling”.

          Edging is distinct from gooning in that edging is done with the homies or for the homies, gooning is an isolating experience.

          “There’s an expression… Gooning, G-O-O-N-I-N-G, basically it means being transfixed with video porn for 24-48 hours straight. And, it struck me that even though this crowd considers itself bohemian, and anti-establishment, it struck me that this is exactly the crowd that would go over for Fascism. It had that feel.”

      A lot of people have commented on how Ben Franklin would love porn, trans women, modern voluntary sterilization, etc., but I’m just gonna come out with a hot take: Ben Franklin would fucking love cocaine. Really all modern stimulants. If there’s a heaven he’s up there doing lines off some chick’s dick discussing her PhD dissertation. This is a man who would be fucking pissed that the nation he helped found has created Adderall shortages by restricting supplies. He’d demand healthcare be in the bill of rights for that reason alone.

        He also might break down crying at the fact that we eliminated smallpox. He did the variolation thing, but his son didn’t and he died of smallpox. Franklin deeply regretted not having him do it.

        Then tell him that there’s a whole movement of people who sees the tech that eliminated smallpox as a bad thing. That’s where he’s going to get deeply disappointed with us.

        If you brought Ben Franklin into the modern world you’d lose him within a couple hours then find him again in Goodsprings NV hungover and missing his pants.

        Edit: If you read NV as New Vegas and not Nevada you need to turn off the 500+ modded semi corrupt New Vegas install and go read Blood Meridian or something.

          Oh no you’re not putting that on everyone else. It’s American’s fault for just randomly deciding that everybody else should know where AR is. If you’re going to two letter abbreviate places they at least have to be places that the international community has ever heard of, America is full of nowhere places that haven’t turned up in popular media and no one from the international community has ever gone to.

            Nevada has Las Vegas, Reno, Area 51, and half of the Hoover dam. I’m pretty damned sure most folks have at least vaguely heard of the state, also I’m making fun of Fallout fans seeing the abbreviation of NV and reading New Vegas and not Nevada.

            While Nevada isn’t the most notable state it does pop up quite often in popular media thanks to Vegas. It’s not like I’m referring to fucking Salmon Idaho or fucking Hebron Kentucky. Its basically the American version of Normandy or Gdańsk, culturally and historically relevant but firmly in the lower end of the top ten.

          The stimulants available to a north American of his time were wildly popular at the time in the british colonies and it’s difficult to imagine him not partaking in either of them. Thst said, they were coffee and tea, both of which remain legal here to this day, and we even scrapped the extra tax on tea.

          Franklin died in 1790. Cocaine was first isolated in 1859 and it looks like coca wasn’t really available in the global north until around that time. That said, upon the arrival of cocaine, the USA put that shit in everything. We loved the stuff

            Tobacco products were also very popular. Snuff being popular among rich people.

            Coca was used as a drug (documented) in 1568.

            Additionally laudanum and opium we’re also popular, but they aren’t stimulants afaik.

              I also forgot about mate because I’m a bad American and forgot about my continent’s native stimulants. Tobacco was common but not in the way it was in the 20th century. It was more tasted than inhaled.

              But yeah I did a quick search and it looked like coca wasn’t widely traded with the anglosphere until the 19th century

    How the fuck do people do it? Like is there something else more wrong with me?

    It says it’s AI. It reads like an AI. I’m desperately lonely too, but it doesn’t remotely come close to even a hint of being a real person.

    Maybe it’s the user interface? The constant awareness of the AI girlfriend URL?

      I think it has something to do with the person needing something other than a human relationship. Its like those lifesize dolls that some guys are into. They meet needs that are different to a human relationship.

        I don’t get em either. They look like a lot of work. They weigh 80lbs but can’t walk on their own, clean themselves, and their eyeballs can fall out.

        So if it’s “connection” with something “human like but not” ok I guess I can see it. Probably better for the species

    The concept of a bloodline is incoherent.

    Since the number of direct ancestors doubles every generation you go back, individual lineage is closer to a bowl of spaghetti than a family tree.

    Every generation you go back, you share less and less genetic markers. You share exactly 50% of your DNA with each parent, about 25% with each grandparent etc. Eventually you’ll find a direct ancestor with whom you share no DNA markers. It’s 12 generations back, on average.

    So, go back a few hundred years, and you’re not genetically related to anybody. Go back a thousand, and everyone’s list of ancestors is indistinguishable.
