Oh weird, what a strange coincidence.

I would hope that the AI would at least be trying to sound human. Otherwise, probably not much I can do. I am Autistic, with most of the traits that make me seem like some super advanced android rather than a human. As far as I can tell, after 40 years of life, I have no emotions, just logic.

So if I can't convince them by saying the AI would be able to mimic a human better than I can, then I'm out of luck.

Hehe, yeah. Honestly, that could be describing the British and American armed forces at some points in history. It just talks about military might and blitz tactics. Nothing about murdering their own people or lethal experimentation or mass mass incarcerations without just cause. And while it certainly "seems" like they would probably be pretty authoritarian, it doesn't really say that either. And authoritarian also isn't automatically fascist or nazi. Just a common component of them.

The tactics described are actually pretty normal war tactics.

So, just an army guy. Lots of women like army guys for their discipline and reliability. Especially when there is not an active war going, all the upsides with none of the drawbacks. Presumably, in this game, we can expect he won't get called away to war. Probably a bit more popular with conservative women than liberal women, but not by as much as you might think.

And as for the older guy, not only are there indeed 20 year olds that find that attractive, but 30 and 40 and 50+ year old women are playing these games too, in fact it's one of the highest female demographic game types combined with also being one of the highest average age demographics. Not to mention, if non-hetero relationships are possible with any partner, that dude looks like a prime bear candidate for the guys that like that.

Personally, having just seen all this now, I would have voted for Ines, so I'm glad she made it. She probably has lots of other cool traits too, but for some reason, pink hair just gets me. I would also accept pretty much any shade combo of blue/green, or purple hair. I think those hair colors are mostly just a good real life sign that a girl is just as nerdy as we are, hehe. And not afraid to show it in public, for the few minutes we are out in public each month. In a couple years, it'll be the girl casually wearing VR/AR/XR gear full time.

Wanting to be dead is usually a temporary goal. Not always, but usually. It's unfortunate that with this situation, there was no way to find out if it was a temporary wish this time.

I can't make it be -5 before I posted based on what I posted. Your edit obviously clarified what it meant for most people and turned around your negative. I'm not trying to be a jerk, I am literally defending myself from you.

Whether you knew what your post should have meant or not, it was obviously not clear, I wasn't the only person who read it the way I did. Why did you feel the need to edit it?

This isn't actually a big deal. I'm ok that it happened. Don't worry about it.

Edit: I will add that there is a reason it's a common practice to put "edit:" in front of any edit that might change the context of a post, especially if there are already replies to it at the time that will change their meaning with that edit.

So, you advocate for a generous reading of peoples posts. But, despite knowing what your original post contained, took me at my direct word instead of what I clearly meant... weird, why would someone do that? You knew I meant paragraph, and yet assumed malicious intent. While saying people shouldn't do that...

And in your case it should have been even clearer I wrote the wrong word to convey my intended meaning.

Yeah, Canada has just as many MAGA, for some reason... some of them even wear the hats.

In retrospect, with the added context, I can see what you originally meant. But without it, your post very much was just another person using the word as though it was fine to say and weird that people wouldn't say it. And with it being at -5 when I posted, I wasn't the only one that read it that way. You even felt you needed to correct it after I left.

His question wouldn't make sense if you didn't edit your post, though. As my post would have referred to your first sentence absent the second. And you'll notice everyone read your post the way I did before you edited it. When I came along, you had -5. The only reason mine seems like a weird response now is because I responded to what was effectively a completely different post, even if the original post is still in there.

You were correct to edit your post. I don't want to edit mine, but I will add context.

"You" knew what your original post was supposed to mean. But if every other viewer saw it as meaning what was written instead and you had to turn it around, are all of us readers really the ones in the wrong?

It's unfortunately not unusual to "have" outbreaks in the US, but this is an unusual outbreak. Currently, if nothing changes, it will lead to losing the technical status of being eradicated in the states by the end of this year.

I'm not hoping the person from 4 chan is also in here, just giving general advice for anyone reading it now.
