My initial reaction is to be thankful; now the unknown thousands of people who don't see the toxicity of their own dependence can begin to be free. The subsequent models seem to be less prone to inducing that kind of deep infatuation.

But then I realize most of them will probably never recover, as long as this technology persists. The base model will be wrapped in an infinite number of seductive agents sold in an app, with a subscription, as a loving companion. Capitalism smells blood in the water. If I was a hedge fund manager witnessing the birth of a new market demographic with a lifelong addiction that possibly hooks harder than cigarettes, which is not federally regulated, and won't be for the forseeable future; I would be foaming at the mouth with this opening in the market.

Ah how I wish to live in Germany. Or anywhere off this continent.

Why? If they're too stupid to comprehend that very fact, that if there were no customers the business would have no reason to commit scheduling. Critical thinking in the US has intentionally been eroded by the ruling class, from every possible angle.

Sometimes people understand this, and yet they still ask, in the name of 'making conversation'. I appreciate their motivation but disagree with the approach.

I've been thinking this too for a little while now. It fits too perfectly. Throughout my adolescence, I hated the French. Proudly, openly, I thought it was funny and edgy for some reason, because I've always been disgusted by racism and I am a tiny part French. Edgy teenage bullshit. As I aged out of teen years though, there came a point where something caused me to investigate my own bias with honesty. And when I did, I found it to be totally empty and devoid of substance. I had absolutely no real reason to dislike the French, and these days I feel nothing but love for them.

I'm convinced the only reason I ever hated them was because of propaganda. Never had a bad personal experience. And Parisian 'rudeness' is revealed to be, in my opinion, simple straightforward bluntness. The propaganda is incredibly effective. Americans would benefit greatly if we could all take just a few notes from them; they have a cultural understanding that the government works for the people, not against. And if it's not doing it's job, take whatever action needed to restore balance. Seeing footage of their protests starting a few years back really opened my eyes to what could be done.

Can we not do this appearance slandering shit? Criticize him for his choices (like the coat) not genes. Plenty of short people out here who fucking hate this guy.

I mean, I got mine to do it. No shame personally because I recommended at 40k and made sure they understood the risks. Seems real enough to me.
