I don't know. Getting old and conservative in my own way, I guess.

IMO there's nothing wrong with that.

I agree. My original point was that it's okay to have a relationship like that, but it's not okay to sexualise it.

First of all, ai bots will probably steal all kinds of information from people. And the money that is spent on them could be useful for so many more useful things. I would suggest to seek genuine connections or even go to chatrooms over bots, ai or otherwise.

Not to mention how dealing with bots might warp your ability to socialise. A lot of things that are acceptable to bots are unacceptable to real people. Some people use them to play out fantasy scenarios of non-consent, abuse, etc.

Having said all that, if somebody wants to play around with that stuff, it's fine as long as it's not your only way to socialise or seek intimacy. I remember The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker and it talked about how video games are not inherently bad and don't make us more violent, but they take time away from us that we can use to do social things instead.

Depending on how hard it is for a person to socialise, a group hobby or even group therapy sessions might be the solution.

I just think that such behaviour is unhealthy and we'll see just how unhealthy it is in the coming years.

Point taken. But it might be a matter of degree of how strong a relationship is.

Despicable? I'm curious about where this line is, can you elaborate?

I don't know specifically, but I think masturbating to a person you have formed a parasocial relationship with is close to that line.

Also, what is your attitude on people who have sex with many partners (with informed consent etc).

I do not condemn nor condone such behaviour, it might be against my personal moral compass, but as long as both sides know what they are doing it isn't bad.

I wouldn't mock a person for having parasocial relationships, but I would mock them for paying a lot of money to an OnlyFans model. I think that there is a spectrum of acceptable parasocial relationships and I am trying to draw a line where "ok" ends and "despicable" begins.

Yes, I agree that people you like online are not your friends and you should not defend them when they get called for their toxic behaviour.

By embracing an identity, corporations end up destroying it.

Ir was always cringe, but we did it anyway.

Is it common to use turboprop airplanes for AWACS purposes?

You can't really destroy an insurgency via military means. See: Iraq, Afghanistan.

The cutout looks like Saddam Hussein.

Same mental age as him either way.

Those things are everywhere this year, they start flying right before sunset and they are large enough to wake me up when they hit my windows.

Fallen rockets might still have propellants in them, such as hydrazine or nitric acid, so I'd say it's a good call.

I always wondered if it's implied that she's ugly or that the sailor will get in trouble with the captain.

Yep, in their mind Russia is great and is the future. Meanwhile, countries west of them are decadent and temporary.

Fun fact: season 4 was filmed in Lithuania, some Lithuanian actors played minor roles.

I'd crash the party to accuse him of that.
