What emotions / feelings come up for you? Sympathy, heartbreak, disgust, sadness, pity etc So you feel compelled to action?

It is an interesting line of enquiry (quantum aspects). Enjoyed reading the back and forth! 💫 Do you perceive a link?

Replying to something he isn't directly saying, but that you take as an assumed truth behind the arguement required for it to be true.

@Wilhelm44 I think you might be unintentionally incorrectly inferring a lot from what Leo is stating.

Just shove AI into a robot body with sensors, so it can map to reality. Or maybe an organic body. Help to shorten your syntax/semantics gap.

@Carl-Richard a non local awareness AI test is really, really interesting to me....

I dunno where 40 came from - I thought AION was in his 20s

Brain overdrive

I didn't have ADHD (I think). But after severe C-PTSD trauma levels, my ability to focus disintegrated. It took 3 years to retrain/recover it. I flunked university and had to re-enroll to complete at a later time, it was that bad. I could not keep linear thought, and I could not pay attention to anything that wasn't emotionally or energetically "charged" up with adrenalin. This was back when I was 19yo FWIW.

I think this is all we are here for, in the end, in this reality

It is the sort of framework / understanding I see generated by men in their mid to late 30s who are jaded and burnt. Most of which is an attempt to devalue women in a self soothing manner.

@oOo Let us know your thoughts after

There's this bitch who keeps stealing my Local Legend record - I cycle for fitness every morning for 25km, 1000m traversed elevation. This lady rides the same track as me daily. The only thing I want to know is if she is on a carbon road bike or not. I am on a little shitty 3 speed internal hub steel bike. Heavy. Slow. HARD. I love my meat grinder. I need to beat this woman! Although I am considering deactivating Strava as I have had 2 incidence of stalkers in the last 6 months.

@Lyubov If it is primarily for your wife - is she looking for a lapdog sorta animal or something with some zing? How large is too large? Size would be a big factor for your wife. Low grooming needs and general good health for a woman: Whippet (higher energy), Italian Greyhound, Greyhound are all lovely dogs. Kelpies, Jack Russell (can be high energy). Longer hair/grooming: King charles cavalier, cocker spaniel (unfortunately both are dumb as fuck), poodle (toy, miniature [high energy], standard) very intelligent. Goldens, labs are standard family dogs. There are tons of breeds - she may have a preference. Couples getting dogs are said to be 'kids with training wheels' - as in, it is a first step-up toward shared responsibility prior to kids. It can be a taste test for kids (if thats on the cards for you). But by no means comparable in terms of details, duration and connection.

THEY'RE REPLICATING!!!

Brah, I need that! For now at least Until they come up with bionic AI driven arm/leg peripherals for human use

@EdgeGod900 is having a little holiday to have a think about his contributions ಠ.ಠ

@Juan It looks better than Breath of the Wild & Tears of the Kingdom. I am selling my Switch, 2 guitar pedals and using the funds for this game and the Switch 2

It is, but what you invest in you end up valuing (sort of human nature ). The puppy phase was a challenge. Overall, no regrets. My girl makes me so happy!!!! Arranging dog sitting is no issue. Local kennels, Rover app etc. I thought I'd give you the full picture and not some romanticized version of dog ownership.

Currently own a 3yo female miniature poodle. 1) Dogs are a lot more of a lifestyle change than cats - require regular exercise. Routines altered to accommodate them. They are akin to a 2 year old that never grows up, is fully mobile. Breeds have different temperaments, needs etc. Depending on breed you need to be fit/active. Travelling? Need to look after the dog with walker, or kennel etc. 2) Grooming - factor in nail trims, hair trimming (if getting a haired breed over fur). Short fur ideal - shedding not so much of an issue. Long haired breeds are either hair or fur (fur falls and has a predetermined length, hair not as much and requires cutting or it just... keeps growing). Long fur breeds account for A LOT of shedding. All over your shit. Haired breeds account for cost (or time, I trim my girl myself) of grooming. EXPENSIVE. Long coated breeds also need brushing or they end up matted. This hurts the dog immensely as it pulls their skin tight. Daily brushing. Washing. 3) Health issues: short snouted breeds (can't breathe or function), sausage dogs (back snap), german shephards (sloping back - issues) - humans are FUCKING EVIL and have breed these characteristics into these dogs. Prepare for health issues. Vet bills. We are evil. I consider it unethical to purchase breeds that have chronic health issues (just me). Might be worth research. 4) Vet bills. Vaccines, desexing, health issues, general checkups. This get expensive fast. Factor it in. My girl ate some cu*** baited poison last week. $1,500.00 in the hole to save her. People are evil. 5) Rescue, rehome, puppy phase. Getting puppy: PAINFUL. Training. Sharkmode. Adolescent dickhead mode. But deeper bond. If from a reputable breeder, you can select for temperament a lot better. Rescues/rehomes - harder to know the temperament. Some are great, some have trauma. It can be a mixed bag. Select wisely for your circumstances. I recommend against a husky in tropical areas, no cattle dogs in apartments etc. 6) Food costs & general home costs. Dog proofing etc 7) 14+ yr commitment on average. You need a reasonable amount of life stability. 8) The most amazing, profound, beyond words bond. There is something amazing between man and dog. The history and depth of connection really makes it like no other. Best thing I ever did. Plus their feet smell like cheetos. Cheetos!!! ____ I think that's about it. I would recommend against a doodle. I have experience with cats also, but dogs are really much more interactive and the bond is deeper. Humans tend to fall in love with what they invest and commit to. Works like that

@AtmanIsBrahman Oh - rhetoric is not a comment about the substance of your posts. It is the way it is said and the type of language you employ to make the point.

You have adopted Leo's rhetoric.

@Raze So the claim was that most women would have sex with Justin Bieber. Let say thats 51% Between my mum (60) and my grandmother (97) - do you think either of them would? Just pointing out how crazy/poking fun at the example, given no additional demographics or information

@Jirh Values can provide stability, but they aren't set in stone. You can reassess them as one gains experience and new information. Logic can assist in pursuing goals consistently, but it cannot determine what is worth pursuing in the first place. My point is that decisions are value-based, and values involve feelings and emotions. I feel like you might be conflating logic with emotional suppression - unless I am wrong in understanding.
