@thor Sadly it doesnt really work that way... for all my hindsight im sure if i went through a lusty phase with a new woman I'd swear up and down it felt the same as love again :)

Thats kinda the thing, love and lust feel the same early on, not sure you even can distinguish it short of just being patient and giving it time.

For me the take away was not the ability to say "hey these two feel different" but rather the ability to say "Ok I feel this again it might be love it might be lust... try to keep the feeling in check until youve had the time to know which it is so you dont do anything youll regret"

@thor I dont think you get access to your internal state until after the fact? I certainly didnt know it was as I described when i was experiencing it.

So i am thinking of writing my own digitalmode... based on but with several improvements.....

The coding and algorithm is easy enough... what worries me is the difficulty ill have in testing and debugging... im struggling to think of good ways to do a lot of it... I need to obviously figure out a way to test it that doesnt require transmitting over the air (though a real world test is needed too)....

@thor Any woman i dated that I asked out (so i was clearly interested before the date) I felt this way about... in those cases for me it was fleeting.

I think, at least for me, that effect when dating ties into the whole lust vs love thing... its bascially how our bodies react to what we think is love, but we are really bad at seperating that out from momentary lust.

PS: lust does not mean to imply it is physical or even superficial... just that it is based more on your image of the person than the reality, cause you dont know the reality yet.

@thor I am going to start calling all my friends by a nickname that reflects the drug they resemble :)

My hope for the SCOTUS in the future is that they stay conservative just long enough to strike all the worst gun control laws off the record... and then once we get there have the SCOTUS go neutral again with a fairly equal division between left and right wing ideology.

I feel like given the trajectory we are on that seems reasonable that by the time one of them dies a liberal president will be in place to nominate the replacement.

My thinking is, while im excited to see Gun Rights to be honored again, the other stuff they do can be very damaging and harmful. But thankfully gun rights are a bit harder to take back so my hope would be once the SCOTUS goes neutral again they will repair any damage done while leaving the reestablished gun rights in tact.

@thor

Aside from infactuation that is fleeting and a one or two time thing, I have had that with 2 people in my life... Even when i stay away for a decade and think that part of my character is "dead" and i wish i could be thatperson again.... all we do is hang out and it all comes back in an instant.

@ABScientist I do that already... they must be cuddled whether they want it or not!

I am actually appalled and shocked that 1/3 of people thing porn is morally wrong. As a society I figured we got past this point...

I want one of those diseases that infects your brain and makes you go bat shit loony toons crazy, but you are so disconnected from reality you are actually happy all the time..... yea i want this infection.

I often find the best players, and the smartest people, rarely get involved in democratic groups unless there is something that just cant be done alone.

It is just too frustrating to be brought down by the average group IQ when arguing for and voting for better options.

So the end result is democratic groups tend to have their average skills/IQ fall below the population average.

This is just my personal experience though.

@thor Back in the day we used to call people who calmed down by being around others "psychic vampires".. the idea was it would cause thepeople they were around to get that persons anxiety in exchange.

Not saying thats you, just reminded me of this.

@jentrification Its not his voice anymore, just as an impresionist doing is voice is legal even though he may have learned to do so off of a copyrighted audiobook.

The issue here to me isnt that an AI replicated his voice. It is more about how the AI may be designed... I would say if there is bit-for-bit replication in the output correlating to the original learned, even if its small segments, then there is a violation.

@BetaCuck4Lyfe So what im hearing is, despite almost bankrupting the economy and making suicides and other mental health issues skyrocket due to quarintines and mandates....it has had absolutely no effect of any kind.

Pretty good argument to make sure we dont make that mistake again I guess.

@bwbeach That sounds a bit closer to the first option actually... but ill let it slide :)

@georgetakei

As usual a good share my friends. Thanks for this, Trump is a joke.

@georgetakei

Powerful? Sounded like hot air to me.. lots of words designed to inspire with no real actionability
