Do you really want to bring that Germany back?

Not reading the original post explains a lot. It was really not convincing by any means. The social awkward 22-year old with a social butterfly dad getting his son a 27-year old woman to date him. And of couse dad’s even paying for the whole show. And what does the 22-year old social awkward son do? Humblebrag on Lemmy, hoping to make it less obvious by complaining about how dominant his dad is. Nothing about this story works. I’m not saying that weird things don’t happen in real life, I’ve seen a lot that was much weirder. But there are certain principles which act as boundaries. There is real weirdness and there is weirdness only found in fiction. And this story absolutely belongs in the second category.

I don’t like bigmouths and hypocrites.

There is no such thing as consensual arranged marriage. Nor is it a thing in Asian cultures to have the woman being significantly older than the man, it’s the opposite. And then there is the fact that it’s not about marriage but a date so there is no connection to this romcom fantasy anyway, with the possible exception that the social butterfly dad may have simply paid the woman to date his son (Prostitution).

They still are. Germany is a joke. If you need fighters, ask France or Poland or Finland. Germany is not reliable by any means. Not when it comes to military, not when it comes to economy.

Nothing new or secret about it. Germany has been proud of it even.

They’re trying to avoid losing even more voters to the AfD. The German military also lacks manpower.

There is no evidence for how this could have worked for real, at least not how it was portrayed. If it’s just a case of covert prostitution, sure. But no “normal” woman would agree to such a date no matter how much of a social butterfly this dad is. Especially not women who are much older than the guy (5 years difference is a lot in this age range). I mean, come on, that’s literally the plot of a bad romcom.

Of course. It was just a joke about what would make people lie on Lemmy. Collecting AI credits.

Should I stop?

The other way around and torture instead of killing (“You didn’t help in creating me, now suffer for eternity, meatbag!”).

Children…

I guess “true” and “false” are misleading.

Roko’s basilisk?

I had similar issues in the past because of stuck keys. And those keys weren’t even part of a shortcut or any other software function to control the particular element that went bonkers. It can be random keys you would never expect.

Have you checked for stuck keys?

But none of this matter for the time you were happy.

Another approach: Let’s say you make it up to the age of 80 and then you die. You spend 78 years without love - not loving someone, not being loved by someone. But for two years you loved and were loved. Would this mean that this love was not true love just because it wasn’t “balanced” enough?

I mean… kind of.

…which is why you need technology so powerful it can protect you from a singularity.

Just use the same technology that allowed you to enter a black hole without dying.

They come with a high cost, sure. But this applies to a lot of other things as well (like MTG cards or rescuing animals or learning how play drums really good etc).
