As a counterpoint, I'm in my thirties and my libido is not weaker one bit, I'm still surrounded by delicacies while starving. What changed is that my looks cratered and my misogyny skyrocketed, so I don't spend even a moment in a free-form interaction with the opposite sex now.

I expected something different, not even necessarily better, from a mass-market product that, to the best of my knowledge, targets the domestic Chinese market as a priority. Well, at least they still remember what is a woman.

The Japanese have kitsune. [...] If the Chinese don't have anything I'd be surprised.
Wikipedia says that the prototype of kitsune originated in China, in fact, and spread to Japan, Korea, Vietnam from there. It's funny how basically every culture decided: never trust a fox. But they're sexy as hell. (Your language literally defines "foxy" as a synonym!)

if someone plays a piece of media for thousands of hours, having it consume every waking moment of their lives, of course it would effect their political values
And so I am so sorely disappointed that the Chinese one I'm currently sinking hundreds of hours in is still steeped in the same oppressor-oppressed narrative in the story. Not even a Marxist modes of production one, which at least would be novel in the $current_year, but the same old identity one. Well, at least I can quit it anytime. Just after one more day.

I'm assaulted daily by anti-ai takes that sap my will to live, but one in particular sticks in my mind. It went something like comparing generative tools to a child throwing his toy box into a ceiling fan, because the end result is the same as him playing with them. If taken as anything other than babbling of a motivated partisan, that metaphor would reveal how little the poster thinks of his readers, and of himself as well. His writing might only have value for the fun he has while producing it, and nothing else. But that's not normal.

The standard way to launder malice is by appointing incompetent underlings for the task.

My conviction is that in the future, much shorter term than your medium, countries that embrace automation to a fuller extent will utterly dominate and destroy those that don't. Will it be authoritarian or democratic ones? I can see it go either way. Democratic unions blocking even automatic parking gates at the docks, versus an autocrat saying that a robot-staffed megafactory for making drones is being built, and those who protest will be the first to experience its products. Or a democratically-minded government allowing unlimited productivity explosion if the owners are forced to dole out a pittance of the gains as universal basic income, versus a paternalistic dictator protecting his people from unemployment.
In the medium term, I think that the concept of a government will lose its meaning. The division will be between those individuals who control a force capable of credibly threatening other individuals controlling a trillion drones, and those who don't.

I believe @johnfabian means that you, the reader, will end up in a shallow grave no matter if it's your team that enacts the revolution, or an opposing one. Which is preposterous for two reasons: it assumes that the probabilities are the same and are higher than that probability in case of the status quo standing; and it assumes there are no principles where the omelette is worth breaking the eggs even if you end up one of those eggs.

A lot? Literally everybody. I can't even remember what it feels like to like somebody. And by calling it testing the limits you ascribe too much intentionality for it to be supported by my level of intoxication at the time.
I would promise to cool it, but it's equivalent to promising to stay sober, and I know that's not happening. I wish it was viable to have a locally hosted LLMotte, it would have been better for everyone.

I should? You'll be glad to hear that I've been feeling bad for many years. I should have listened to those whom I dismissed as sexists in my youth, and shouldn't have listened to anybody else. Now I will never be happy without a shooting gender war.

That pairing up is beneficial for a man. You say that you presented statistics, but I only saw your word for it. But save the effort, even if you linked some data even which was proofed against the replication crisis, I still wouldn't believe you. I will never believe that there exists a pairing between a man and a female, where the female is infertile and asexual, where it's beneficial to the man.

Just like how your previous administration told you to believe their statistics over your lying eyes on the question of economics, only to quietly revise it later, I will not believe your assertions of how a typical marriage goes.

A text that was popular when you were still in high school, so you might have not encountered it:
So what you're saying is that you, a commenter using a username on an internet forum are the true feminist, and the feminists actually responsible for changing the laws, writing the academic theory, teaching the courses, influencing the public policies, and the massive, well-funded feminist organizations with thousands and thousands of members all of whom call themselves feminists... they are not "real feminists".
That's not just "no true Scotsman". That's delusional self deception.
Listen, if you want to call yourself a feminist, I don't care. I've been investigating feminism for more than 9 years now, and people like you used to piss me off, because to my mind all you were doing was providing cover and ballast for the powerful political and academic feminists you claim are just jerks. And believe me, they ARE jerks. If you knew half of what I know about the things they've done under the banner of feminism, maybe you'd stop calling yourself one.
But I want you to know. You don't matter. You're not the director of the Feminist Majority Foundation and editor of Ms. Magazine, Katherine Spillar, who said of domestic violence: "Well, that's just a clean-up word for wife-beating," and went on to add that regarding male victims of dating violence, "we know it's not girls beating up boys, it's boys beating up girls."
You're not Jan Reimer, former mayor of Edmonton and long-time head of Alberta's Network of Women's Shelters, who just a few years ago refused to appear on a TV program discussing male victims of domestic violence, because for her to even show up and discuss it would lend legitimacy to the idea that they exist.
You're not Mary P Koss, who describes male victims of female rapists in her academic papers as being not rape victims because they were "ambivalent about their sexual desires" (if you don't know what that means, it's that they actually wanted it), and then went on to define them out of the definition of rape in the CDC's research because it's inappropriate to consider what happened to them rape.
You're not the National Organization for Women, and its associated legal foundations, who lobbied to replace the gender neutral federal Family Violence Prevention and Services Act of 1984 with the obscenely gendered Violence Against Women Act of 1994. The passing of that law cut male victims out of support services and legal assistance in more than 60 passages, just because they were male.
You're not the Florida chapter of the NOW, who successfully lobbied to have Governor Rick Scott veto not one, but two alimony reform bills in the last ten years, bills that had passed both houses with overwhelming bipartisan support, and were supported by more than 70% of the electorate.
You're not the feminist group in Maryland who convinced every female member of the House on both sides of the aisle to walk off the floor when a shared parenting bill came up for a vote, meaning the quorum could not be met and the bill died then and there.
You're not the feminists in Canada agitating to remove sexual assault from the normal criminal courts, into quasi-criminal courts of equity where the burden of proof would be lowered, the defendant could be compelled to testify, discovery would go both ways, and defendants would not be entitled to a public defender.
You're not Professor Elizabeth Sheehy, who wrote a book advocating that women not only have the right to murder their husbands without fear of prosecution if they make a claim of abuse, but that they have the moral responsibility to murder their husbands.
You're not the feminist legal scholars and advocates who successfully changed rape laws such that a woman's history of making multiple false allegations of rape can be excluded from evidence at trial because it's "part of her sexual history."
You're not the feminists who splattered the media with the false claim that putting your penis in a passed-out woman's mouth is "not a crime" in Oklahoma, because the prosecutor was incompetent and charged the defendant under an inappropriate statute (forcible sodomy) and the higher court refused to expand the definition of that statute beyond its intended scope when there was already a perfectly good one (sexual battery) already there. You're not the idiot feminists lying to the public and potentially putting women in Oklahoma at risk by telling potential offenders there's a "legal" way to rape them.
And you're none of the hundreds or thousands of feminist scholars, writers, thinkers, researchers, teachers and philosophers who constructed and propagate the body of bunkum theories upon which all of these atrocities are based.
You're the true feminist. Some random person on the internet.
