does it bug you the same when people turn away from interacting with people to surrounding themselves with animals or pets as well?

Honestly, it bugs me less. I think that interaction with people is important. But with animals and plants you are at least dealing with beings that have needs you have to care about to keep them healthy. With bots, there are no needs, just words.

  • Would it be better if someone were to gamify the needs like video game romance? Seems easy enough to do.

    Curious does the ultra popular romance book genre many women use to feel things they aren't getting from men around them bother you?

    • Lol, in this comment chain, I, personally, shall judge all of the quality of human connection based on vibes.

      Gamifying the needs depends on the intent. If you care about people wellbeing it's a force for good, if you seek to manipulate the people using advanced mechanisms it's evil.

      Ultra popular romance book to balance needs of a woman is okay if the book was written by a human, and even that only as long as there is effort to connect outside of it. It's preferable to trash talk the husband behind his back over a glass of prosecco with 3 and exactly 3 friends.

      Keep them coming, happy to answer. Just don't ask me for proofs, here I deal with vibes.
