How to Talk to Anyone on Edge Without Getting Pulled In | Jefferson Fisher

I’m pretty much sure I am a living and breathing person. I’m certainly not a game program. Neither are the three scags here with me.

If I ever learn I am not real and that I am an AI, I’m going to delete the whole Sburb libary from the Polyverse (like Universe but all universes, you get me, right?) and in the process destroyed the game and therefore killed everybody playing at the time.

Confessions of a Bad Feminist

It’s just a bunch of angsty, self-righteous teenagers that think that they know what’s wrong with the world and want to fix it, so they create these obscure and abstract theories and words to support their political movement.

This is an extremely controversial topic among both species.
