yes, i agree that it is absurd to expect human corpses or bologna to be self-aware? i have occasionally seen small children make that error



Nice dodge, but I'm referring to the dumb data-structures mimicking sentient human words.


human-written words are not self-aware; they're just inert ink on paper, or the equivalent in other media. i've never seen even a small child make that error before. if you wrote that in earnest, you seem to be suffering from a bad kind of confusion and may need medical attention

I’ve been visiting this site for a long time, and it’s getting to the point where it feels like people are ignoring this rule regularly, and it’s disappointing.


to be fair to him i was being pretty rude in response to his incoherent trolling, so it's not surprising he responded rudely
