A very small survey of people of different ages suggests that there are age and gender differences in the acceptance of riding in automated cars. In summary, 2,600 people in the US replied and of them 38% of the men and just 16% of women would be happy to ride in an automated vehicle. About a quarter of respondents said they would feel safe in a driverless car while around two thirds said they would not travel unless there was a driver. No mention was made about their opinions of sharing the road with these massive projectiles when driving themselves in traditional cars.

    Well, actually Azuma is correct in this instance. It would be where the mean lady touched me.

    Agh, my kingdom to be attracted to women.... But alas, this life I get to experience being attractive to women (both genders actually) while finding women sexually repulsive. (I'm at an extreme on the Kinsey scale [wikipedia.org].)

    To put in perspective: I'm sure that all Azuma needs is a good cock inside her. The feeling that statement would evoke in her is likely similar to the feeling that is evoked in me by the prospect of intimate contact with a woman.

    Nobody will care, but the responses here do illustrate the point I was cynically making. In fact, even suggesting that a lesbian is less of a person because she is not a sexual object for men will get me modded troll. Suggesting that I am nothing more than a sexual object for women got parent comment modded insightful.

    I'd shoot myself (honestly, I don't want to be on this planet right now), but they tell me that's generally not the best way to move on to the next life.

    On the other hand, I understand that after suicide, you kind of sit in limbo until your lifespan is up. So if I shot myself, I could have maybe somewhere between 30-50 years of peace and quiet in limbo before moving on to the summerland. Maybe suicide isn't so bad after all, especially compared to living on a planet where a bunch of semi-sentient apes elected a sexually harassing asshole pussy-grabbing rapist to the most powerful office in the whole fucking star system.

    I wouldn't mind a good cock if it were attached to a woman. That doesn't happen in real life, sadly. Futanari are not a thing, though given the repulsive monsters some people draw, maybe that's a good thing.

    And re: suicide, do NOT shoot yourself or otherwise do it; "limbo" as you put it is not peaceful. You get stuck to your body until it decays, which is somehow painful on the spiritual level, then usually get booted back into a similar type of life that led to the suicide in the first place.

      Sorry, that was a mis-judged attempt at humour.

    First and most important, please get help, it can get better.

    I didn't suggest you are nothing more than a sexual object for women, I made a crass joke about AC(s) not being attractive to women, kind of the exact opposite of how you read it. All ACs are the same basement dwelling neckbeard who hasn't seen daylight in months right?

    At the risk or repeating myself, get help, it can get better, and if someone is assaulting you as you seem to be implying, they are the worst kind of shit.
