So you choose to act, which resulted in a loss of a life. Instead of not acting which would have resulted to more deaths.

Nope, even the abominable intelligence rejects them

If two specimen of one hivemind are "exchanging spores" is it sex or is it masturbation...?

I would love to help you. Sadly any advice I could offer would be plagued by my strange way of thinking.

But eh, I will try, what I do is assign arbitrary values to certain things, for example human connection is 5 (i am pulling stuff out of the air here) and lying is -3 (I must also note that this would require some thinking in the way what is important to you and how much, and in what way)

The just add up all the numbers of all the things that matter to you, is the value positive it may be an ok relationship, if it is negative it may be not.

Again thats my way of doing this based purely on my spicy brain and inability to properly process emotions

Both a right tho (the upper strawman only partially but still), the benefit can as well be self fulfillment, mental support, and/or human connection

If the person one is in a relationship with does not provide anything, not even something like support when ones needs it, the question is if it is really worth it (as much as I hate this expression in matters of love), at least in terms of self preservation

Yep, from a revered mother

Remember

Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

Where does it go?

In the square hole

I would prefer a nice cup of black tea instead please

And whats a mullet?
