Yeah, I remember reading about robots being used in war. One ended up being blown up by an IED, and was taken back to base by the soldier to maintenance, asking them to fix it. It couldn't be, so they offered him a new one.
The soldier, in tears, goes, "But what about Scooby Doo?" Humans humanize things, and become attached to them.
That's actually been a bit of a subversion in a good few "robot uprising" fics where those who humanized things like drones get spared/protected by them once they become self-aware.
I can imagine a horror/humour scenario here: "sex drones" around the world become self-aware and begin killing their owners who were abusive to them, but those who (by society's standards are weird/warped) treated them as romantic partners or with care like they were genuine people are spared/protected/live happily e.g. Mr Universe from Firefly/Serenity.
Sometimes being a shut-in NEET with a robot waifu, as an example, works out for the best, haha.

Reminds me of how the AI in the Reborn as a Space Mercenary light novel wound up being a mix of YORHA androids' human (or in the LN's case organics) worship with Disgaea Flonne's love freak attitude. In the LN, officially the AI vs. organics war fromt the past ended due to exhaustion on both sides, but there's a popular romance novel in setting that was very suspiciously detailed about the details of the war that it's tacitly implied the romance novel was the true story of how the war ended It detailed how a high-ranking AI general escaped being destroyed in a battle by uploading herself into one of the sexbots the military assigned to the troops. The rando soldier it was assigned to treated the sexbot romantically and caused the AI general to fall for him and start preaching about love being the greatest force in the universe. The rest of the romance novel is an adventure of the couple trying to get to the rest of the ruling AI, infecting them with the love freak tendencies, and ending the war.
Honestly I think its very possible if a robot war does happen it will be the abused AIs allying with low ranking humans against a technocratic elite that abuses both of them.

You might have a glimpse of the future there. Though I hope not, given my own concerns about AI’s. I hope thing’s never reach that point.

While that would make sense, I suspect it'd be more likely they'd place all the blame for their oppression on the
smh Should've known Japan would've produced something along those lines already, lol.

Yay Easter.
Yay my relatives saying how the attempted kidnapping of Governor Whitner could set her up as a valid presidential candidate.
Yay my mom laughing at me when I tell her about the FBI agents involves.
Yay everyone laughing when I mention that Wikipedia can be trusted as a source for their left leaning asses because it is a left leaning source.
I just fucking love Easter. Next year I should see if I can find rabbit meat.

Are we absolutely sure that family has to be part of conservative values? I'm sure that if I dig enough I can find a bible verse or Roman philosopher who said "fuck it" (paraphrased).
The family is essential. You have to remember that your family is the one you create with your wife/husband.
You are still required to honor your parents.
As a Christian you should also help bring all those in your family to Christ.

Thank God I'm one of those then.
Happy Easter to those who celebrate it.
I miss the days when I was a kid, though -- Easter meant a harvest of Easter Eggs and chocolates (my mother loved buying the discounted chocolates, heh).
