Because they're supposed to be responsible to and represent the people who voted for them. Irrelevant to this situation.

It's different because there might be some people who you always end up downvoting their comments and you don't even realize it's the same person because you don't look at user names and there aren't really that many prolific commenters here so they will see that you're always downvoting them and assume malice in a way that they wouldn't otherwise because they're not going through your comments, they're only looking at theirs.

For example, this comment just a few down:

I’m mildly curious if the single down vote I get on ~70% of my comments is from like one guy I pissed off at some point. At the same time I don’t care enough to work around the system, so maybe it works?

They immediately assume that if one person is downvoting them it is malice instead of maybe that one person just disagrees with their comments for other reasons and isn't even looking at user names.

Edit: I just noticed you did the same thing in your comment too. There are not that many users here, just because someone is consistently downvoting your comments doesn't mean they are following you around, there isn't a lot of content and people who spend time here see a lot of it. Maybe they just disagree with every comment you make that they happen to see and have no idea or care who you are.

Money can take away a lot of your problems but it can't make you enjoy your life. That's a skill you have to learn that starts with being comfortable with yourself and listening to yourself. A lot of people can't handle doing that and it's why they stay so miserable. Money won't help with that, it only helps with having your most base needs met. She's miserable because she never put in the effort to learn to not be and so she turns to the internet for an outlet to remove some of her misery but of course it can't do that and so she becomes more miserable and lashes out more and more just like anyone else regardless of money. True peace comes from within and within she is hollow and vapid.

It's impossible to prove that someone ‘never failed a gender test’ you can only prove that someone passed or failed a specific test. Maybe if you understood logic and critical thinking a bit better it might help you in your life. I'd recommend learning.

Nothing exists in a vacuum. Once someone believes one thing without evidence, they are likely to believe more things without evidence and people act on their beliefs. That's the fundamental problem, believing things without evidence. Once you are comfortable with having that door open, it doesn't stop at one thing and nothing else.

Technology-wise, most modern “analog” wristwatches are quartz, and therefore digital, not actually analog.

Wat.. that's not how that works. Quartz watches can be digital or analog but what matters is whether it has a digital display or analog hands.

I'm a watch nerd with a collection of mechanical watches and I'm not going to downvote you because you're right. I wear them because I like them even though I know they are anachronistic. I can't remember the last time I interacted with somebody significantly younger than me who was wearing a watch, and as I said, I'm a watch nerd, someone's watch is one of the first things I notice about them.

I will say that they are occasionally more convenient than other places I could check the time but I've built my life in such a way that I very rarely have to care about what time it is and I go weeks at a time without checking the time, just wearing them because I'm fascinated by tiny gears and springs doing their business and I like the feeling of it on my wrist.

That looks pretty ugly. I'm not really a fan of trying to make computers look more like phones but I think I'm in the minority there. Oh well, I never use the start menu anyways, I only have a few programs and they're all pinned to my taskbar.

You're thinking about 'general AI'

Just plain old AI includes the ability to analyze data and make recommendations which this is. Therefore this falls under the broad definition of AI.
