"but you won't have sensations and feelings like you would in a human body. things like pain and lust will register as data that you can ignore instead of reacting to organically."
"yeah, if you could liquefy that idea and hook it directly to my veins, that would be super."
GIVE ME DATA instead of raw impulses and neurons misfiring. i will build emulators to keep me on the right side of reason and dump the rest as extraneous.
you have no idea how tired i am of pain. i developed a whole philosophy about accepting pain as a means of viewing the universe in a mystical way for a fictional character of mine, and tried mightily to apply it to my personal situation as a means of dealing, and failed hard after about five minutes. why? because pain HURTS.
give me steel give me steel, give me pulses unreal...

@zx3 "From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass that you called a temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the machine is immortal."
