A.I. Thee Wed: Humans should be able to marry robots.
Slate ^ | August 10, 2015 | Gary Marchant

The Supreme Court’s recent 5–4 decision in Obergefell v. Hodges legalizing same-sex marriage across the United States has already spawned speculation about “what will be next” in expanding marital rights. As the Supreme Court noted, “[t]he history of marriage is one of both continuity and change. That institution … has evolved over time.” Interracial marriage, equality between husband and wife, and same-sex marriage were all excluded for long periods of time under our Constitution but now have been sanctioned and protected by the courts. While these changes have come slowly, and courts are unlikely to take the next step in expanding marital rights for some time, the courts are probably not finished expanding the legal definition of marital rights.

Yeah, a human fault also found in the robots: gold on the second digit of the left hand short-circuits wiring to the vagina.
But that’s OK, because if robowife gets mad at you she can squeeze your **** off.

These days, all you need is one “adventurous” Federal judge, and, voila, the robot spouse will have be have those rights and responsibilities.

sealing records can be unsealed for cause.

In court cases it requires both parties.

Divorce cases are emotional and often full of lawyer funded BS. (spending money on mistresses, cheating, financial lying etc)

When child custody is involved it gets even uglier.

Sealing records eliminates that blackmail.

It’s like Matt G, Matt S, and Trey had access to some kind of crystal ball over the years...the things we used to laugh at for its sheer absurdity...are now becoming reality...

The reasoning here is pretty much the same as the attraction of homosexuality.

Not having to figure out how to live with someone of the opposite sex that thinks differently has an attractive quality,

but it’s not how were meant to select a partner in life.

Already done. The ceremony in Riften was attended by a few close friends and for the Honeymoon we went out and killed a Skooma dealer. It was very romantic all in all... In the eye of Terrible and Mighty Talos, all pixels are created equal. ;)

I don’t think so.
I don’t think they “need” to walk any further down the slippery slope.
The actual goal is accomplished.

Christian beliefs are now criminal.

They just understand the minds of liberals. Any 4 year old can tell you all sorts of fantastical things their imagination has invented or solved. Liberals simply never advance beyond the logic of children so it’s a pretty safe bet that they pursue absurdity once they have the financial means to act on their fantasy.

[ I’d marry Anita/Mia in a heartbeat. ]

I’d buy Anita/Mia and throw away the “special sealed envelope”

Because i would want her to actually help out around the house and help me keep it clean.

That and I wouldn’t want to be in a robot lesbian relationship :P
