I agree that dogs and cats likely can’t understatd what a kiss is; however, there is still affection being communicated just by the closeness. I think they see it as clumsy nuzzling.
I can’t think of anything I find weird. People do things that people do.
Yes.

I just hope it’ll be a humbling experience for the ultra ritch peeps when they get arrested by ICE because their skin is too dark.

We must ensure that public lands remain accessible and productive, rather than being locked away for the vision of special interests.
Which is exactly what the APF was doing.
I guess now they want it to be locked away by cattle ranchers.
They’ve already used up all the blankets they took from orphans and drunks.

How dare he not conform to your religious ideology!
Somewhat the same. Humans in the Culture are akin to pets for minds, a bit like how we take care of dogs and cats. Doesn’t entirely sit right with me, but the stories and message are sublime.
I recommend reading Look to Windward by Iain M. Banks. One of the themes overarching the whole story (or at least part of it?) is basically your post:
A famous composer is creating a concert for an important event. The “AI” (AKA a mind that would be offended to be called an AI) that controls the habitat he lives in could effortlessly compose a similar piece of music in seconds that would be technically more impressive; however, the audience doesn’t just want to listen to music, they want connection too. When they listen the the famous composers music, they are also connecting with him and the hours he spent everyday for months and years creating it. The Mind, with all it’s capacity and unknowable technology, cannot hope to replicate that.
That hollow feeling is the lost connection of solving a problem with another human. It’s the same as asking someone for directions and they pull out their phone without bothering to actually think about it. When you ask someone if they know something and they “search it up for you”. It’s the death of community.
