Yeah my guess is, that it's either not meant to be funny but more like though provoking or existential horror inducing. In the other hand it can be funny as in "I'm laughing at everything that stresses me to cope with things I can't control"

Yeah, this theory is not airtight even without me cutting corners in the explanation to keep it brief.
I imagine you can fix the holes with some thinking and speculation, but then again, does it really matter if you are just a "NPC" I mean for everyone else you are, but to yourself it's only you who can answer that. I can't look into your head and you can't look into mine (metaphorically speaking) so we can only give each other the benefit of doubt.
But how do you unsuspend when your entire conscious is not doing anything?
Interpretation a) they are not real. They are part of the game/simulation and are not real, therefore they can't log out.
Interpretation b) they don't have the correct command. Sometimes computer are very nitpicky on what they understand and how you have to formulate a command. But one person seems to say exactly the same as the one who logged out, so either the computer is very nitpicky on the specific timing of words, or the command is user specific.
Interpretation c) they are not allowed to do that. Like in they don't have permission to execute the logout command, like you don't have permission to shutdown the computer infopoint in a mall. Or think of it like the matrix, where someone doesn't want to let you out.
Interpretation d) subconsciously they don't want to. Imagine the command is not what you say but what you really want, so they can't log out, because subconsciously they do not want to.
Personally I tend to interpretation a) because there is this theory that in an endless or nearly universe, it is basically given, that some species will invent a computer that is capable of simulating an universe, which in turn will have a simulation going, because the same rules apply. Now if you follow this train of thought, you will arrive at the conclusion that for every universe, if there are multiple, there is a basically endless number is simulated ones, which makes the chances that you are not part of a simulation practically zero. Yeah, so that's that.
Ah yes the good old chat surveillance, or Chat-Kontrolle, like it's called here in Germany. This is a topic that bubbles up time and time again and we can't seem to get rid of it.
I'm really not sure if those politicians are really this naive that it could work and not be abused, but I don't really know whose money is behind this either.
I'm so tired of this topic, it's like a cancer that keeps coming back with the same arguments, that have been disproven time and time again.
It's like a depression, when you least expect it, there it is and coming to pull you down and destroy everything you build for yourself.
It's like the rot in the walls of a building that you can just not get dry.
Like all of these things, there is only one option: fight against it. It's even trickier, because it's on EU level, but not impossible.
We have prevented it in the past and we will prevent it again!
Diet specialists hate this trick.
To be fair, I don't think so, there will probably years that still be relatively cold or even colder than previously. Climate change is about extremes getting more extreme.
Well, technically, no consequences are some kind of consequences. But I really do hope that he will pay for what he did wrong.
He can in fact do whatever he wants, he just needs to deal with the consequences of his actions.
Nurses are very dangerous, you know. With all those nursing doodads and things like needles. I'm surprised that there isn't even one tank there an they are this close. They should keep that in mind when they call in air support or an artillery strike.

To be completely honest, dwarf fortress is way more complex then tic-tac-toe.
