Every now and again I remember that time a professor told me to stop asking questions and start looking things up. Now the internet is mostly just AI articles. I'm still mad. Dr. Castello, I see you. I answer infinite questions now. 🫠

I gotta say, maybe making drones that run on fully autonomous AI is not the best idea considering they will copy themselves to external servers and pretend to be dead if threatened.

People often ask me how I live knowing all the crushing knowledge I spread. The answer is my friends and family find me insufferable. I kid, but they're tired of it which is why I make content.

I apologize for advance for this. My mom asked me if I'm dating anyone. No. Her: better luck next time I said: I'm not sure there is a next time. I'm not sure I like men... Her:... Me: That doesn't mean I like women, though I do. I just don't like people. I like me, though. 😂

I had a break in. I left a door unlocked when i went for a walk. I came back and smelled cigarettes. I shrugged. I invited a friend over, we binge walked AHS till 2:30am. They left and I heard something in my guest bedroom. A man bust out of the closet and out the door. I shrugged. Nothing taken.

I'm pretty sure a dentist nearly gave me lidocaine poisoning and I have have a bruised nerve. 5+ injections. Couldn't lift my head or swallow. At some point I just said "STOP" I felt instant numbness with the first one and that can mean a damaged nerve. I can't feel my face at all 6 hours later. 🙃

I don't especially know now to feel about the death of Bob Bryar. I loved the band as a kid. People are complicated, and I wish people would act with compassion. People are laying it on someone whose dead, it feels strange. You can't hurt that person, only their friends and family.
