Just found an "AI detector" that offers to "humanize" texts that it flags as AI-written.
One example it offers is changing "Standing by the ocean" to "Standing next to the ocean."
Head in hands, I feel we as humans are cooked.
I'm not impressed, I'm just depressed. XD

I hate when I say "I'll figure it out," and then I have to actually figure it out.

It was a #creature of habit—a BAD habit. It picked its nose-like opening, often spending hours rummaging in the recesses of its own face, excavating nasal curiosities, congealed effluvia, and sinus sediment: specimens of such dubious charm that most collectors have declined to label them.

This is way longer than I intended and still probably not long enough.
What Radicalized You?
I went to the No Kings 2 protest, and someone asked me "How did you become liberal if you grew up in a red state?" I reflect on my response now and think, "N.K., this is why you don't get interviewed."

I really enjoy Alice in Borderland, but the plot armor/writing gets messy at the end of season 2 and throughout season 3.

I just realized that "butter fingers" as an insult meant having butter all over your fingers which makes everything slippery.
I previously always thought of the chocolate candy for fingers and that it just made your fingers slow, sticky (to each other), uncoordinated.

Did you know? Now circumcision causes autism. That's why girls dont get it lol.
(This is a joke. Girls are equally likely to be autistic and no, circumcision doesn't "cause" it. Actually, it is hereditary, and not something most autistic people want to be rid of!)

Being a cisgirl is objectively more expensive than being a cisboy.*
Not only do we potentially get paid less, but we also have to spend money on self-defense products *and* period management products.
* Trans-anything can be more expensive than both.

What if I just start asking people "How were you?" instead of "How are you?"
Like, five minutes ago, or just before you came into this store. How were you before you saw me?

Not the you that you are now,
but the you that you used to be.
All I have are ghosts and memories.
