I think Rufus noticed my "systematic approach" to using the same search query over and over so I can be mad at it, and now it no longer tries to get the vacuum involved at all. "Perfect! Go look at cat litter, since you seem to be obsessed."

Another attempt from my phone finally yielded a response about the vacuum AND cat litter, but it's just regurgitated from the product info. The one reference to the customer reviews that I wanted to search didn't relate to cat litter

I tried to search the reviews again from my laptop, and the AI response briefly acknowledged my question (with another "actually" thrown in) before trying to direct me to cat litter boxes

Amazon's shared search field for AI help and customer reviews sure is convenient! I didn't fucking ask you, Rufus, so don't "WELL, ACTUALLY" me when there are four reviews that mention the word "litter." It even managed to sneak in the classic "it's not this—it's that" LLM structure

I tried taking a picture of my black cat Halloween socks yesterday to send to a friend, but Bean was outraged that I wasn't paying attention to him instead

Holy fuck dude, I'm glad you're all right. Here is a picture of Bean's big leg, if that helps at all

Bean wouldn't stop trying to open the cabinet under my kitchen sink, so I got a child safety lock. And now look at this absolute bastard

I sped up a video of a Balenciaga fashion show because I was just looking for one specific model I'd seen in a different clip. I wasn't prepared for this. Incredible

I've been collecting pictures of really bad apartment kitchens where they just scatter appliances in a room wherever they happen to fit, often with no counter space, sometimes not even in the same room

The shy refrigerator in this crappy apartment kitchen is funny on its own, but holy god that must be the worst possible place for a mini-split

I also can't stop thinking about the way Irv says "should've gone for the castanets." It makes me wish I had the nerve to affect a transatlantic accent and become even more insufferable

P.S. I was trying to look up deafness in white animals (it's a little more complex than I thought, but still basically related to pigment in the inner ear), and I got this on one of the pages I read. Do I, though. Do I really.

You're going to have to incorporate a giant crab for H. (You were THIS CLOSE to coming home to a front yard full of these.)

Oh, what I was trying to articulate about his eyes is that for a moment the light was at an angle where I could just barely see the reddish glint of his tapetum lucidum, even though it wasn't fully glowing, similar to this picture of Muffy

I had to kick Bean out of my basket of clean sheets to make my bed, and he was so annoyed that he didn't even let me put them back on the bed properly before trying to resume his nap

Bean gets mad when the laptop takes over his rightful place in my lap, and I was willing to compromise and awkwardly hunch over him, but no, evidently that still wasn't good enough
