My method lately has been walking up to them and talking to them like a child. "Hi, this isn't a good place to stop. You are blocking an aisle. Can you walk to the side to finish what you're doing? Please be considerate of other people in the future." and people get wildly embarrassed lmao.

I will say, I appreciated the conclusions. Mostly that the hosts felt, overall, that they didn't get much from ai tools and probably wouldn't bother with it much going forward, and that it was a fad that'd fizzle out fairly quickly, which would do a lot to alleviate the power issues it causes.

"i used it to plan my road trip!" isn't part of the fun exploring what YOU want to see?
"I use it to write text messages" isn't constructing what you want to say to someone useful for your OWN processing??

I just... why do you want to exist less and learn less and think less??

idk man I also had one of these and afaik she is still out there being used somewhere!!!! $300 and she had 300k miles on her, but we def got YEARS of dependable use from that car and I'd get another ( of that era ) in a heartbeat. Plus owning outright > car payment and better mileage, imo....

TRULY!! She's also honestly pretty chill, crazy for a bengal!! She spends most of the day just napping next to me while I work, perfect childe... ;;

I think I’m gonna call her chickpea!!! My friend found her in the TRASH lol, I spent a couple weeks trying to find where she belongs, but I think she’s totally abandoned so… kitten 4 me. :3c

she's sooo pretty!!! She's also a huge chiller haha, just wants to vibe wherever I am. ;; Can't believe someone found her in the TRASH lol, best garbage baby.

Omg she IS!!!! Tiny snep!! In my house!!

Sorry to my therapist that budget cuts ended our sessions, cause she'd fuckin love all of this haha. I really do feel so ready to leave that version of me in the past with full confidence that I AM better and continuing to improve.

I can't go back, but I can look at the proof of my progress in the people that HAVE chosen to stay in my life, who hold me accountable, and who feel like I treat them well. I really do look at my ex and just...feel like they found a way more compatible partner in that whole mess, good for them!!

My issues in my last relationship ( and many others ) were because I felt beholden to someone and unable to be fully honest, that isn't healthy OR fair to my partner. I've said for years I won't date til I am confidently stable on my own, and I'm not there yet, so I stay workin on me!!

I've also done my best to not hide from those situations, to apologize and be accountable for my behavior when I do fuck up!! Trying to recognize that being in bad situations does not mean I caused them or made them worse, even though I am the common denominator.

oh lmao speaking this into the universe got me some WILD unexpected closure. Turns out this awkwardness is not completely on me, so I am just gonna continue doing my best to be polite and have a nice time in my community. ✌️ All I got!!
