Imagine having less game than a fucking AI *and* thinking this would work as a tactic. Give me strength.

“Chatfished” is an excellent word for it though.

Presumably this is intended to repel the healthcare professionals whose conference is down the hall from here.

Not entirely sure why I haven’t done this after re:Invent every year tbh. Miami is just the right temperature at this time of year, and mostly on the way home.

So long re:Invent, it’s been real. Next stop: Miami! ✈️🏝️
