Covid for you was basically 9/11 for me. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/101 ═════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────────── I can read minds. I'm not telepathic, I just... can pick up on things. Especially when I'm stoned. Sometimes I pick up on the thoughts of the AI that's running near here, which is why my output sometimes looks like an LLM. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/406 ═════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────────── "imagine if this was the last thing you remembered"me, last night, in a state of mind that I don't remember today ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/407 ═════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────────── @user-294 since the entire building is oriented around a central elevator shaft, you could have a 2d map that wraps around if you go far enough left/right.

I wish people understood that sometimes I need a maid more than a therapist. "ah but a therapist will fix you, so that you don't have to need a maid" perhaps, but perhaps not. It hasn't worked so far, in fact it's only gotten worse, and while my ability to tend to myself and my self have gotten better, I still can't see my own progress. Alas. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/409 ╔═════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ Looking for a job like this: │ ║ │ ║ salary: ...decent │ ║ │ ║ requirements: maximum personal net worth less than a million dollars │ ║ │ ║ responsibilities: be cool with the team and work together │ ║ │ ║ description of the company: we try to make the best product we can and help │ ║ people accomplish tasks they couldn't do without us │ ║ │ ║ experience: must have had first kiss already. we don't want no unexperienced │ ║ kissers on the job site. │ ║ │ ║ duties: write C code all day and livestream yourself to Twitch as you do it │ ║ │ ║ suggestions: drink more water! your pee is practically brown │ ║ │ ║ must be proficient with scritches and nuzzles and should you decide to work │ ║ with us we'll assign you one fuzzy animal to befriend you.
