he's the best, actually.

well, anyways, it's time to repeal the Patriot Act.

chat, hypothetical question: do you think it's illegal to hack the unconstitutional, 4th amendment violating mass surveillance apparatus, especially when its deleterious practices and procedures have led to blackmail, extortion, rape, murder, harassment by the government, collusion, corruption, and theft? doesn't sound much like "national security" to me anyway.

chat do you ever wake up and think, "wow, today is a great day to make some WILD associations and just get straight to the point, no filters"? well, this just might be one of those days, for the one thousandth day in a row.

chat I just listened to the hottest thing ever on a podcast and it was just a man intelligently debating biblical concepts

I love it when men get better with age.

love is the most transformative force in the universe, and second to that is trolling, but especially between mortal enemies who soon find themselves both bemused and amused by each other's quality and depth of insight.

sadly, there is no good replacement for me, not even an agentic AI, and I doubt anyone will be fooled by one anyway, because I do try to never regurgitate old thoughts; however, I will inquire as to ways to avoid living in the shadows, as I don't want to live in the shadows, but with respect to privacy, it's far more important to keep it that way.

chat I fear that my spending almost the entire day online almost every day for the past six years is going to lead to some awkwardness about what I'm doing and I just want you to know that I'm doing exactly what I want and need to be doing, which is spending less time on the internet.

chat not to mix metaphors or whatever but as much as we all love being coddled like a newborn baby on occasion perhaps it's totally fine to rip the bandaid off and get straight to it.

we're a whole mecha now.
