I think I speak for most people when I say that I’m a good representative of the general population.

  • I’m in the divorce process and in many ways I’m terrified of reaching the point where I am past the grief and feeling a need to fill that void.

    We met over ten years ago because I posted a personals ad on a local r4r titled “Creepy guy seeks woman way out of his league”. Everything seems 5000x more gamified now.

    I’m somewhat awkward, so I’m a lot more comfortable putting off phone or video for a few days. With that said, I really want to avoid the shame and frustration that comes with taking a full hour to realize I’ve been treating a chatbot like a real human being.


  • I just got out of a five-week hospital stay and I think giving the conservative estimate for your pain rankings is pretty helpful in being taken seriously when your pain actually gets bad.

    Some of the roommates I got over that time were absurd. “What’s your pain level at now?” “It’s worse than earlier, it’s at a 10.” “A 10 is the worst pain you can imagine. You said your pain was at a 10 last time we talked.” “Oh yeah, I mean it’s got to be at a 10.5 or something now.” Guy is clearly comfy sitting up in bed eating a meal.

    There was one point where I was in so much pain and I gave a 9 which I think was accurate, and I suspect they may have taken more time to attend to me if I hadn’t been trying to give genuine answers for my pain rankings through the previous couple weeks I had been there.
