Just saw an advertisement for California Psychics dot com on YouTube and the actor is giving almost the exact same performance as the actors in the Better Help adverts.

"You know I don't usually do this kinda thing but I thought I would try it out and you WON'T BELEIVE what happened!"

Duamn is one of my all-time favorite artists, and favorite people in general. He just got laid off. He's in Latin America. He's NOT AI.

Pretty please if you have art needs, hit him up.

I think I might have similar tastes? Some of my favourite bits of AP's are when there are digressions into why choices are being made, how we imagine certain things happening, "above the table" conversations etc. that interact or exist alongside the fiction level.

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!
A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

I’m l not gonna lie, these questions suck but you should let them know how and why. We all need to tell them that this is mostly a grift. It is obvious by the way the questions are framed that they don’t know.
