Thanks. One of them needs to be fixed, for sure. I'm going to see if a local org can help with that maybe.

I came, I saw, I shopped. Thanks for the sale; my hobby shop pals will love their presents!

I honestly have no idea what's true anymore even though I really do try to be mindful of critical thinking. It's fucking hard, actually.

I am not a cat rescue so I have no idea what I am doing. I have been very stressed out and anxious about coming down here and getting these cats. This is all very complicated and sad.

For the record, the guy silently judging me from afar would be up here also but he is currently mad at me because I tried to clean his ears & take his eye crusties.

Maybe I'll go to the Indian buffet tomorrow. That sounds nice. Or, if I get up early, maybe a breakfast buffet.

Maybe go thrifting. That also sounds nice.

I don't even try to get the deals online anymore. I will queue for hours and still get nothing because, bots. Walmart in Culpeper put out Black Friday Pokémon cards in the store several weeks ago. I missed them. You have to be in group chats & wait in lines.

I grow tired and weary.

This will be the first year in forever that I have not gotten Pokémon cards at Target or Walmart on Black Friday. You used to be able to just go in the store & buy them. On the day after Thanksgiving.

Yeah. So it goes. :(

I agree with this. I think the majority of men are capable of terrible things. They lean toward it, in fact.

It was my first ever scare! I'm typically very careful!
November 28, 2025 at 1:10 AM
It does! It feels so sad!

That's men. Men absolutely do not need the chatbots. They need other humans. And I'm not sure how to explain this but I think there might be something in these chatbots that pings the same part of the brain that addiction does. That really worries me a lot.

Right now, my stepdad is bored out of his mind. He retired & has no purpose. My mom says he is spending a lot of money. He goes to Lowes everyday & messes with the house. He won't talk to her. He needs friends & hobbies & therapy. Someone needs to make him talk about shit!

When I have had severe mental breakdowns, I have been yelled at until I "get help". Sometimes against my will. I am broken & must be fixed. Men just get to cause chaos & hurt people & be completely unaccountable. These chatbots are an extension of that, I think.

Society perpetuates this stuff, by the way. I have no clue how to undo it. My stepdad tried to kill himself a few months ago & we swept it under the rug & don't talk about it. He didn't have to go to a hospital, see a doc/therapist, or take meds. He has not talked about it at all.

It was so upsetting to hear how earnest this man was about using AI to connect with his kids when he could be having actual human connections.

It occurred to me that these chatbots were created by and for men. This is men "connecting", I guess
