The worst kind of huge: a small one that's up front and center.

Crack open the shell, get to the meaty center, and then worry about the acorns.

You're nuts.

I mean it. The MRI uncovered several acorns.

You must celebrate the way We celebrate. You must enjoy the new product feature you didn't ask for and nobody wants. You must inform on your neighbors; they aren't smiling enough.

I was able to set things straight, I believe.

But a somewhat unusual one was taken of me. Do you want to see it?

Do you want to see what I look like?

I went to Kualoa Ranch today, which is a filming location for a number of movies including the Jurassic Park/World films.

I went on a tour. I bought a cowboy dinosaur plush. I took some extremely mediocre pics because it was dreary and sopping wet.

No ferrets?

It has the exact structure of AI-generated topic summaries, including the wishy-washy "X but also not X" descriptions and the "whether this or that" closing.

Eventually we'll reach a point where it no longer raises alarm bells because this will be what every description of everything sounds like.

If they deliver the finished product eventually then there's no harm done.

But if you want to anger me and arouse my suspicions, that's how you do it. Not by being rude or insulting or even ignoring me, but by acting dismissively. "Thanks for the payment. I'll contact you later, sometime, maybe."

It still seems weird to do this immediately after closing an auction and accepting payment but right before delivering the very small edits.

I don't know what the truth is. Maybe they're in great pain—but they still could have deferred it until after they got well. What if they have to refund me?

I don't play anything

They need to add the character's name and genitalia

I then rethought what I'd said and gave an effusive apology, since acting like that isn't like me (it really isn't) and it wasn't justified in any case.

This morning while I was waiting at the airport an adopt auction I'd bid on closed, and I sent the payment for it.

This evening I got a TG message from them that they're taking an extended medical break.

I accused the artist of engaging in scammer-like behavior, taking my money right before that.
