My nephew (sister's kid, she's *extremely* religious) wants a trad wife. Stay home, raise kids, cook, clean, a virgin until marriage...
Good luck with that, kid. You don't want a wife you want a sex slave/maid/babysitter.

🎶You probably didn't even know it, but I am a fiddle player too
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll just make a bet with you
Now you're playin' pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the Devil his due
I'll bet a fiddle o' gold against your soul, I think I'm better than you🎶

Of course the wealthy are enamored with AI. Money and AI are shortcuts to an output (a crappy one) they don't want to do the hard work to create.
Want to make "art" but don't want to learn the process? AI.
Born wealthy? No need to be competent at a job because money earns more money.

It's TRANS AWARENESS WEEK and that means it's a great week to ignore the hysterical nonsense of bigots and understand that Trans people are awesome and deserve respect and love.

On a base level, this is just mildly amusing, but for some reason it actually hits as a 15 out of 10. Well done!
