I've lost count of the number of times just this week that I have accidentally clicked an "AI" button in a service or software, which means a bunch of services are counting me as a regular active "AI" user despite me being about as hardcore "no generative AI, nowhere" software guy as they come.

i really do enjoy the whole vibe of sport, the crowd is so fun, the costumes, the singing!!! kinda wanna go to one now

- Clayton: chill guy. I like him
- Hood: he’s so fun!!! big fan!!! if every sport had this guy in it, maybe i’d watch them more often!!!

so far my opinions are:
- Ratajski: classic Polish wf teacher. big fan
- Searle: if legolas and gimli had a child, this is what the kid would look like. big fan
- Littler: bitchy vibe. reminds me of a heel in wrestling? but when he starts talking, he seems nicer? idk. not a fan

not the first time this happens blacksky.community/profile/did:...
