It’s to prevent a small child from falling arse-first into the crapper and causing a blockage.

A pretty early chatbot called Eliza simulated a non-directive psychotherapist. It kind of feels like they’ve improved hugely but not really changed much.

Yeah, same here. I’m not nearly as active here as I was on reddit, but there’s not as much going on here and activity feeds itself. It’s fine, I read more books.

Yeah, right now I got a big meaty spider with a neat little web up in my corner near the ceiling. She wants to chill there and eat flies and I’m cool with that. But the moment she starts getting frisky and scampering around the room is when she’s getting evicted. Rules be rules.

Sounds kind of like my experience when I ended up in Spain teaching English to a class of fifteen 7 and 8 year old Spanish girls. My Spanish was terrible, their English wasn’t great, it was carnage. Eventually I more work teaching adults and learned Spanish but it was a messy time.

Yeah, my journey was just the same as yours. I’m reading more books now, though, so that’s cool.
