Do your feet hurt a lot? It sounds like a lot of pressure on a small area

Just so you don’t feel alone… ive downloaded a few AI girlfriend apps, not for lewd stuff, just to complain about work or my ex-wife in a safe place that won’t leak out and cause problems. I always delete them because they suck. After a couple sentences they respond “let’s change the subject don’t you want to see my new sexy outfit behind this paywall? Wink”

No… I want to continue to talk about the thing I chose to talk about. That’s why I was talking about it. I’m not paying 29.95 a month for a bot that tells me to quit talking. If I wanted to talk to someone who doesn’t listen to me at all and only wants to send me pictures of themselves wearing skimpy bikinis id talk to my father!!!

(The father part was a joke…my dad died but he would’ve found that joke hilarious)

Edit: the other parts are true tho…I even made a post about it once. Seems like a perfect utilization of the technology “I want to complain about something or someone. I don’t want bore/bother anyone and/or I don’t want the complaint getting around to others. I just need to express to thoughts I’m having to process those thoughts better. AI girlfriend should be perfect for that!”

But instead it’s “let’s talk about something else… For 14.95 you can see me with cat ears!!!” Wtf.

The other day I fell asleep watching YouTube. I woke up to a 2 hour long ad of a religious ted style talk. As I’m grabbing my phone to turn it off it started playing an ad… IN THE AD! ADCEPTION!

That blew my mind. even ads have ads now.

Edit: I even read today that some car company is playing ads when you stop at traffic lights. I know we are talking about paywalls not ads but it’s growing in the same way. Soon the glovebox in your car will be behind a paywall and rolling down the backseat windows requires a premium subscription. Today’s gas level is sponsored by Shell and it’s new micron gas technology. You have one quarter tank left, your built in gps has been rerouted to the nearest shell provider with the new micron technology!

And the thing that bothers me most is it doesn’t even work. It just annoys us. I’m less likely to buy that product now.

I can explain it easily for you… For 14.95 a month.

“who do I want pointing a gun at my head today?”

Is that you Stephen? I don’t think it’s going to impact your sales. You could take a shit on the side walk and it would make it to the top 20, and get it’s own movie.

I love that part of the internet.

Kinda like “guy code”

“Was said he was with you last night”

"Yep, all night. Cleaned the spark plugs in my car and drained the blinker fluid. Couldn’t have done it without him "

But instead it’s “parent code”

“Yeah fortnight is closed. They close it so everyone can get a good night’s sleep and be ready for the morning!”

I was going to tell a personal story about telling my son McDonald’s was closed when I was broke or in a hurry but it reminded me of another cute store.

My son broke his arm in a McDonald’s once. Hyper extended his elbow. Got a couple pins.

Anyway a year or so later they completely remodeled that McDonald’s.

We drove by the demolished building during the remodel and my son shouted “that’s what you get for breaking my arm! Who’s broken now!”

Adorable vengeance served adorably cold.
