Oh my god I just wrote an email and it sounds like ChatGPT. What have I become?

I watched The Wild Robot. Absolutely beautiful. Great use of symbolism, and it expertly handled the theme of motherhood. It's a feminine movie in a way princess films often aren't. Bonus points for making me cry. I should watch Arcane, on the animation front. Feeling cautious about the new HTTYD.

The state of healthcare in Alberta, Christ. Collected a sample for a test at my doctor's clinic. She told me that the lab doesn't pick up Friday samples anymore. If I want the results sooner than Monday, I need to drive there to drop it off myself. Those days matter if I need antibiotics. WTAF.

Anyone else like to work through lists by eliminating the first and last entries in sequence? I write tests this way too. My teachers probably think I'm weird. Not that they're wrong.

#stellaris dev diary today makes me pretty darn happy. This is how a game should be run. Also, finally, cyborg clone ascendants. Now I just gotta resist the urge to play while I stare at my pile of marking ....

Seriously, academia is wack. Sure, I'll do research, but even my own PI thinks it's weird that I'm just doing this master's as a stepping stone towards a teaching position. Stick me in a tiny college so I can teach computing to the underprivileged kids. I don't give a damn about my h-index.

My favourite cheater so far this semester was some kid who put the assignment through ChatGPT, copied its response word for word into a notebook... then submitted the most awful, poorly angled photos. It was math. He was supposed to show his work, line by line, not write a proof.
