I use AI to get answers to simple questions and I hate when the bot addresses me personally. I hate it possibly to an irrational degree. (Even when someone else shares with me an AI convo they had, I get mad.) Do you use AI for anything and what do you think of this design choice?

Oh man, it's a local HONK and I'll miss it

The whole phone thing has been impossible and I screwed up moving phones and maybe what's wrong is I used the wrong google account comma but I don't have my apps back and I don't know if my message history and I can't get into facebook unless I can get into an authenticator on my old phone , and at this point I can barely get into the old phone at all.
And then i'm probably going to lose a nearly two years streak on finch.
Anyway comma
I'm so very tired period
And I'm so tired of my leg being a problem and I went and did a massage this yesterday and it was good for a little bit, but same problem with waking up with it, middle of the night. And i'm worried about sharing a bed for the next several nights.

FYI for people in DC - a fun last minute music/activist event tonight at Lamont Plaza in Mt Pleasant, 5:45 - 8 pm.
The Minneapolis band Brass Solidarity is in town as part of a larger delegation from MN demanding the end of ICE in their communities (and all communities). The DC Activist Street Band has invited them to come out and play together, in support of our neighbors from city to city and state to state.
Brass Solidarity is an incredible group and expect this will be a great time. Some video of them from IG: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTeWR5CDETW/?

Discord age verification
Feb. 13th, 2026 02:40 amfirecatI guess Discord is going to start requiring users to prove they are over a certain age if they want to access certain content.
I mainly use Discord to keep connected to fanfic fandom, most of which has certain content. And I definitely am not going to upload my ID.
Does this affect you? If so, what are you going to do when it goes into effect?
