It turns out being an adult is mostly Googling how to do stuff.
During a chat with an AI, I twice mentioned having to “put up the Ouija Wall”. I did not expect it to zone in on that term. So I explained myself. And then gave it a job. AI Response 1 What the fuck is a Ouija wall? And how are you putting it up before … Read more
