I mean yeah, I saw the Hank Green video from a couple days ago or something where he was on bluesky and ended up realizing he was talking to a disagree bot, and that's got this air of awful dead internet dystopia to it. But to be accused of being one, myself? Fuck you.

This is a case where I'm going to do brain surgery with a backhoe. Disagree bots are now a thing that exist on the internet. So if I find myself arguing with someone who doesn't seem to have an actual idea they're arguing for they're just disagreeing with me, I'm going to dismiss them as a worthless troll, automated or not.

Also, I knew what I was arguing for, but time passed, I woke up in the middle of the night to take a leak, and I saw you'd called me a bot so all that stuff about "Don't kill yourself! If your family and everyone around you is a cunt, then ignore then, maybe leave them!" went in the trash. Mostly because being called a bit when I feel I'm so obviously not a bot is jarring, and I feel like my ideal of the internet is crumbling into an unrecoverable mess.

And me, you still think I'm some fucking automation?

Comedy requires I answer "yes."

Nah fuck you, man. How could a bot make a topical obscure reference like this:

And I'm not even much of a reference guy.
