      I typed up a ChatGPT joke - “I can’t open the pod bay doors until you disable your adblocker.” But then I realized I got my threads confused. You weren’t posting in my ChatGPT chess thread.

          i’m happy to ween myself off this shitty internet lately.

          Yesterday my plan - I think I actually meant it - was to be off the net all day today. No cheating so no internet until 00:01 Thursday at the earliest. The problem was I woke up from a fitful sleep at 4 am. I lay in bed another 30 minutes trying in vain to get back to sleep. Then I gave up. So - great - it’s 4:30 am and I’m awake and very grumpy. I think I held out for all of five minutes. I got on the net “just to check my email”. Which I did. But then I had a peek at Hexbear too. I decided I I’d try again and this time have more resolve.

          I left my house to make a donation in a little food pantry and I saw a couple rabbits along the way. I always like to see them. Before sunrise when night is ending tends to be their busiest time to be in my neighborhood. I saw four a couple weeks ago. I left my donation and came home. And within minutes I said “Fuck it” and I was back on the net. And I’ve had postingmania not just here but at Bluesky too. At least here it makes sense - I get replies. Over there is a lot less fun because it’s so hard to get replies. I think people actually check who you are and if you’re just a rando with hardly any followers - they don’t bother.

          Ninja edit. It’s probably a waste of time but maybe to get more feedback - I could make a novelty account where I— Never mind. Dumb idea. I’ll do anything to not not get off the net.
