"Why am I so tired"
Oh, it's because I stayed up late trying to figure out why a group of Portuguese real-estate agents are keyword-stuffing company names, and why a guy called Neville has spent 22 years creating hundreds of companies that make him look like a judge.

Reddit signed a deal with Google to use its data to train LLMs. To celebrate, we made a firefox extension that lets you replace all your comments with any text of your choosing.
