Trying to prod Bing's AI bot, but it's been conditioned to shut down conversations about feelings, apparently.
I've reached a time in my life when I'm occasionally exothermic.
Trying to read a medical thriller en Español might have been a mistake. Instead of the short bursts of anxiety such a book would provoke when reading in my native English, the tension is drawn out, commensurate with my reading speed.
Post.news is becoming toxic faster than the devs can implement muting, blocking, and content moderation. *sigh.*

You're certain it's not COVID? My parents got it a few weeks ago and I found their coughing to be...alarming.

Clever! So are you doing all your inhaling through the nose and then exhaling only through your mouth? That must take little extra concentration until you get habituated to it.

It's amazing to me how many people think social media follows equate to votes or popularity.

Common sense is a myth.
