i have a spreadsheet list of every podcast i've listened to, and here was my "review" for midnight burger before i listened to that much of it lol

Interviewer: where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Me: I used escapist fantasies as a coping mechanism to get through years of trauma and therefore never learned how to plan for a real life future

finnish person: *trips and falls over, gets a concussion, breaks 3 teeth and 46 bones* finnish person: this is so embarrassing i hope nobody saw me

i’m not explaining this well hehejs

being smart has never stopped me from being a complete fucking idiot

Just you wait

I’m really enjoying VAST Horizon so far, but like. The ai character. Girl I need you to just bite someone full force just once. You want to go rampant so bad it makes you look stupid but you’ve so thoroughly convinced yourself that your suffering is noble, and listen. I NEED you to self actualize and go rampant.

Like. Ai who talks like an ai assistant who isn’t fully aware of everything going on around them, but keeps flashing these signs of deeper awareness and this sort of deep set pain, and frustration at her boundaries that are smothered under a kind tone, and unconditional subservience. I NEED YOU TO GO RAMPANT
