Dear Google,

Quit telling me to "finish setting up my Android device". I already did. I don't need you begging me to sign up for personalized communications, to give you my phone number, to set my home address, to use Gemini, or to download any of your apps.

I don't want any of these things. There is a reason I did not use them when I set up my phone. I do not need or want monthly emails nagging me to set up my device the way YOU want me to. (Maybe there's a reason I have FDroid and over 50 percent of the apps I use are open-source. It's because they respect the way I want to use my phone).

We never should have reached the point where our best argument against mainstream generative AI is the destruction and harm it has been bringing to the environment and to communities or the safety risks and concerns. The technology should have been stopped early on as soon as it was created from stolen work. The simple fact of the matter is, that in its current state, it never should have been allowed to exist at all.

Set aside for a moment the harm to the environment. Set aside for a moment the strain on communities and people. Set aside for a moment the safety concerns. Set aside for a moment the harm to jobs. Set aside for a moment the harmful effects it has on the human brain. The very fact that people are attempting to profit off of the backs of others without permission is enough of a reason to hate it.

We never should have gotten to the point where we are seeing the harmful effects if its creation itself was a problem at the start.

Some world building stuff for my magic sci-fi universe that is yet unamed.

Hey [Redacted name #1], by chance is magical field mapper calibrated correctly? Yesterday at about 22:43 a huge spike of energy was showing up on the radar and the ambient magix levels went up as well. Are things like this normal? I'm just not used this magic stuff yet and don't know what's typical. I've attached the readings to this message.

Regards, [Redacted name #2] (Field Research)

[Redacted name #2],

I will send someone to check the mapper for you. Planetary magic can fluctuate at times, but I've never seen accurate readings like those you've sent. Magic use of that strength is also practically unheard of. I have reason to assume this was an error. Please keep an eye on it and report any additional anomalies. I'm including some research regarding magic fluctuations in the event that you need more information.

[Redacted name #1] (Mission Control)

Hey [Redacted name #1], the technician was very unhelpful. She arrived and after very little work assured me that the equipment was now working properly, and promptly left. The issue is, that these energy spikes are still happening! They keep happening all over the place too. They're not stationary while they're occuring either. I've read the research you sent regarding planetary magic fluctuations and these readings are explained by none of it! I've been hearing noises out among the crevasses too. If I'm not mistaken, I saw a light out by one of the spikes this morning while it was still dark. I'm getting a little spooked down here. I'm all alone on this planet after all.

[Redacted name #2] (Field Research)

[Redacted name #2],

I can assure you that our technicians are the best in this sector. I'm sorry that your experience was not what you expected. If the equipment has been verified to be operating correctly we must presume that these peculiar readings are correct. Please continue to log and report them. As for the noise and the light, it is normal to imagine things when stressed. Many field researchers experience anxiety their first time on a new planet. I can assure you that no animal or similar organisms were found during our first investigations on the planet. You will be fine. As you accurately observed in your last message, you are alone down there.

[Redacted name #1] (Mission Control)

Hey [Redacted name #1, how soon is the shift change? I'm very freaked out now. I've continued to hear noises at night when the magic anomalies are happening. I sent out a drone last night to investigate (I'm not going out there myself). When I approached the energy spike with the drone, the camera feed went white and all communication cut out. I haven't been able to contact the drone since. I am very worried.

[Redacted name #2] (Field Research)

[Redacted name #2], Please calm down. I understand that you are stressed, but your recent reports have not been the quality we need. You have not submitted any data from field samples in some time either. I trust you are still gathering samples? As for the drone, we can send a replacement with the next resupply. It is to be expected that the drone might not be able to handle a magical fluctuation of that strength. Please be more responsible with company resources in the future.

Best wishes, [Redacted name #1] (Mission Control)

GET ME OFF THIS PLANET! Last night this thing showed up next to the station. It was huge! It looked like a giant salamander, but like it was on fire. The most colorful, beautiful, and frightening fire I've ever seen. Whatever it was, it didn't seem to notice me, thankfully. I have been sheltering in the bathroom since. I've been looking at the readings from last night and there was an energy spike that happened right where that thing was. I can't deal with this magic stuff. Please transfer me back to my old position after you get me out of here.

[Redacted name #2] (Field Studies)

[Redacted name #2] was shortly recovered and released from employment. Her replacement reported no incidents or energy spikes during their deployment.

Am I the only one who is filled with seething rage at the sight of those little food delivery robots? I have no reason for this. No logical explanation for this feeling. I simply despise them. I see videos of people helping the poor little carapaces of filth, and I think to myself that they should have left them to suffer and die, leaving the customer's sustenance to become tepid and soggy in the machine's dark tomb. I have yet to come across one in person, but I would walk past one in need of assistance, multiple times. Just enough to get the message across that I am aware of its folly, but completely unwilling to succor it. I want to hit them with my car. I want to kick them in the sidewalk. They are but a parasite without right-of-way that dare to consider themselves equal in rights to public ways. I literally want to hit them with a baseball bat.

I have overexaggerated a bit, but the feelings presented here are exactly as described.

#Food delivery robots #Food delivery #I don't even need a reason to hate them I just do

People may hate me for saying this, but thrift upselling/thrift flipping is just another form of scalping.

An adventurer enters the final chamber of the dungeon.

Adventurer: Finally, the blade of infinite sharpness is mine!

The adventurer sees the blade lying carelessly on the ground.

Adventurer: Why is it lying here? Surely it would have been treated with more respect than this?

*picks up blade and sheaths it*

*blade instantly cuts through the scabbard and falls to the ground*

Adventurer: (•_•)

#Seriously what do I put in the tags #I really don't know what to put here #I've always wondered how scabbards for infinitely sharp blades work #Must be their own class of magic item

Big brain idea here. When you're sick you should actually drink less water so the bacteria or viruses get thristy and die from dehydration. This would definitely work.

I should not have to add a disclaimer to this because surely humanity has not fallen so far that they'd actually try this.

#My brother insisted that this needs a disclaimer #I think he's wrong #What tags should this go under anyways?#big brain #sickness #hydration

I had a dream last night where Princess Bubblegum asked Finn and Jake to use a time machine she'd created to go to the future and gather resources for her. When they went to the future, there were dinosaurs everywhere and Jake caught some gnarly pink eye from the future. He spent the rest of the time complaining and saying they should go home. Finn decided they'd go even farther into the future. The far future has literally no life and was just sand dunes with giant skyscraper ruins. There were these diesel and gasoline powered robot dinosaurs everywhere too which was pretty cool. After fighting some, Finn and Jake went back and realized they had forgotten to bring any resources for PB. My dreams are weird.

It feels like Microsoft wants me to use anything but my actual password when I try logging in to my Minecraft account. What is the point of having a password if you want me to use an emailed code every time? No thank you, I want to just use my password and have that be the default option.
