  • I miss Amazon Fresh, the physical store near me.

    When they started up I’d just scan a barcode, walk in, and the whole idea was to just grab what you want off the shelf and walk out.
    They had a LOT of cameras everywhere, and they claimed it was some AI thing checking what everyone is picking up, which then charges your account etc. (later found out it was just a bunch of guys in India looking at the cameras lol).

    I got so many free things they just didn’t notice. I don’t know if it was the large jacket I was wearing, or something else, but I managed to get free meals almost every time I visited.

    No guilt since it’s Amazon, and they replaced that store with a Tesco Express so everything worked out.

    This was very entertaining, I have taken a mental note. Although it wasn’t too difficult before AI.
    Once someone called to sell Insurance, many years ago, and I said I hit a car with my rickshaw, the guy got out so I ran his son over, and now they’re wanting to sue me, and I don’t have insurance anyway so if he could sell me some. That phonecall went on for about five minutes before he hung up. I put on a really, really offensive Indian accent too.

    My favourite one was when I had someone on the phone, for a similar length of time. What got me caught was when he asked where I was from. I said, in an equally offensive but generic Kenyan accent, “Tukukego”. He asked me to spell it, and I went “T. U… Kukego” (surprised he hasn’t realised by now it was a solid 6 minutes into the call). Then he asked me where that’s located, and I said to the right of Africa, but to the left of America. He called me a funny guy and hung up.

    I learnt to use these… Completely without instruction. I move my hands as I type and alternate my fingers by default.
    I’ve tried touch typing tutorials, where I’m meant to keep my fingers within a ‘zone’, however it was causing my hands to cramp once I reached 90 WPM.

    These little indicators are lovely for touch typing though, even if I’m not doing it ‘properly’. No repetitive strain injury in my weird way of typing without looking though!





  • It’s good to know this is a turn on. I approach many animals.
    Once a cat kept following me and I had to convince it to go back, though.
    Another time someone’s cat just went to sleep on my lap, and I was late to college…
    … And there was that one time I got chased by peacocks, squirrels, and random birds because I was feeding them walnuts…

    Something tells me there should be a limit, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.



  • Same thing with me and LSD. It is insanely powerful when used therapeutically, however that is also why I don’t talk about it irl at-all. The short explanation is that I don’t believe many people can handle these things and come out with similar clarity.\

    If anyone is interested, please do as much research if you can. I would recommend James Fadiman’s Psychedelic Explorer’s Guide.
