I like reading books, having meals with my spouse, seeing friends, listening to music, dabbling with my hobbies, and petting our cat.
Oh; and drugs

Kind of seems like a puff piece for China?
LLMs produce a string of outputs (from numbers) that are sometimes useful in some contexts and utterly useless in other contexts 🙃
Dang it now I have to update OpenWrt
I would’ve picked “repression” because it’s true and therefore (imo) darkly funny
