That's why I am on the internet. All the cool people are here, and not, like... Outside.
Only one problem: I'm here too.
Greetings fellow chair-desk-person. Or perhaps lap-bed-pillow-person. Or even lap-floor-person
Desk-floor person, checking in!
How could you forget us toilet-persons?
Being a toilet-person is inherently transient (hopefully). I myself am a toilet-person right now; however, I will regain my true form as a chair-desk-person momentarily.
*Actually now I am a pillow-person.
It's been cool to learn that there are so many people with my exact mindset ...and closest one is 2000 kilometers away.
Not true, I'm in your walls.
We've been interacting with bots anyways since we were young and taking them apart.
