"ChatGpt is really good if you use it properly"
Gets torrents of down votes every time. But I literally use it a lot at work and it's brilliant.

Digital piracy not being an immoral crime (or crime at all) and not making one a horrible person.

As a lesbian trans person I like the words dyke and tranny, but only use it for myself. They're funny and cute. I was honestly surprised to learn that people are so deeply against the words.
