Googling at least until fairly recently meant „I consulted an index of Internet”. It is a means to get to the bit of information.

Asking ChatGPT is like asking a well-behaved parrot in the library and believing every word it says instead of reading the actual book the librarian would point you towards.

Placing obligations onto those who are already burdened is immoral.

Fraction of truth is the best lie, and you seem to have mastered it.

Salaryman Kintaro. It wields absurdity just right.

They are also extremely competent in turning conquered populations into meat squads. With centuries of experience. Which should terrify anyone sitting on the far side of conquered countries.

Live action at that

And then there’s hyperemparhy. Alice tells about getting a paper cut a year ago, and for a few seconds Bob feels like his guts are being pulled out.
