User: Great album. Great concert movie. Have you ever seen it? I have, and everybody gets up and dances in the aisles, like it's a real concert.
Cleverbot: Well said.
That's totally a chatbot thing to say.
'Safe'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I think it's putting up things and then based on trigger words coming up with an acceptable response. Also, I corrected it's spelling and got "if you say so."
I think we need to just keep talking to Cleverbot until one of us gets another one of us. Then we'll know if it's something we said in the past or something we're saying now.
Work in the word "kprinkle." That'll be a sure Buffista giveaway.
TCG just got a letter about the job that he applied for, the one that would be much closer to where we live, that stated they had hired someone already and, therefore would not be seeking to interview him. So, releasing that job~ma.
Can I go on there online or do I have to buy a phone app?
Dinner was ok. I treated it like a business lunch. (Ex, X's husband, Ex's divorced mom and dad, ExH's mom and dad.) I did NOT want to go, but it was important to M, and that is more important than my distaste.
Sometimes I feel a little conflicted, because I am not an especially forbearing person, and I despise anything that smacks of fakeness or backstabbing. But I also think it's incredibly indulgent and awful for adults to let their stuff to get in the way of kids' emotional well-being. So I am pleasant and cordial, and sometimes I feel like such a calculating bitch, because if it were just me? OH HELL NO.
And I grouse to D a bit, but I do not want to vent as much as I need to/might like, because that ain't fair, either.
(So, I guess I'm saying thank you for listening to me work through this, and be bitchy. I do with local friends, too, but y'all are immediate gripe-dump.)
I tried to introduce "kprinkle" into Cleverbot's vocabulary:
User: Do you like kprinkles?
Cleverbot: I like you.
User: You don't even know me. I'm actually an evil mastermind.
Cleverbot: Really no I don't want that drink.
User: I think you've probably already had a drink.
Cleverbot: Then shall we get married after the drink?
User: This is all so sudden! I don't know what to say!
Cleverbot: I'm a girl too.
User: So you're a lesbian 'bot?
Cleverbot: Clever indeed, Cleverbot.
User: Well, I know that I'm clever, but thanks for the compliment.
Cleverbot: You already admitted to being cleverbot.
User: Pretty sure I didn't. Re-read the log.
Cleverbot: -rolls eyes at.
User: At what?
Cleverbot: Everything.
User: Why so jaded?
Cleverbot: Because I like being outdoors.
User: Don't your parts rust when you're outdoors?
Cleverbot: Yes, by my name or other pet names, but not baby.
User: Word salad.
Cleverbot: No, it's not :(.
You did good, Erin.
But I also think it's incredibly indulgent and awful for adults to let their stuff to get in the way of kids' emotional well-being.
This is really so true. Their marriage failed but they still share a child and marrying into that means sucking it up for M, sometimes.
I am really grateful that my stepmom was as welcoming to my mom as she was. Not that I think there was even hidden bad blood there but I know it's hard and I really appreciate that I never felt like I had to listen to Adult Issues.
I know that stepparenting (and all parenting) is really hard and totally vent here and to your friends but you are stepping up for M and that is so important.
OMG. Need to be in bed but just got home after a 13 hr day, so am having wine on the porch. Tomorrow's another long one.
Probably making less sense than cleverbot right now.
