      My huge ADHD sentences love the dash action, but with AI using it now people think I use it to write.

        I see the point being made; however, how the fuck else might I jam several clauses into one compound megasentence - overwrought and peppered with purple prose - if not with multiple types of punctuation? Should I summarize, streamline? Clearly not: all thoughts should be expressed in full, replete with all irrelevant details. Perhaps remove unneeded, intra-sentence explanations and asides (like this one, which I’m quite fond of) of details obvious to the reader?! Never!

        No AI could write with matching convolution — especially when, unlike me, it cannot do so on the toilet.

          Your eloquence strikes me as unnecessary but beautiful - truly, it is in human nature to overcomplicate, but in such a special way that makes it unique and almost spiritual instead of verbose and obtuse. I compliment your decisiveness and ability - a distinctively human ability - to see through this thin line and turn your toilet habit into something so profound. Yet, I cannot help but note that taking out the phone while unloading your bowel - or bladder, for that matter - is yet another symptom - a very alarming symptom - of the modern age interfering with our ability to distance ourselves from a neverending steam of distractions, one that comes hand in hand with modern AI-powered enshittification. So, if you’d like to truly reconnect with your roots, to find human in yourself - perhaps it might be bright to create an intimate space where the only connection you experience is a connection with yourself.

          Perhaps, I couldn’t express myself as vividly as you do; for that I apologize; yet, I’m not even operating in the domain of my mother tongue, so I hope I can be forgiven. Besides, one other distinctively human thing is to try regadless.
