AI Dungeon

I have to admit... I was thiiiiiissss close to trying the Premium version of that AI Dungeon thing, since I'd heard that the "Dragon" version of the engine was way better than the Griffin version. (And the Griffin version is, itself, orders of magnitude better/smarter than any other chat/story bot I've ever used in the past...)

...but then they did this (which also affects Premium subscribers, apparently, as otherwise that would have actually been a further incentive to subscribe to Premium, rather than leading to a "well, then what's the point of Premium now, other than access to Dragon" moment). Well, thanks for saving me some money, Latitude, I guess. *weary sigh* Look, I understand that they have to make some money on this thing, somehow, but "Facebook-izing" it is not the way to go.

I'll keep playing it until I start seeing that "energy bar" bullshit showing up (which it hasn't yet, for me), then I'll probably just stop altogether.

"In Case You Rely On Me To Tell You These Things"

"Biden wins."

Huh... weird. I just checked Google again like five minutes before this post showed up in my Feedly/email, and it still showed Biden 264, Trump 214, but now it shows Biden 284, Trump 214.

In any case... yeah, that's great and all. Glad Trump will be gone in two and a half months (and then, hopefully, immediately on his way to prison for the rest of his rotten life). My enthusiasm (what little there was to being with) is tempered by the fact that Bitch McConnell and Lindsey Cracker (and probably Thom Dumb) are still in the Senate, though. If the Senate remains (blood) red, that means Biden will actually accomplish basically nothing while in office as POTUS, because, as I've said many times before and will likely say many more times in the future, while Bitch McConnell is in charge of the Senate, they will continue to remain the party of "No."

But... yeah, I guess we can, at least, luxuriate in the fact that we will no longer have a blatant, brazen, obvious, abject, egregious, fucking stupid moron of a conman as the POTUS anymore. *shrug* Though, again, the fact that the race was as close as it was just shows that the United States of America still has a LONG way to go before it can prove to the rest of the world that it is no longer an abysmal clusterfuck of a country. I don't even know if the U.S. will ever be able to convincingly prove that, honestly.

(EDIT) Also, nothing is actually a done deal, for sure, until Trump's asinine lawsuits are ruled against/settled/thrown out/whatever, which is not a clear-cut thing that is sure to happen, given that Trump has spent the past four years stacking the courts in his favor. Also, nothing is for sure until the *groan* Electoral *ulp* College *threw-up-in-my-mouth-a-little-bit* votes in December. I mean, they'll probably just confirm Biden as POTUS, but I'm not going to rest fully easy feel even marginally better until Biden is actually sworn in on January 20, 2021. (/EDIT)
