world is static

Love it for the people who love it, of course, I’m just not one of those people at all.

Makes perfect sense to me. I hated my sexuality for a huge and formative chunk of my life. Half the point of fantasies for me, even the most transgressive ones, is to imagine a world where that sort of feeling doesn’t exist.

every once in a while, mine gets into a weird aggressive mood. idk what triggers it, but it reads as some sort of dominance thing.

it took me an embarrassingly long time to remember that I'm bigger than him, so when he does that, I can just pick him up like a baby and he can't stop me.

(if he Gets my hand during the freakout, it's decidedly less gentle)

once his initial freakout is over, I let him bite me just a little bit to get it out of his system. he's very gentle about it.

me: you know, if you're tired of getting your face rubbed, you could just stop shoving your face into my hand

cat: I have a different idea

me: is it-

cat: it's Biting You

maybe I could fix her though

This is remarkably similar to how I've taught myself to process intrusive thoughts (allow the thought to pass through me and out of me without making contact, rather than screaming at it to shut up).

common automotive experience tbh

On the one hand, he'll say whatever he thinks will make people like him.

On the other hand, it's significant that he thinks *this* is something that will make people like him.

oh no it’s a girl with exactly one (1) facial expression

I think I may have already imprinted on her

Thank you again! This was a much better use of my Sunday evening than what I probably would have been doing otherwise.

Scratch that. Apparently this was all Chrome's fault and Edge (somehow) offers a much smoother experience. Finishing after all.

Fuck it, I've run out of patience with my computer. I quit midway through the footnotes on the third-to-last page; please assume I would have continued in the same vein for the last three pages of the document. Sending momentarily.

You are, of course, welcome to post my highlighted document here once you've received it.

Finally, independent of any comments you give, I've already learned quite a bit from this experience. Thank you for humoring me.

I was a bit inconsistent in how I handled the portion of citations specifying which different citation they were quoting. I'm sure one of my approaches was right and the other was wrong, but I'm not sure which is which.

I omitted the Table of Authorities in its entirety. It's possible I should have instead included it in its entirety. I interpreted it as a reference tool rather than as a citation in and of itself.

If I had not done that, I would have ended up with a grossly incorrect product.

As it is, there's a decent chance I skipped over something I should have highlighted before the Introduction, but I'm running out of patience with my computer's lagginess so I'm not going to be revisiting it.

I was initially confused because I misread the quotation mark here as "...Pooh (reference)'..." instead of "...Pooh' (reference)...". Not sure why or how that happened, but I had to re-read the instructions and sample page about half a dozen times to get an interpretation matching the template.

A couple notes on my reasoning while I wait for my computer to cooperate again.

Email sounds good. Thank you!

Alright, I'm about 10 pages from the end. While I wait for my computer to quit pitching a fit over (I assume) the number of highlights I've made, can you recommend a way for me to share the completed PDF?

(Also, re: background knowledge, I've spent a lot of time around federal regulatory language and some time around contract language, but I have no formal legal training and I don't think I've encountered this specific topic in a legal context before.)

(Not trying to be difficult or prove a point re: LLMs, btw! I'm just bored and curious and figure I could learn something here.)

Perfect, that should work for me. Typing would have been the tedious part. I'll take a stab at it and let you know when I'm done. I'm assuming, for the sake of the exercise, that if in doubt, I should rely on my own reasoning.

I'll leave that up to your judgment; tell me whatever you think is fairest to use as comparison (anywhere from all three to nothing at all).

About how much time would you expect this to take me?

That's probably true. I haven't read beyond this point, if that makes a difference, except scanning to see whether a conclusion had been reached (I don't think it has?).

Ok, I've been curious about this for the last couple days and it's going to keep nagging at me if I don't ask. I have as many years of life experience as three 12-year-olds. Do you believe that I would accomplish this task with zero errors? I'm bored enough that I'd be willing to give it a shot.

How would you say this is compatible with "redemption"?
