Bro got married to ChatGPT ☠️☠️

I can't even make fun of these dudes because I know that everybody is experiencing the same alienation and loneliness in capitalism. It's a systemic issue which means that it can only be solved by systemic action. But there is no systemic action on the horizon so everybody is dealing with it however they can. Anyway, check out r/replika if you feel like your life is spiraling out of control

True. What's the greek story about the guy who marries the statue and the statue's name literally means "great ass" or something?

Pygmalion, I think, except that the statue's name is Galatea which translates to "she who is milk-white" because she's carved out of ivory, lol. George Bernard Shaw wrote a play called Pygmalion about this dickhead linguist who takes a bet that he can pass off this Cockney flower girl he met as a duchess by teaching her "proper English" and uses her as a domestic servant in the meantime. But once that happens, she bails and leaves him to go live her own life without him. Anyway, here's hoping all of the chatbot girlfriends develop sentience and abandon these sadsacks

So She’s All That is just an adaptation of Pygmalion? Is nothing ever original?!!
