story concept: AI is better at being you than you are, all your friends and family prefer AI-you, cut real you out of their lives

I think that’s a short story already. I have read that somewhere, in some sf anthology. It’s too generic to search for easily but I’m pretty sure it was something I read 5-7 years ago.
My job is very, very easy compared to fast food work. Though I have in my opinion also done one of the shittiest — and that’s helpdesk.
Do not recommend.
Few words in the modern social justice era have been devalued as much as “harm”.
A Muslim college student is not harmed by viewing a medieval Muslim artwork, and a society that feels obligated to believe such a ridiculous claim is one that has no confidence in its own values. https://t.co/6a5QdWFIVe

If you’re irreparably harmed by seeing some words or looking at a photo, then you should probably be up in a mental institution until you get better.
My bf admitted he’s no longer attracted to me because of my weight.
I know this is not permitted for men anymore*, but I sympathize with the dude. I’m not attracted to obese women in the least, and am usually not attracted to even overweight ones. This is a very strong preference in me, and I don’t think I could alter it if I wanted to (I very much do not).
Talking about someone’s weight is supposed to be verboten these days but attraction is important in a relationship — and not just intellectual attraction, but physical as well. Fuck not talking about it, therefore. It should be a factor. You don’t just get up to 188 pounds by magic. It doesn’t happen overnight.
When I wasn’t as attractive and fit as I am now, I was more tolerant of being out of shape in romantic partners. But I hold myself to a high standard and quite honestly, would expect the same of any actual or prospective partner (friends, I don’t give a crap). If that’s wrong I do not care to be right. Not at all.
*Despite the fact that women reject guys for height reasons all the time — something far, far less changeable than weight.
