    I am my brain and my brain is me. I talk to myself internally frequently, but I’m under no illusion that is anything but me.

    I see my brain as a computer system in need of software optimisation, but I myself am a newbie at optimisation, so I find good ways to fix my issues at a snails pace, although that said it’s probably a little faster than the standard NT.

    The human body is a collection of systems, which are each themselves a collection of cells/organisms that somehow manage to operate in relative cohesion with a bit of electricity and some nutrients.

    So, it all kind of is separate entities, in a way. My electricity can get vaguely annoyed with my hardware ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    I have been told multiple times that my brain is part of my body. I understand it is correct. I don’t believe it and it doesn’t match my experience

    Yes. I’m not my brain. That’s pretty obvious I think.

    Considering it feels like I’m trapped inside this decaying meat husk while it fucks up yes I think of it as the asshole with executive dysfunction that refuses to be helpful.

    I not only talk about my brain as if it isn’t part of me, I talk to it as if it isn’t part of me.

    Like I reprimand it and tell it what it should do. Not that it ever listens…

      Mine is more of an abusive relationship. More of a why would you do this, or why do you hate me, type situation.

    An overpowered machine unfit for mass production

    I can build the api backbone for your business in just a few hours on a good day.

    I can’t do more than one load of laundry at a time because the clothes in the washer will stay there until they develop a smell if the dryer has anything in it
