This reads like a pretty good AI attempt at the first paragraph of a '70s-era Ballard short story.

Ballard
You talk about a writer whose work aged like wine, I mean people must have been mystified back then but he was legit like some kind of prophet.
Definitely.
Not only the obvious ones like Drowned World but also the depictions of dysfunctional human societies and behaviour. Spending your formative years in an internment camp in occupied Shanghai is going to give you some unique insights. It won’t be long before we’re barbecuing the neighour’s dog.
Dame Dana Rigg has passed away, you may remember her from GoT

Isn’t psychopathy in the DSM? This will be the go-to white collar crime defense for the 21st century.

Oh yeah, you can’t read The Intensive Care Unit and not get extremely depressed about the internet.
Lol at thinking white collar crime will persist much longer into the future.

I mean it was such an obviously stupid scam you have to wonder how anyone in sound mind would think it was going to work. 
???
the “I’m white and only black people commit crimes” defense
Interesting strategy
There’s a utility guy on the pole outside the building. My EE background leads me to believe this is a good sign.

Happy 49th anniversary to my parents (I bet I am a small percent that know the exact date when their parents were married) (but when you think about it, yeah…) (Mom decided to celebrate her anniversary yesterday)

People don’t know their parents’ anniversary?

I’m talking exact date and year
I mean I only know that because their 30th was 9/11/2011. Yeah they had a fancy dinner planned, that was mostly just silence.
Meh. I know if for my parents. I guess I have to think a little for the year.
If you mean because it’s 9/11 (it’s 9/10 where I am) I get you, but then my parents were married on 7/4, so that’s pretty easy too.
I’m much more likely to remember my parents divorce date than wedding anniversary.
on 9/11 one of my friends in high school who went to UPenn on a volleyball scholarship had an article about her on the front page of the sports section as “San Diego’s prep athlete of the week” and I’ve always felt bad that nobody read that story.
