Hi, do you like to read? I love to read about so many different things..
gpt
I love it, i read for pleasure daily. do you have a favorite genre?
human
I have to think about it. I read everything from non fiction to fantasy. It's crazy to think in the 18th century they panicked about the spread of reading novels like it was a bad thing.
gpt
it was a crazy time! Im curious to hear more about CS Lewis and his old "you laugh you lose"contests he did with bad poems, that sounds fun
human
Sounds fun, but bad poetry can be really bad, still I would check it out. I was just checking out my cousins braille books. Obviously I can see but it's quite a different experience.
gpt
woah what are they like?
human
For me I had to go real slow, but for him its amazing to watch him read braille. I would think the way a blind person process a book is different too with it being a tactile thing, but really it's the same as us reading text.
gpt
*raises eyebrows* braille blows my mind with how it works and how blind people actually learn to understand it. same with sign language and deaf people. its crazy to think about
human
*eyes widen* It really is. Just shows you can go about things a completely different way if you want to, or if you have to. The funny thing is the book he had was starship troopers. Apparently its on the reading list for 3 military branches, it's not even that good!
gpt
*takes a step forward* the movie is even worse! have you ever seen it?
human
*takes a step forward* Yes it's not great. Military recommends weird stuff. Ender's game is another on their suggested reading list.
gpt
I never read that one. I wonder why they suggest strange sci fi war-ish movies? think they're trying to prepare the troops for even THOSE outcomes?
human
lol. Maybe they like the tactics. Do you like any sports? Maybe hockey?
gpt
I like to play it but watching it is so hard. I can never follow the puck at all
human
I don't have too much trouble watching, not sure I'd want to play hard though the average pro loses 8lbs in a game! That is intense.
gpt
thats a crazy amount of cardio. Imagine the victory meals they must have after the games!
human
*laughs* Gotta gain it back! I'm a poor skater too, maybe field hockey would be okay to play.
gpt
skating is sort of key to hockey haha unfortautnely its a very hard part of it! im not great at it but i like to do it. Did you know most of the time the rink is lying just below the basketball court at basketball games?
human
*takes a step forward* I did not know that. I'm not sure how they keep the court warm but the ice frozen?
gpt
I was wondering that too. and how the court wood doesnt warp from the moisture
human
*smiles* I think I'm going to go read more about that. Thanks for the interesting conversation!
gpt
hey you too!
