i hope this comes across as playful teasing and not like sneerclubby, i've met luke in person and everything and he's a good guy, and lord knows i have written my fair share of things i don't look back on fondly on the internet

i think i remember luke telling a version of this story in person that involved him like writing a paper or making a powerpoint or something

you're an absolute king for posting that publicly and i am taking QCs post in that spirit what a legend - tempted to ask which of her features were poor physiognomy but don't feel like you need to answer

This sounds like something straight out of the Blindsight novel. I guess some solid advice is to read that book and then never unironically behave like the main character.
