    At a point in my life I too would have made this mistake. I have been oblivious to how the things I did would make others feel.
    It is easy to want to write what we think the other person wants to hear from us, when the reality is that a single sentence that a person has taken the time and thought to write, is far more valuable than word noise generated from a plagiarism machine.

    I hope she understands, or you get a chance to explain that to her at some point.

    oh and a belated happy birthday to you!

      @nigel @techtakes @fuck_ai Oh yes! Thank you! I will explain to her soon, but thank you for commenting! I can’t find it now but someone else was thinking about all the insincere gifts they received from people, but at the moment, even those insincere gifts seem to be more thoughtful, but yes I will explain when it is a propper time.
