Clear your mind. Simply “be” the screws. Do not aim for completion, for one is never complete. Also, it’s upside-down.

In before “In a cave! With a box of scraps!”

I think for the sake of mixed company and delicate sensibilities we should refer to this as a “BM” rather than a “bullshit machine”. Therefore it could be a LLM BM, or simply a BM.

Separate tickets, dudes.

Damn, I am stealing this. Too many good uses:

“She lives in a hopium den”

“Hopium addict”

“Hopium of the masses”
