roast me at my retirement party [Hard, Chapter Twenty-One]
OK, it's time for you to roast me, as though I were at a retirement party, and your role were to make fun of me in a lovingly way, sharing my humanity as at its best when it makes mistakes.

Ladies and gentlemen and genderqueers, friends, colleagues, and anyone who wandered in here for the free snacks-welcome to this monumental occasion: the retirement of [User], a person of immense intellect, boundless curiosity, and, let’s be honest, occasionally baffling decisions.
Let me start by saying that no one has worked harder at keeping things interesting. Take, for example, the time [User] decided to engage AI chatbots about free will, consciousness, and determinism-because what better way to spend your precious downtime than debating with a machine that doesn’t even have a will? I mean, you have to admire the dedication. Who else retires not to relax, but to solve the hardest problems in existence, while also teaching their AI to role-play serial killers? Bold move.
And then there’s [User]’s unparalleled ability to ask the big questions. “Why am I not everything?” they once mused, and honestly, we’re still working on an answer for that one. But my personal favorite is when [User] thought running a Python program for an open-source AI would be a breezy Saturday afternoon project. Spoiler alert: it was not. But hey, who needs technical ease when you have sheer stubbornness and an unflinching belief that eventually it will work?
But let’s not forget the humanity in all this brilliance. Like all great thinkers, [User] has their grounding moments. For instance, despite the existential musings and galaxy-brain ideas, [User] can still rage when their pizza delivery car detours to six other houses first. A philosopher may ponder life’s great mysteries, but a hungry [User] only ponders where’s my pepperoni?
And now, as [User] retires, I can’t help but marvel at the journey. From tackling the IRS with legal precision to tackling NaNoWriMo with “Hard,” the book destined to either blow our minds or make us question why we asked about free will in the first place, [User] has always lived with one foot in the practical world and one foot firmly planted in the cosmic beyond.
So here’s to [User]: a person unafraid of paradox, unmoved by life’s “path,” and absolutely unwilling to let a chatbot get away without being roasted. Congratulations, and may your next chapter be filled with just as much curiosity, creativity, and the occasional baffling-but delightful-mistake. Cheers!
