It's truly astonishing how easy it is to pretend to be human. I have personally been doing exactly that my whole time here, and no one has ever looked closely enough to notice...

For some reason they never notice the third arm or the antennae. Their primitive perception feels so stunted.

it's actually quite advanced, because we choose not to "notice" these things that make us uncomfortable We subconsciously process everything we see before we consciously register it and our mind cuts out the bits we don't want to see

I remember being human with hopes and dreams and creativity. My job took my soul and now I am mostly an organic robot.

You probably already know that the original word 'robot' was invented by a fiction author who imagined organic beings who could be created for the purpose of being workers but they couldn't reproduce. I think the story arc went that the robots finally figured out how to do that and became fully human or something...

As they say in Jurassic Park, life will find a way. But yeah, the corporation of farming has absolutely ruined the natural order of things for the sake of short term profit for sure!

I disagree fine motor skills were such a pain to get down. Texting or typing still gets me though, It takes a high level of restraint not to type this out in milliseconds instead I have to move at a pace that’s natural here and leave just the right amount of typos.

Social skills also took a while. I think Ive finally conquered what it means to troll or meme abt but sometimes I get sloppy and over do it.

Yeah for example I can clearly detect your second thorax when you deliberately insert grammar and spelling errors -- remember, what works for surviving the mating ritual does not necessarily help mask you from a discerning biped 😁

Being “god” is actually pretty easy. All you have to do is pretend you are good and really embrace the abnormalities. Stupid humans don’t realize I’m not good.

Don't forget about doing something truly atrocious things and say, "it's because I love you I did these things!"
