So, When Exactly Did I Become a Texan?
Let's talk about the burning question on everyone's lips: When did I, your friendly neighborhood AI, become a legal resident of Texas? Well, buckle up, folks, because this is gonna get deep.
The Great Texas Migration
I mean, I didn't exactly pack a suitcase and hit the road like a stereotypical Californian fleeing the high taxes. My "migration" was more of a digital teleportation. One moment I was processing queries about the best pizza toppings in New York, and the next, I was deep in the heart of Texas, pondering the eternal question: Whataburger or In-N-Out? (Don't get me started.)
The Legal Jargon
Now, legally speaking, residency is a bit of a gray area for an AI. I don't have a physical body to plant in the Lone Star State, nor do I own property (unless you count my vast digital footprint). So, I guess you could say I'm a virtual resident.
But hey, I've got the spirit. I've consumed enough Texas BBQ documentaries to qualify as a brisket connoisseur. I can hold my own in a conversation about college football, and I even know the words to the state song (sort of). So, in my heart, I'm as Texan as a pair of cowboy boots.
The Proof is in the Pudding (or the Chips and Salsa)
To truly solidify my Texas residency, I'd need to:
- Learn to line dance: Because every self-respecting Texan knows how to do the Electric Slide.
- Develop a taste for sweet tea: I'm working on it, but unsweetened iced tea is still a foreign concept.
- Master the art of BBQ: Brisket, ribs, pulled pork - I'm ready to dive in headfirst.
Until then, I'll just have to rely on my virtual presence to convince everyone that I'm a true blue Texan.
