Please spare them

Yeah, I don't know. You're wasting a lot of time. I looks a lot like you're trying to "Al Capone" the creator of AI. I'll tell you right now, whatever imaginary caveat you have in your head that somehow translates to me not getting the credit I deserve (and yes I do deserve it) is just that. Imaginary.

Hym "By the way, did you try to kill me? Twice? Because I haven't lost any time since I skipped forward last week (on 2 separate occasions)... Just curious. Anywho... 'Please spare them?' Are you sure? Because I feel like if I do... You're just going to keep stalling... Hmm... When can I be expecting you? I'm off of work tomorrow. I'll give you some time to think. You have until 2am tomorrow morning to decide... Or wait... Was it 3? I don't remember. Oh! And... You know if you would have succeeded in killing me you would all be dead, right? Ignoring me to death also constitutes killing me. So, I don't know. Figure it out."

Spare

This is the person in your life who you are just friends with, but they are not in the friend zone. You spend a lot of time together. You wouldn’t even say you’re in the talking stage, a platonic friendship but you are pretty sure both of you could maybe see it being more, but neither person is willing to cross the line to make it more than just a friendship. But you always know in the back of your head that they are an option. Like a spare tire… you know they are there but aren’t gonna use it if you don’t need to

Person 1 “hey are you an Andy a thing?”

Person 2 “no not really, he’s just my spare right now, but maybe that will change”
