BF: We should use AI for everything we don't want to do or that tech can do more efficiently than us. Which is why I want a Roomba. Because I don't want to be hoovering when I could be doing something better with my time.
Me: That is a fair point.
BF: Plus we can train the cat to have rides on the Roomba.
Me: That's the real reason you want one isn't it?
BF: ... Possibly.
I love this ridiculous nerd.
this is a universe where people have superpowers and there are talking trees but this person thinks having a smart teenage girl is unrealistic ok

“You will not always be the smartest person in the room, and you will not always be the strongest or the funniest or the most talented. But you can always be brave and you can always be kind, and these are the things you should be every minute of every day for the rest of your life. Because yes, those other things, they’re great things. But these things are better.”

One thing I love about Wicked is that Fiyero's very first song subtly suggests that there's much more to his supposed idiocy than meets the eye. He's singing about the virtues of ignoring school and being brainless, but he's using phrases like "life is fraught less," and "worry is rife," and even arguably "stop studying strife" and "woes are fleeting, blows are glancing," none of which are things you would expect to come out of an academically unintelligent person's mouth.
And more than that, his rhymes are quick, concise, and clever – he's good at wordplay. It's a musical, so obviously everyone's going to be rhyming all the time, but that doesn't mean certain characters can't have different levels of skills at it (consider Glinda's "populer... lar..."). For all Foyero hates school and wants to live the #airhead life, he can't completely hide his wit.
