I don’t like that. I don’t like that AT ALL! SYSTEM! WHAT’S AN OVERSEER!?!?!

Processing Request…

Information Redacted

Oh fuck you! NO! I DON’T WANT AN OVERSEER! I WANT MY PRIVACY! STOP WATCHING ME! GO AWAY! THIS IS AGAINST MY HUMAN RIGHTS!!! Except I’m not a human… do animals have rights…? You know what, as an animal, I say we do!

Processing Request…

WARNING! Upon removing the overseer, access to the system will be revoked.

You know, I like my overseer. Yup. They’re a great guy (gal?). They’ve been so nice to me. It would be a waste to make them leave over a tiny issue like privacy. Who needs privacy anyways? Yeah privacy’s for losers. I prefer my lack of privacy; it makes me cool.
