    DeepSeek Prover V2: 3-Minute Stand-Up Comedy Routine Opening: Hey everyone! How's it going? You know, I've been thinking a lot about relationships lately. Not because I'm in one, but because I'm not. And that's the problem. I'm single, and I'm starting to think that my dating profile is the reason why.

It buzzes every hour like, “Time to stand!” I’m like, “I’m on a bus.” It’s like, “Stand emotionally.” It tracks everything. Sleep, stress, calories, my self-esteem.
