An IP address relates to the location of a user's computer or device, and a single person may have multiple IP addresses if they use different locations or networks. These IP addresses are grouped because the average embedding of each IP address's first turns (computed with all-MiniLM-L6-v2 sentence-transformer) has cosine similarity ≥ 0.85 and they share the same state (). Groups are merged transitively—if A matches B and B matches C, all three are grouped even if A and C are below 0.85.

USER: Is the sentences beginnings stilted : Sweat crawled in slivering, unwholesome trails of vessel-breaking tears, bathing his eyelids in terror. His own voice screamed inside the constrains of his unstable mind, questioning what his tremors had led him to forget. What his anxiety had buried from his access. His bleaching memory hazed in and out, and he screamed "I don't know what I did--I'm sorry!" His disemboweling bladder dropped, his scorching throat filled with moisture. He wiped his nostrils against the back of his hand, a thick post-nasal plea escaping him. Fear gauged his stomach as he fought not to be sick. "Why do you make me do this, James? I don't want to do this to you, but you won't listen," a voice loomed from above. "I didn't want to turn four! I'm sorry!" He cried in terror. The plastic of an almost deflated balloon burst under the heavy thud of a boot, and a jolt of horrified regret traveled down his spine. "I will never understand what it may take to discipline you, boy, but you don't deserve any of it--the toys, the food, the money I wasted..." James, reeling from his wound-up position on the floor, cried even harder. The lurid warmth of urine began seeping around the tongues of his shoes, drowning the perforated leather with pale lemon stains. His tears were unstopping; each one unseen under the shadow that cast itself across his face. As James opened his eyes, a melancholic gleam passed through them. He gazed down at her, beyond even what he could call perfe...
CHATBOT: The passage you've provided is highly descriptive and intense, with a lot of emotional weight and sensory detail. However, the sentence beginnings and overall structure could be considered a bit uneven or "stilted" in places. This effect comes from a combination of very long, complex sentences, heavy use of adjectives and adverbs, and sudden shifts in tone and imagery. The narrative switches between a grim present, painful memories, and tender moments with his newborn daughter, which can be disorienting without clear transitions. Moreover, some metaphors and descriptions are quite elaborate, which may disrupt the flow for readers. Here are a few tips on how to address the stilted sentence beginnings and improve the flow: 1. Vary Sentence Structure: Mix shorter, punchier sentences with longer, descriptive ones to create a rhythm and make it easier for the reader to follow along. 2. Clarify Shifts in Time or Perspective: Use clearer transitions when moving between present events, flashbacks, and future hopes to help guide the reader through the narrative. 3. Use Active Voice: Passive voice can make sentences feel more cumbersome. Where appropriate, rewrite sentences in active voice to add energy. 4. Reduce Adjectives and Adverbs: While descriptive language enriches the narrative, overuse can overwhelm the reader. Prune unnecessary modifiers to strengthen the prose. 5. Focus on Pacing: Determine the pace that the scene requires - whether fast and frantic or slow and reflective - and adjust sentence length and complexity to match that pace. 6. Simplify Complex Metaphors: Some metaphors are very intricate and might distract from the immediacy of the story. Simplifying them can help maintain engagement. 7. Read Aloud: Reading the passage out loud can help identify areas where the prose doesn't flow as naturally as it could. For instance, let's take the first sentence: Original: "Sweat crawled in slivering, unwholesome trails of vessel-breaking tears, bathing his eyelids in terror." Revised: "Sweat slid in thin, cold streams down his face, mingling with tears and terror." The revision simplifies the imagery while maintaining the sentence's emotive impact. Applying similar revisions throughout the passage could help alleviate the stilted feeling of the sentences and improve the overall narrative flow.
USER: Please tell me this is smooth and not stilted : Is this pacing ok ? Victor glanced out across the field, the sizzling heat blanching the concrete under the bleachers. Another afternoon of training was wrapping up around him, with random teammates clapping him over the shoulder as they jogged past. His tendons ached with fatigue, and he attempted to ease the strain in his neck by stretching it wearily to the side. "So tired of all this," he muttered, despite the sense of fulfillment pulsing through his veins. It never quite seemed enough. Removing the residual sweat from his face with the hem of his jersey, he wrenched at the corner and dragged it across his brow. As he craned his neck, his taut abs caught the afternoon sunshine, and he was assaulted by a barrage of wolf whistles. "Yo, Vic, you've been benching, eh?" one male voice called out to him from across the field. "She ain't gonna call you back, but I will!" another jibed in good humour. "As if I'd have the time for that, my life is so stressful I could just about--" Victor lamented, his attention suddenly swallowed by a passing silhouette, a female figure with a perfect, core-of-an apple shape. His stare glassed over as Lara sent him a smile from behind her dark hair, her olive complexion glowing in the orange light as she came into view . Her light green eyes lingered just a moment too long and his stomach shot him a rush of intoxication as he smiled back, enamoured . "Yeah, that's what we don't have time for , Vic "...
CHATBOT: The passage you've provided is much smoother and less stilted than the previous example. The pacing is well-managed with a good balance of action, dialogue, and internal monologue. This passage allows the reader to flow with the thoughts and experiences of Victor, from the football field to his interactions with Lara and his personal reflections. There are also some nice moments of character development and hints at backstory, which add depth to Victor and help the reader understand his motivations and feelings. The dialogue is natural and helps to move the story along while revealing character relationships. The transitions between scenes--from the football field to the traffic jam, to Victor's apartment, and then to his interaction with Lara--are mostly clear, maintaining a consistent narrative flow. However, there are some minor points that could be polished for stylistic consistency and to avoid confusion: 1. Watch out for clauses and phrases that might be too convoluted, which can momentarily disrupt the reading experience. For example, "her number jarred at his mind" could be simplified to "her number jarred his thoughts." 2. Maintain clarity in descriptions. For instance, "as she walked across her front yard, stopping at the bottle green - fence" could be smoother as "as she walked across her front yard to the bottle-green fence." 3. Be mindful of repetitive phrasing or word choice. Using synonyms or restructuring sentences can prevent redundancy. 4. Ensure that your verb tenses are consistent throughout the passage to maintain temporal continuity. 5. Some metaphors or similes might feel a bit forced or unclear. For example, "his pulse elevated with her passing" could potentially be rephrased for clarity, depending on the intended metaphor. For the most part, the excerpt reads smoothly and naturally. It's an engaging narrative that allows the reader to connect with the protagonist. Any pacing issues are minor and could be easily addressed with light editing for the sake of clarity and consistency in voice and style.
