I hate the injection of personality into technological instances or common hiccups in modern Internet culture. My heart monitor watch shows me a smiley face while booting up, Github buttons spam "Buy me a coffee!", Reddit says shit like, "Don't panic" when a webpage doesn't load. Shut the fuck up and leave me alone. I am so tired of being surrounded by these pale imitations of reality, like I need to be pacified with pseudo-emotions or meme culture every step of my day.

      Yeah, I get the brunt of it cause it's my job but even if I wasn't the one fixing things I'd still be annoyed by the learned helplessness...

          Why would they have shame? They've been conditioned to believe that giving up is an acceptable first step, and they never have to learn on their own with people like me around, so the possibility of being ashamed isn't even in the picture

      I'm the same as you, but not even at an adequate level. I just Google the problem every time. Everyone who asks for my help could just Google the problem and get the same answer as I do.
