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.

    I'm so fucking glad that I had a gigantic stubborn nerd as a father who would always rope me into trying to fix shit that broke around the house instead of paying someone else to do it or simply throwing it away. Taught me a lot about trying to fix stuff instead of just tossing it the second it didn't work properly anymore.
