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.
Tbh I get why people say "I'm fine." If I say I'm having a bad day invariably people I barely know will probe me with questions about my personal life. Why can't I just be miserable without scrutiny or having to explain myself?
I know, and I understand because I say "fine"for the same reason. It's just that... we don't go out looking for "fine" things to fix, ya feel me? It feels like we're all just gaslighting ourselves straight into the grave.
