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.

    Zizek talked about this a little, how "the encounter" that makes love romantic get stripped away with Tinder and such apps. There's no chance encounter or crossing of paths, everything has been prearranged by a corporation for you and so on and so forth.
