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.

    This reminds me of a stupid anecdote from my life. I lived in a town with a population of <5,000 on 9/11 and the school board banned kids walking to and from school at least till the next semester. Like, what did they think was going to happen?
