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.
My two best friendships have consisted of buying each other food, cooking for each other, buying the other one tickets to a concert to not go alone, buying each other video games to share the experience etc.
Another consisted of a dude (I thought was a good friend at the time) crashing at my place 2-3 nights a week and sharing food with me, only to give me a fucking bill when he was moving away. Like, fucking what? And I was such an insecure lonely at the time that I paid it to continue the friendship, which ended there anyway.
That last one's messed up, wtf. Like, giving a friend the exact amount of money you owe them is weird enough, but billing them??
