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.
Yeah. I live in a foreign country, where people are notoriously bad at making contacts, so you get a lot of people in your network, but few friends. A lot of my social interaction then come form places like this, where you end up talking about intimate things with strangers, that otherwise you will talk to with a friend. And it does give you some relief, some sense of community, but it is also like a cheeseburger from McDonalds or a frozen pizza - something is just missing, and a website cannot really be your friend.
In the U.S. people are terrible at it as well. The only random people who want to be your friend just got started in Amway.
