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.

    Been on Grindr a lot lately. They have these ads for this puzzle game on mobile and the puzzles are all insanely stupid but the ad always does them wrong and idk how much time I waste looking at this dude flubbing this stupid puzzle. I just wanna jump in and do it for him but then I know this app will be a waste of my time and will probably spam me with more ads.

      I think its actually some kind of marketing tactic to show someone attempting to play the game with 2 brain cells and bait you into thinking "I could do it so much better"
