        I understand, and I think it's worse than manufacturing it like that; it implies someone took note of how impersonal and alienating a robot screeching at you to pick up garbage is and sought to rectify it by making the robot that screeches at you to pick up garbage smile.

        I've made unhinged comments here before about putting fucking smiles on everything, it drives me absolutely postal seeing so many goddamn smiles on all these inanimate objects; mocking my animate misery with their inanimate and synthetic joy.
