It's not even that.

The technology never, ever works as well as it's hyped. It's a sales ploy, not a feature.

The purpose is always data collection, and the data is always leaked.

Vulnerabilities and the progression of tech make these kinds of bells and whistles age out of practical use faster, costing the consumer more over the long run.

F this kind of noise in particular, this is not progress.

Isn't it that rapping cartoon dog from the PS1?

Me after a restart following a seemingly harmless package update:

“Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!”

Languid incompetence, no less. "It probably won't happen while I'm in charge..."

For real. I was there a while back, and I was surprised at how much traffic there was in the Quarter. There's very little relative cost to a delivery-only bollard system. Many other cities have the same systems up.

Well, there's always me after 3 whiskeys.

Greece. Food is usually good, but spice is a totally foreign concept.

And Mexican food in Greece is hilariously bad. Like they can't even Google a picture of nachos?

Once years ago when I used to smoke, on was visiting Ghana and people were literally yelling at me for smoking in public. It's illegal to smoke in public in a few African countries at this point IIRC.

Ugh...Just laying on that couch... Can't defeat natural causes with a wooden stake.

The gut punch was Gina Torres, and Zoe not being allowed to grieve and be with Wash.

I watched Serenity again a couple years ago, and it was just as harsh and abrupt as I remember it. It's a hard emotional jab at anyone who has ever loved a partner that's a part of their everyday life.

Depends on the origin, but a freshly fermented and dried whole bean from the farm is like light drugs. Your heart skips a beat, you inhale, you smile, and life gets noticeably better.
