im actually not opposed to paying for self checkout. no talking to a human cashier AND i don't have to deal with boomers who don't know how to use the machines? win-win!

also a lot of privileged men in tech just have like no connection to reality and think they're smart because they're part of a social class that gets assumed to be smart, but it's such a fragile position which you know from the moment you talk with them, and they all talk about being like "antifragile" well if you don't wanna have a fragile ego how about you have some humility, you can't fall from your intellectual larp if you don't do it!

<p>I like that Drummer has mech legs.</p>

honestly tech has gotten infected with that thing I think most of society has gotten where people think just like saying something makes it true, also lotta cargo cult opinions just emerge as true from the fact that a lot of people are saying them

<p>Amos keeps having lines where he explains he doesn&#39;t feel emotions and ironically it&#39;s hard for me to care. I guess he&#39;s either a natural sociopath, or maybe something was done to him to make him that way.</p><p>Hasn&#39;t felt fear since he was 5. Explains he can&#39;t feel guilty or scared. Okay dude.</p>

@epsi@akko.wtf serious note, imho cute is a state of mind and being tbh, can’t jettison away physical being but i’ve met people older than me who i would consider cute and full of youthful energy :33 also age perception is a funny thing, i’ve had people thing i’m in my thirties and i’ve had people think i’ve just turned twenty so :akko_confused: the true aging concern we should be worried about is your usual physical deterioration leading to more health concerns snowballing…
