If you're ever in the misty forest and spot a harried little mouse wearing armor and carrying a tiny sword, please leave them be.
They have bigger & furrier problems to deal with, just like we all do.
thoughtfully cw'ed vent posts are really interesting because they give you the catharsis of complaining to somebody about something, so that the irritating element can thus be ritually cast from your mind, but! the audience is only imaginary (pocket friends are distributed across time, space, and attention availability) and also voluntary (the cw makes it opt-in), so your soul isn't stained by trauma dumping on somebody who really wants to escape the conversation. what a practice!
I wish more people got hired just for being decent people you want to have around instead of everything having to be about ROI all the time. One of my favorite coworkers is the local office manager. She's probably the "least important" by capitalist BS metrics but she's also one of the kindest people you'll ever meet. She makes me want to show up to work.

Them: if you set aside all the ethical concerns…

Me: this is what evil is. This is how evil talks.

Really just gonna be a failed real estate mogul turned reality tv host, an alcoholic Fox News commenter turned warmonger and a coked up neonazi dork in the end, isn’t it. The purest, distilled essence of the Republican Party, the only honest moment this administration has ever produced. That’s how this all ends.

Know what?

I really want the shine to come off of computer based tech. I want it to be more like plumbing.
I want folk to think of the fancy phones and computers the way that they think of their faucets or toilets.
Sure, there are going to be some folk that'll go for the equivalent of the Japanese heated bidets that sing to you and give you a massage, but by-and-large, that's not what most folk will want to use, and the folk that buy voice controlled faucets will always be a bit weird.

Why do I want this? Because then we can focus on actually providing folk with services that they need in ways that they can use and we can have less big media expos where slick sales folk try to sell us "smart pipes" for our home sewer system.
