You can't just call people that out of the blue. How very dare you.

It's more of a spreadsheet...

Yes, a symptom of final product releases actually just being public betas and release dates being effectively communicated as "when we're effing ready, okay?".

Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage. A woman answers the door. We have come for the child, says the hooded figure So soon? she asks It is time, says the hooded figure. The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card! What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading! For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman, the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them. Do not cry mother. I am a writer now.

At least you got there by self-reflection and did not blame it on chemtrails or whatnot.

Are you "smiling with subtle satisfaction into a cup of tea while checking the listing" pleased? Then no.

A flatscreen display on a "smart" water fountain, demanding to be reconnected to the internet.

In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."

Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!

And the woman did speak unto the hound, saying, What do you mean, normal men, and the hound answered the woman, saying, We are just innocent men. And great was her emotion

Comic. [Person and person with white hat facing two boxes stacked with $80 price tag and sale tag on each box.] PERSON 1: They want $80 for this? I could make one myself for $10 in parts, an hour of work, a trip to the hardware store, another $30 in parts, another few hours of work, two more trips to the store for $20 more in parts, another hour of work to redo the first hour of work because I messed up, and $80 to buy this when the one I made breaks.

Oi! I resemble that remark!

When I get it right, it tells me to “Keep going!”. Yes, with an exclamation mark. 🧐

I fully expect it to say “Yes, just like that!” any day now, and I don’t think I’d know how to react if that were to happen.

I have a new shaver which comes with an app to help you learn the shaving technique it apparently requires for optimum performance.

If I don’t get it right, the app tells me to “Try smaller circles”. As an instruction this feels somewhat, um, reminiscent.
