Nightmares get a bad rap
Nightmares are so much fun! It's the most immersive horror movie you've ever watched. Or a comedy-horror movie about how you're in school again standing naked in front of all your classmates because you forgot to wear your clothes and you realize that this is more than just about your clothes. You exist in a perpetual state of shame with no end in sight. You talk about acceptance but then use every chance you get to criticize yourself for... Okay, I take it back, nightmares can be bad I guess.

Why is everything broken?
I am the last person who would complain about bugs in tools I use. Being a dev responsible for many bugs over the years, makes me empathize with other devs so even the most frustrating buggy experiences I run into ends with me going "eh, shit happens".
But recently, the web has been a bit more buggy that I'm used to. Websites and apps just breaking all over the place. From the people I've spoken to about this, I no longer think it's just me. The theory that came up is all the AI-driven work done in the software industry but I don't think that's it. As much as I dislike AI's forced involvement in everything, I don't think the problem is just AI, but rather the effect this is having on people. I think the disorientation from being pushed in the deep end with AI is making experienced devs careless and hurting our attention to detail.
Attention to detail is everything I appreaciate about the output people produce in the world. So people loosing that makes people a lot less interesting and apps a lot more useless. Hope that turns around.

All consume, no produce
Let's just stop creating. What has being creative actually got us, really? Let's just consume. Time to replace every outlet that humans have to produce any kind of output and turn that into an act of consumption as well. We've already succeeded in doing that to all forms of digital works - art, code, writing, videos, etc. but why stop there? I took a shit earlier today, why even that? Let's pass a law that some corporation owns all shit in the world and people are legally obligated to buy it from them for permission to drop it out of their assholes. Otherwise the corporation is well within their right to sue them for damage to their property. Add a toilet-seat + flush monthly subscription to that and boom, utopia!

The powder sticking to my feet can go fuck itself
And the water after I wash my feet but at least that has the decency to dry itself after a bit.
