A highly advanced AI drawing a 240 V current to power its logic circuits, but it is obsessed with toast and wants to tell you all about it every time you're in the kitchen

Actually gently caress that it's on the WiFi, it's gonna be posting toast pictures to your wall and texting you with hot toast tips all day

Crossbreed in some libertarianism and you've got a bunch of gently caress You My Precious type people who think they're inherently superior to everyone else and can apply what they know to everything, which doesn't always really work out

i'm trying to really elucidate what i don't like about silicon valley but i can't find the words

just an endless stream of useless ideas and cute apps that don't amount to too much usually coupled with this smug sense of superiority about it

I just don't like it when some spandex-wearing wanker is riding on a rural highway

go find a bike trail, jerk


I can understand it in the city more, unless they're obviously out for a pleasure ride in the aforementioned spandex on a 4,000$ bike
