I’ve been saying “semantic satiation” over and over to the point where it’s just lost all meaning to me.

@Chrishallbeck At the self-checkout, every produce item is 4011. The stores don't even train their employee clerks on produce identification. How can I, an untrained layperson, be expected to know what it is that I am buying--even though I put it on my list and carefully picked it out?

I never use self-check-out’ for exactly this reason. Why should I pay to be a cashier? I felt the same way when the’Bag & Save’ opened decades ago in my old neighborhood. We called it ‘Bag & Slave’.

@Chrishallbeck I've been cursed to bite my tongue. Crunchy bites, that bleed. And sneezing. I'm constantly sneezing. It's always two quick sneezes, then a third. I don't know what I did or who I did it to, but I'm sorry. Unless it was something totally worth it.

@Chrishallbeck "The people will not revolt. They will not look up from their screens long enough to notice what is happening" is often attributed to George Orwell's dystopian novel 1984. However, this quote is not actually in the novel. The earliest known instance of this quote is from a 2014 stage adaptation of 1984 by Robert Icke.

Don’t toss batteries when they are almost dead. Put them in kids toys at someone else’s house.

Apparently “Rock’em Sock’em Robots” is about punching? I knitted these tiny robot socks for nothing.

@Chrishallbeck Oh come on, this is terrible parenting. If that kid doesn't ring the bell the algorithm won't surface the next story anyway. Children should learn about contorting their behavior in hopes of satisfying an unknowable algorithm at home, not on the streets.

@Chrishallbeck What the hell did people do to their eyes? <image of flying eyes with a person (myself) cowering, a la Alfred H's /The Birds/ poster> |
@Chrishallbeck I'm reading the MurderBot books by Martha Wells. I think MurderBot would agree.

@Chrishallbeck The Tin Man of Oz had a heart before, so he knew what he was missing.
