Same. Growing up Gen X, I always thought robots being used for evil would be cool dystopian dictatorships that would try to grind me under its boot but I would resist. Instead it’s just twerps who are so terminally online they can’t fathom other people seem to have feelings.

- throwaway2025_1 5mo agoOooh, just what I need for my spam and troll trap! I'd planned on feeding the spam to the trolls but it seemed a like unethical and prone to obesity. Plus cross breeding could be a problem. Can I install it in an AirBnB or do they come pre-fitted?
