    Food, empathetic people, smiles, cute animals, those little glimpses through the fog, or if all else fails, spite.

      Yes. I’ve put up with too much crap not to get to become a cranky old person ranting unintelligible bullshit, someday.

      I plan for it to be relatively pleasant unintelligible bullshit. But unintelligible bullshit it will still be.

        When the scientists wanted to get the first computers connected to what would become the internet, they plugged in special parts to let the computer audibly scream at a phone! It was loud and horrible and I miss those old screams.

        Some humans were able to memorize those computer screams and could scream them well enough themself to trick the phone into doing all sorts of things.
