      Assuming you’re the real Justin Hanagan, I ask you this: do you honestly think Rotten Tomato reviews are an adequate replacement for staff picks and human curated collections?

      If so, a pox on your house, sir.

  This is worthy of the onion. I cant tell if this whole article is sarcasm or if the author really thinks this.

    Hahaha he’s almost too subtle with his sarcasm but I’m 99% sure he’s, as the Brits say, taking the piss.

  Poe’s Law in effect in this thread. This is clearly satire.

  I thought it was a good read - people don’t think about the value in some of the things we’ve lost in the name of efficiency. It’s like a corner store where you know the employees and see your neighbors versus a big box store with lower prices.

    The example you mention is actually in the essay itself. But yes, it would be nice if the technology companies could work on a way to automate the stuff we don't enjoy doing instead of the stuff that brings meaning into our lives.

      automate the stuff we don't enjoy doing

      washing machines

      Dryers

      Stoves you don't have to chop wood for.

      Water that comes at the turn of a tap

      Cars

      electric shavers

      etc

  Ugh yes, finally. More time to doom scroll the feeds, numb to the real world. I just need enough dopamine to keep swiping.
