Sensory Dispensary

“The record you didn’t know you needed is what I am listening to in the other room.”

Faded concert posters line the dark walls. Wisps of incense smoke curl through the golden light. The mood is intimate, analog, and deeply atmospheric with rich sepia and brown tones against near-black shadows. | photorealistic | landscape

What do you mean we?

I love the thing that happens on the internet, particularly in software support forums, where one person decides they can speak on behalf of myself and the rest of a product’s users (We), as if it is inconceivable to them that not everyone shares their opinion, preferences, priorities, etc..

Add to that, of course, their magical all-knowing deep knowledge of a companies plans and priorities, along with an uncanny ability to ascertain and understand the complexity of a product’s code base so they can determine the feasibility of making “trivial” updates and changes that are essential to us. I mean, it’s just a database, how hard can it be to add…..

I didn’t elect you as my spokesperson, so speak for yourself or shut your goddamn mouth.

All this reminds me of that old Lone Ranger / Tonto joke – “What do you mean we….?”
