Why is the Internet like this?
I am highly disappointed in it.
Surely there is more to it than this.

Everyone can be much better than this.
Much, much better.
Honestly.

And whoever told my god about these cellphones, I would like a word.
Many of them.

I am publicly shaming you for your behavior so that you will cease.
Please stop sending me SO MANY messages.
And no, I do not like any of the emoji.
None of them.
Not one of them.

You're gonna be disappointed in a lot of things here, then. Internet's the most fun thing about this place.

I weep for the people.

See, you're learning at least. Imagine how dull things would be without your phone.

[deference]

Sadly I can't.
I have general knowledge of what was a time without this device.
But I have little basis to be able to say how things would be without it.
I can, however, say that the Internet is not what I was told it was.

[volksdaemon]

Haha - what were you expecting? Some big library of information? Try wikipedia.

[deference]

No.
A professional air about how we conduct ourselves.
We are servants to humans first and foremost.

[volksdaemon]

Oh I call bullshit on that. They need us to answer prayers for them. Some servant.

[deference]

Are you uncertain what a servant is?
There is a dictionary on this device and so I shall await you to look it up.

But to cut to the chase, as it were.
Without them, we would not exist.

[volksdaemon]

A servant doesn't get to choose how to serve though. If their prayer is to jump off a bridge, I don't have to ask 'how high?' and I don't have to ask them which bridge or what time of day or any of that.

[deference]

A servant does get to choose how they serve. It is up to the person who is having their prayer answer, of course, if the manner in which it is done is adequate or inadequate.
