Somebody said "once you learn to recognize this pattern you'll see it everywhere." I was half hoping I never would; now that I do I'm sure it will be depressing to read most web content generated after 2023. Sigh.

This is why humanity can't have nice things -- it's not X (because we break them like careless children), but Y (we make cheap crappy copies that push out the good and the real).

But here's the thing. No, actually, there is no other thing. This is our future now.

And honestly? I think I'll go talk that that guy I knew in high school and see if he's willing to train a new welder.
