Yeah. The thing is, the finicky interactions between components, and the obscure bugs that may arise are reminiscent of some moody magical creature living inside, just saying "fuck it, here's a kernel panic" out of nowhere.

For the record, Fuck AI and tech bros with a rusty pole.

What I mean is that computers are so complex they end up being very fragile, in a way.

A few years ago, a friend was having random issues with her PC. Random crashes, garbled data. Long story short, it ended up being a couple of faulty bytes on one of her RAM sticks.

We were not wealthy, but he worked for a government owned public company, which coupled with strong unions and worker's rights meant he earned a nice wage just working 8 hour shifts without so much overtime

Not my mother, but my father.

He spent literally all my childhood "working" 16 hour shifts (not because he needed to) while neglecting his kids, and tries to solve all our problems with money instead of, you know, actually listening and supporting his kids emotionally, and now asks why none of us visit him.

Uruguayan here.

Even though we learn(ed?) the conjugations as "yo como, tú comes, él come, nosotros comemos, vosotros coméis, ellos comen", Uruguayan Spanish uses neither "tú" ("vos" in informal contexts, and "usted" in formal contexts), nor "vosotros" (we use "ustedes").

So in actual everyday talk is "yo como, vos comés (*), él come, nosotros comemos, ustedes comen, ellos comen".

(*) Note the accent, I recently learned it's commonly called voseo rioplatense, or more formally, Español rioplatense.
