oo2 | Meatbags

[autodidacticrobogirl]

Today I caught myself referring to humans as "spaghetti-coded wetware." I guess that's actually a step up from "meatbags." I bet people will still take offense for some reason. Also, I'm out of coffee. This is stupid, where do I get more coffee in this place?

There's no supermarket.

Maybe I could invent a coffee machine that doesn't run out. There has to be a better way of doing this. Also, I need to talk to the doctor, probably. Is that thing ever where it's supposed to be? Jeez, this place is boring. If it weren't for all the... Y'know, it wouldn't be worth getting up in the morning.

Ah, there is a coffee shop on deck eight which I tend to take care of from time to time.

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

I am going to need more coffee than that.

[missmimmi]

...Oh.

[Um]

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

I once tried to cut down to six pots a day. It was a disaster. I'm not doing it again.

Spaghetti-coded wetware?

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

You know...Spaghetti code?

[Crap. Normal people are talking to her. HOW DO THEY NOT KNOW THESE WORDS.]

A mess. Like. The Gorgon's knot. The only way to fix it is to scrap and start over.

[thenotmagician]

...Uhuh. That makes sense.

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

Of course it does. I always make sense.

[notwhatiwas.livejournal.com]

It's referring to sentient beings as though they're nonsentient that's offensive, not the words themselves.

[Short and to the point.]

You can probably find a percolator on deck twelve, or at the Bazaar.

If people don't like having their hardware being called what it is, then they should change it.

[Equally to the point. Kim has opinions about this topic.]

Thanks.

[notwhatiwas.livejournal.com]

Most people can't.

[Most people. Technically Vincent can, but it's all organic in the end.]

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

Sure they can. It's a matter of wanting it enough. For some people even that's offensive.

[sigh]

I mean, I understand that there are people in this world who have no ambitions, I'm just not sure I can comprehend the condition.

[erhabenheit.livejournal.com]

Don't bother. They wouldn't recognize a compliment if it was forcibly hardwired into their skulls.

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

You think? They're inefficient, not stupid.

[erhabenheit.livejournal.com]

[Oh great. And here he was all excited.]

Then I guess we have a difference of opinion.

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

...Maybe that's phrased wrong. But you have to admit, even a vanishingly low percentile of return-on-investment is still a return.

[lightwithin]

There's probably coffee in The Bazaar. It's not a supermarket, but it has most normal things like that.

Why would you call people names like that?

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

Because it's the truth?

[lightwithin]

No it's not. We're more than just meat and bones.

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

Meaning...?

[powerofgod.livejournal.com]

Deck twelve might yield some results.

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

So I've heard.

What's your take on this place?

[audio]

[powerofgod.livejournal.com]

It's unlike anywhere I've seen or heard of. So far I am reserving judgment.

[teethofneedles.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it. Freakin' breathers, man.

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

They act like a few upgrades is the worst thing that could happen to a person. They apologize.

Isn't that the most annoying thing? "Oh, we're so sorry that you're not exactly like us."
