snare
I feel like a rabbit in a snare with this stuff.
‘Don’t worry, all the rabbits are caught up, it’s what it means to be a rabbit these days.’
Dinner.
Bring on the night. 
I understand that, and I don’t think your perspective is wrong because of how it sometimes feels as a user/customer. Sometimes, though, I stop and think about how amazing it seems to me that any of this stuff works together at all.
When I bought my first PC that was actually mine, I really enjoyed using it as a tool to play and to get stuff done, and it was something for me to learn about, to learn how to use and how to make it do what I wanted it to do and to look and work in a way that made sense to me. Eventually I bought and installed a modem, and I learned how to connect my PC to other computers, and I thought, “This is great! I’m never going to have a computer without a modem again.” Some time later, I had my first PC with a built-in network adapter, and that was even better. My PC could connect to more computers even faster.
Only a few years ago I had my first experience with a smart speaker. I was able to talk—actually talk with my voice!—to a computer and have it do things like turn on lights or answer questions for me. I felt like I was on Star Trek.
I’m amazed at the people who have put in all the thought and planning that now allows such disparate devices to communicate and interact with one another and make it so easy for average folk like me to connect these things and have them (usually) work as expected. I’m also amazed at the human capacity to adapt to the change of “the new normal”—to take for granted things that didn’t even exist a few years ago and suddenly become frustrated when these amazing marvels of technology aren’t working the way we want them to. I’m right there in that camp. Swearing at malfunctioning gadgets is a frequent pastime. That’s when I have to remind myself to step back in awe that any of this stuff actually works at all.
What a piece of work is man!
This reminds me of the Sting album and documentary (and the preceding Police song). Maybe it’s a candidate for Frog Lick 👅 Cinema!.

at night.
I couldn’t have said it better myself. Sometimes I feel like I am in a Matrix world. How can hundreds of thousands of pounds fly across the sky, or how can multi ton metal vessel float in the water? Is this all possible? Don’t judge me or correct me, I know how all this stuff is possible, I’m just saying

I actually watched that while on my walk today. Thanks for the recommendation! I still have The Hire and Matt’s wife’s documentary (and a bunch of other stuff) on my list.

I agree. I understand that he’s had some public problems, but I think that he’s a real thinker and that his comedy demonstrates a lot of insight. I think he and Dave Chappelle are similar in that regard.
Breaking! Peepacy & Papacy lock arms!
Peep and Pope on same page re AI. Agree it must go to confession. Repent. Reform.
No immediate response from AI. Appears ‘penitent’ but you never know.
In other news: Starlets and pre-starlets continue to present parts without much coverage. Teenage boys beginning to say ‘less less is more.’ 
Okay?
I see you gave in to peer pressure and changed your avatar too
