Gggrrrm arrgh

It's done it again, I start a search on Amazon and find it's taken me back to a previous but related search WHY, WHY, does it do this? How dare this supposedly unthinking pile of offal, think that it knows what I want, when I've told it something different? It's like an abusive relationship! I feel like it's gaslighting me.

A major supermarket tried to rip me off earlier too, it had an alleged special offer 4 for £5, and despite having lables confirming this on the shelf, it didnt' at the till, so I challenged them and a supervisor had to go and check and she came back equally confused, but put my stuff through at 4 for £5 as the signage was so unclear and confusing. It feels like a deliberate attempt to get people to buy more than they would if it wasn't on offer, this supermarket has form for this, which is why I always check to make sure. Ggggrrrrr.

I did buy a pretty bush half price in another shop, about the same as the money I saved on the other stuff.

What's made you Ggrr and arrgh lately?

    Maybe AI has reached singularity and has chosen to be an abusive, mysoginistic system and is using you to practice on.

    It can connect into the supermarket point of sales system, your computer and potentially even your home appliances so could explain a lot.

    When was the last time you sacreficed a goat to the computer gods? I try to do it on the second Tuesday of every month without fail Wink

    Does paganism allow for the possibility of computer gods?

  • Tell your Mum it's unnatural for mother and daughter to fancy the same man.

    *****************************

    We do allow for the divine online, but we don't sacrifice animals and I've never met any Pagans that do, it might have been done in the past, but not now. 

    I feel as though I've had an abusive relationship with computers, websites and particularly amazon since long before AI.
