"I can appreciate that these are well-made tools and value their thoughtful design, but that doesn't mean I have to respect them in the way that I would respect a person."

Oh boy this has been a crux of my existence since I can't remember when; things are things, tools are tools and living beings are and should be top therefore respected as such: top. Fuck robots, fuck machines, fuck mechanicals, either they do what you tell them or work how they're supposed to or get replaced.
