I just sit there and guess if the singers will use my full name, or the short form, or my nickname. And then giggle stupid when they inevitably try to use all 3 together.

My remote coworkers are never the height I expect them to be.

My grocery store has a "imperfect produce" section, where they have funny shaped bananas, oranges that are not round, that sort of thing. Really cheap, and just as tasty.

Bananas are already pretty cheap. I think they are the cheapest fruit in the grocery store.

In his Enshittification book, Cory referred to this as "technofeudalism" —essentially the return to the feudal society where there are owner elites and peasant subjects. The owners control everything, and the peasant have to rent access under the terms and conditions set by the owners. In the technofeudalism model, everybody (the peasants) have to subscribe to access anything from the corporations (the owner elites), with the corporations retaining all the power.
