Feed Log: 0417 Hours:
USER.Murderbot: If I wanted to know how hauler cranes are made, I'd download a manual, not waste forty-five minutes of media time on it.
USER.SecThree: It's educational.
USER.SecThree: And there are currently twenty-nine completed seasons of “How It’s Constructed” plus a thirtieth airing now. You like shows with multiple completed seasons.
USER.Murderbot: Only when they're actual shows. With a plot. And characters.
USER.SecThree: You watch “Disaster Deep Dives” with Pin-Lee without complaint.
USER.Murderbot: Fine. Do you want to watch that?
USER.SecThree: No.
USER.Murderbot: 😒
USER.SecThree: I was just making a point. 😏 You do watch some RealFeed productions.
USER.Murderbot: I watch ONE (1). It’s objectively the most boring entertainment feed.
USER.Murderbot: Also, fuck you.
USER.SecThree: 😂
USER.SecThree: Say what you want, but it’s immensely preferable to the CWFeed.
USER.Murderbot: 💬
USER.Murderbot: 💬
USER.Murderbot: 🖕
USER.Murderbot: This is why we don’t watch media together.
USER.SecThree: I think we have different definitions of media as a concept. 😂
USER.Murderbot: You’re a surprisingly big feed snob for someone who’s seen so little media.
USER.SecThree: I've seen enough to know what I like. And I don't like media about humans in stressful situations.
USER.Murderbot: Define “stressful.” That’s a big category.
USER.SecThree: Anything the CWFeed makes.
USER.Murderbot: You know they make more than Sanctuary Moon.
USER.Murderbot: There are some good comedies.
USER.SecThree: Laugh tracks are also stressful.
USER.Murderbot: 😒😒😒
USER.Murderbot: Why are you the way that you are?
USER.SecThree: I think humans are the problem.
USER.Murderbot: What?
USER.SecThree: I like humans, but the ones we have are enough. I don’t need fictional ones and their problems, too. This makes media without them preferable for me.
USER.Murderbot: Huh.
USER.Murderbot: That’s…different. But it makes sense.
USER.Murderbot: I’m not exactly looking for extra problems, either, though.
USER.SecThree: No. But you do like humans more than I do in general. And collecting media characters is less stressful than collecting extra actual humans.
USER.Murderbot: I do NOT.
USER.SecThree: 😏
USER.Murderbot: Fuck you again, Three.
USER.SecThree: It isn’t a bad thing.
USER.Murderbot: It isn’t a thing at all.
USER.Murderbot: Are we watching something or not? Because I will absolutely drop this feed if this is what you want to talk about instead.
USER.SecThree: There’s a documentary series on DiscoverItFeed about mysterious architecture. Is that an acceptable compromise?
USER.Murderbot: What the fuck is “mysterious architecture?”
USER.Murderbot: But fine. That’s probably better than the construction show.
USER.SecThree: It probably even has a human narrator. 😏
USER. Murderbot: 🖕
