The soundscape.

My heart is not to scale

oh shit I don't know

not to scale

What isn't

the model train? No, I feel like those are intentionally very much TO scale. All I can think about now are things that are to scale. I guess pictures on cereal boxes are "not to scale"

I am

fine

I'm annoyed. I shouldn't be. I mean, it's okay to be. I just can't quite ...my emotions are a maze. I need to plug this in.

The cheese is not to scale

I need to get less annoyed by alexa maybe.

I dunno. I can be annoyed by the design choices that went into her. Like that one. The one where I can it "she". It is an it. I'll be in line to be respectful of artificial sentience when that's around, but right now it's some capitalist, corporate bullshit that anthropomorphizes their products. Maybe there's no right choice when it comes to a device that communicates verbally. But I can be annoyed at the design choices that makes her so verbose. Ugh IT. not succinct at all. And trying to upsell me on Amazon products, too. It's rotten that there are so many things it does that I don't want. Can't I buy a product that just plays music and makes timers, but doesn't offer to sell me shit? UGH UGH UGH.

My rage is not to scale. Or something. Maybe it is. Maybe any degree is valid, because it's about the horrors of capitalism in general as well as the annoyance of advertising in particular. They didn't have to give it a human name.

In-fucking-sidious.
