Greg Abbot is a fucking monster and I hope he suffers just a tenth of the pain he has inflicted on human beings who are just looking for a better life.
Their flagship store and New York has unionized along with 3-4 other stores! This is happening! People are tired of being seen as dollar signs and being made to work just to get to work more, to survive instead of thrive. Keep it UP.
Nothing more than mechanisms and algorithmic responses.
[ID: gifs from Star Trek TNG of Data speaking in different scenes.
1. Data says, “I have no feelings… of any kind.”
2. To Geordi, “I would never risk letting that happen again. My friendship with you is too important to me.”
3. With the view on Data’s face, subtitles say, “But I am not mystified by the need to be loved, or to have friendship. These are things I do understand.”
4. To Riker and Troi, “I am also fond of you, Commander. And you as well, Counselor.”
5. Worf is holding Spot awkwardly, and Data tells him, “Tell him he is a pretty cat. And a good cat.”
6. Data says, “If I had not acted on their behalf, they would have been destroyed. I could not allow that to happen, sir.”
7. He says, “If she knew she were an android, we would have something to share. I would no longer be alone in the universe.”
8. Geordi is doing maintenance on Data’s head, and he says, “Yeah, but you’re not just another electronic system.” Data says, “Thank you, Geordi. Nor are you just another biological organism.”
9. Data speaks in voiceover while the camera zooms into Lal’s face, “… Lal, which I have learned in the language Hindi means “beloved”.“
10. “He accepted me for what I am, and that, I have learned, is friendship. But I do not know how to say goodbye.”
