I just imagined reading your comment from the perspective of a layman 20 or 30 years ago. It's amazing how far we've come as a species!

that's hopelessly optimistic. so dogs can send texts. so what? we still clamor for power and ignore the consequences of our actions at every level and in every facet of life. we are hopelessly animalistic and primal in our social and environmental dealings, which is not offset by technological advances which often amplify our shortcomings.
We can appreciate that one of us was patient enough to set those burning desires for power aside and allow his dog to communicate that he misses him, and he has to take a poop.
of course we can. i thought it was funny.
Mmm, I think you were at least kinda serious
i legitimately thought the dog sending too many texts was funny and the project was cool. i was serious in disagreeing with our species coming so far.
