Blonde: You know, I was thinking about Freud’s theory about technology being an extension of human beings, thereby making us prosthetic gods
Brunette: Cause I’m happy da da da
Blonde: The more we use technology in our daily lives, the more we, as Feud correctly noted, the more it becomes an extension of the self.
Brunette: Goodbye to you, goodbye to everything that I knew…
