Two dogs bossing around two guys.
Avid readers, psychological science student, 日本語 学生, actor, writers (especially pantomime), proof readers, copy editors - this is all the two guys, not the dogs!

Had an argument with a chatbot today...
Why does everything need to be automated and artificial?
When we outsource ourselves as humans we lose more than jobs, we lose art, writing, thinking... our very humanity.

Trying to budget & save but I'm weary of retailers who encourage you to 'become a member' & #earn #rewards, only to tell you that said rewards will be forfeited within 4 weeks of earning them if not spent.
I get it from a #marketing pov. As a consumer I feel it's wrong.
