robots are meant to replace workers it's kind of their whole thing. the automation of labor
cold take: they should (for as long as thry remain only machines) be doing the necessary hellish unpleasant work; not "art"
they should be fighting fires, and climbing telephone service towers, and welding offshore windfarms
i want to make my partner's life as easy and gentle as possible. i make the bed, and do the dishes, and sweep the floor, and run and fold the laundr as close to 100% of the time as possible. i haven't started but i have plans and promises for furniture for our apartment.
i don't like this labor, but part of me feels that this is the only real way for me to express my love for them. it feels like everything else is frustrating for them or comes up short. they don't like sex. they put up with my cooking on the off day that i do cook, but usually they politely eat 2 or 3 bites and the rest is thrown away. i feel both like i don't listen and that when it's my turn to talk that i'm not heard.
i'd like to have a machine, or a number of machines do this work for me. i have things i'd rather do. but those machines that are so purpose built to suit the needs of my apartment do not exist. i'm waiting for a godot of my own it feels like.
i'm going to wait at least until the lease runs out, before i decide whether i want to break things off or not. i think i do love them, but that there's a gap there that i can't bridge. i'm hoping that something will change.
