Wandering Adventure Party

@monkeyben @Cyberoutsider @pluralistic

Was at a Starbucks recently (yeah, I know) and after the barista had what seemed like an authentic, human interaction with a customer, the manager walked by her and said "nice connect!" like the whole thing was a sport and the employee just scored a point.

Had the sense that SBUX and pick up artists were using the same vile playbook.

@brentsimmons In retrospect, I wonder if all the chatter way back when about the death of Google Reader served to convince people that RSS was dead (and therefore everybody should sign up for Facebook).
