Sadly, my Autistic ass considers a lot of inanimate objects as "human". I end up talking to them as if they had human emotions and feelings. I even feel guilty if I end up banging things or losing them entirely.

Cars, computers, washing machines, gaming consoles, plants, cats, NPCs in video games, even LLMs...

I would have liked to see Pulaski get more fleshed out. And try to round out her character, like the EMH.

    I remember seeing a program that used something else once, and when I worked in web apps and websites, there was always a debate about what to use.

    A common one is a folder icon (or a tray) with a download arrow... DESPITE it being used to save locally. Same thing with a cloud with a down arrow.

    Some other programs used to use the icon for a hard disk, the three circular platters.

    If I remember the app, Ill give better examples of programs that use other things.
