#625: Collections
Man: I now have every Discworld book!
Woman: Eh. Building a Kindle collection seems pointless.
Man: Yeah, I know the DRM means I’ll probably lose them someday.
Woman: No, pointless in general.
Woman: Sure, you satisfy deep magpie-like urges by building neat collections, but you still die alone.
Man: Sorry, sometimes I mistake your existential crises for technical insights.
Woman: Sometimes I mistake this for a universe that cares.
