#writever to ask @WriteverJ to retweet you

1/Meet
Nowadays, you don't meet people you are not supposed to meet.
The mobility plan is also a peace and safety tool, anticipating who you'll be able to talk to, who you'll agree with and who you won't.
I didn't meet my wife. We were chosen for one another.
#writever

2/Consent
When you are a sexbot, people think that your mere existence means unconditional consent to anything.
The human client has to sign a service agreement, but they also have to declare any new practice they intend to perform.
#writever

3/Friendship
I'm surprised I have to tell you that no, all robots don't know each other and, no, we're not friends with every single robot in the world.
It's not ignorance, Terence.
You just don't consider us as individuals. It's a problem, and it's offensive.
#writever

4/Complicity
Getting your robot out of their transfer bag, switching them on and checking their parameters can be the first moment of complicity between them and you. That's why we advise you to do it yourself.
#writever

5/Spark
Of course, sometimes, our communication is less easy. When the humans talk about sparks, it's supposed to be happy. They call it Love and their behavior changes.
Spark is a problem for us too.  Kind of an electrical malfunction.
#writever

6/Trust
People are sure that robots are unable to lie and have to be trusted whatever they say.
Not only can we lie, but it's always possible to hide some pieces of information and to make mistakes.
However, letting them believe this, is a protection to us.
#writever

7/Smile
Robots don't smile.
This I had learnt and everybody said.
But yesterday, I saw my robot roommate who was taking care of our plants, watering them and talking to them. Seeing a new growing flower, they smiled, and said with soft voice : Good! Very good.
#writever

8/Link
Androids are robots with at least one human organ. Some people think there's a link between what they do and who the giver was, whatever organ they received from them.
It's nonsense.
#writever

9/Look
Some autistic persons were mistaken for robots, because of the way they looked at the others.  Some robots were mistaken for human with autism too. That's what led these populations to become allies in an extremely normative society.
#writever

10/Declaration
When robots travelled abroad, they had to present a custom declaration mentioning their weight and the complete list of their components.
Many preferred to avoid what they felt was a humiliation and stayed home.
#writever

11/Polyamory
Robots do fall in love. They just don't practice exclusivity and gender preferences as a normal basis for relationships. Most of them are polyamourous, even those who date human beings.
#writever

12/Date
Of course, polyamorous robots used to organize multidates. They invited their lovers  to have dinner or watch a show. The lovers often came with their other lovers, making dates great and joyfully meetings.
#writever

13/Passion
I'm not telling you that you mustn't have any feelings.
What I say is that violent emotions are not good for your electric balance. You'd better avoid anger, passion, fear...
#writever

14/Seduction
Although most robots like to initiate and take part in love relationships, some of them seem to be refractory to any seduction attempt.
They just don't understand that kind of interaction.
#writever

15/Attentions
When dating robots, you first appreciate their small attentions like remembering your favorite things or your birthday.
Later, you realize that, anyway, they are unable to forget, and you become more indulgent to humans.
#writever

16/Letter
When the human teenagers want to avoid the vigilance of the teachers robots they write letters. Handwritten notes that the robots' programs are no longer able to decrypt.
#writever

17/Laugher
Have you ever heard a robot laugh?
It's a common functionality, but robots have a very specific sense of humor and they usually don't understand our jokes.
Sometimes, you can catch a laugher when they talk together, with no human around.
#writever

18/Sweetness
The first robot citizens had to be sponsored, or, in other words, ordered and configured by a human or a corporation.
The most popular demands were sweetness and patience.
What is a sweet robot?
#writever

19/ Surprise
Most robots hate surprises.
An event you're not prepared to forces you to process a great amount of unknown data with all your security protocol on.
Sometimes you freeze for a moment, unable to have interactions.
Please, no surprise, you'll be kind.
#writever

20/Flame
A robot is burning.
A robot is dying in a blue and orange flame.
A short-circuit, ignited their body.
Nobody is helping.
They're fascinated by the light.
#writever

21/Pleasure
The official discourse about the robotic nurses, so useful that they were given citizenship is a lie.
The first registered robots were sex robots, pleasure providers, so sophisticated that they were considered conscious.
#writever

22/Potion
As we had noticed that humans frequently drank alcohol together in the beginning of romantic relationships, we thought they used to add a kind of potion to their wine and beer.
But when we analyzed their drinks, it was just ordinary alcohol.
#writever

23/Fall
When a human being had one of their organ replaced by a prosthesis, they were considered less human.
«He has fallen robot» they said, and when they had more than 5 prosthetic organs, they were called cyborgs.
#writever

24/Heart
We, robots know what we owe to humans, but copying them will prevent us from evolving for real.
What's the purpose of having a battery where they have a heart?
Do we really need feet, and a mouth?
#writever

25/Impetus
In the 2050's the falling birth rate, due to the climate crisis gave a great impetus to the adoption of robots.
They were of pleasant companionship and a real help to take wise decisions and create new habits.
#writever

26/Disaffection
When the human of a mixed couple feels disaffection for their robot partner, they discover how hard it is to explain this clearly.
The robots need a good reason to erase the relationship from their program.
#writever

27/Fusion
Heat is OK for the robots, which is good news, as the climate warms. But they must avoid coldness that makes them heat, and risk circuit fusion.
#writever

28/Thunderbolt
Do humans really like to be in love? Robbie asked. In their poetry, there is always something about fever, thunderbolt or devastation.
Some of their diseases seem much more pleasant.
#writever

29/Throb
In a robot's body, some parts can move, and some can roll, but nothing throbs.
Such an organic phenomenon would be something like an error.
Their heart doesn't throb. It beats, like a clock.
#writever

30/Chemistry
The mechanisms of the robots' bodies have often been studied. But few researchers have shown interest in their internal chemistry, which plays an important role in emotional regulation. Would you mind me trying to measure your gas and fluids flow?
#writever

31/Love
Robots can't really love somebody, people used to say.
But when they were showed evidences of such an attachment, they said :
It's not love, it's just programmed perseveration.
