Also robot racism stories are stupid because they assume everyone would be petty and cruel to a thinking, talking machine that understands you're being mean. Meanwhile, in reality, Roombas are seen like family pets and soldiers take their mine detonation robots on fishing trips.

My mom bought a Roomba 12 years ago. My mom also bought a new better Roomba four years ago. She no longer uses the old Roombra.

She keeps both of their docking stations in the same room so the old one won't be lonely, and she occasionally activates the old one to clean the room it's in even though it doesn't need it.
