It's so collective, as if as one, comfortable in our ability to conquer the universe.
We only say we to distinguish between us and them.
To infinity, and beyond!

The scene where he pulls all the computer's memories is so sad...
Guildedagain,
Yeah.
When the movie was on television recently, and that scene came on, our smart phones and smart oven went on the fritz for a couple of hours, so I guess it bothered them a lot.
Me? Being the Luddite I am, not so much.

Oh how I love this "We are... thing" - I remember when in MN there was a day w 27 inches of snow -some radio stations were shouting "WE DID THE RECORD!" - in my humble opinion WE were on the receiving side 😂
Yes. And how about folks who when their college sports team wins go on about how "we" played a great game, really stomped them, etc. I always want to say, "We? I didn't see you out on the field or court!" I guess it's just a need to feel like we belonged to something back in the "good old days."

Uke,
I play hockey and am a goalie.
When the team I am playing for wins, I always say "We won", and when the team loses, I always say "I lost". It all depends on your point of view.

okay I'm trying to stay calm here..... picked up groceries at the store and then came home. I'm dreading the summer heat and I'm in a thermal shirt and it's 73 inside and only 66 outside. So I'll just open some windows..... cool right? NO!! My blinds on my patio slider in my room self destructed and now the morning light will blind me in the morning. I just wish for once I could try to do something normal (like open the windows for fresh air) and not have life come crashing down on me ..... I'm just sooooo pissed right now. Blanket and a staple gun then. JEEZE!!!

I'll be okay one day, I think..... maybe.
