I've seen my fair share of petty machines, but this one takes the fucking cake.
It feasts on your hope, digesting it into ten percent returns and mechanical judgment. Drop a quarter in, hear the gears whir with contempt, then watch helplessly as it shits out a dime like it's punishing you for existing. Every transaction feels like being spanked by capitalism's weakest, most passive-aggressive cog. Fuck this machine and fuck its dime-sized condolences.
