What does she mean when she's talking about object-oriented behavior? I know object-oriented programming as in the computer science stuff, but a lot of the points she's making refers to subjects that are less in the 'hard' sciences and more in the social sciences, which I'm not really all that well versed in.

I'm not certain what she means by object, but I think it's the opposite of animate which I think refers to people/animal like. A dump truck is an object. A doll is animate. Thomas the Tank Engine is a confusing mix of the two.

Clearly you never made up a name and personality for your bicycle when you were a child.

Oh it had a personality (Thorn Crusher), but I couldn't come up with a name. Bicycle genders are so hard to figure out and I, at the time, knew nothing about non-binary genders. MarmotHead (talk) 17:11, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
