robosting
A display known as "valeting the car" is popular among self-possessed and prideful automata: in response to a rude gesture or shout, one simply chases down the offending car (given the relative power/weight ratios, this rarely takes longer than a second or two), lifts it out of traffic by its undercarriage, and carefully places it in the nearest unoccupied parking space before vanishing into the night.
this does not usually damage the vehicle, but does rather get the point across.

Catcalling quickly became a thing of the past when humanoid robots became a sizable demographic in cities.
It's one thing to shout at a lone, slow human who won't remember you, but when there's a chance that someone you think is human may actually be a terrifyingly fast and strong machine with a perfect photographic memory, it's a different story.
This understanding was reached quickly after a few extremely short and violent chase incidents made the news.
that weird combination of genderfeels that's like: "i'm girl???" + [definitely not girl] + "why we had to take shower am fire" + "fuck you i'm a girl" + I Do Not Want To Gend Right Now + gonna gend so hard y'all u have no idea + shit what was i thinking about + today i will trans Extra Hard because i Can + random bits of dysphoria for seasoning
Your privacy is *very* important to us.
Not quite as important as us having all your data. But pretty important. On a scale of one to ten, your privacy ranks a solid four.
You can rest assured that - after we've scanned and processed and extracted every last bit of commercial advantage out of your data - the bitter, tarry residue left gumming up the cogs of our machine will be treated in full compliance with the best privacy legislation laundered money can buy.
And that's a promise.

My friends: Did... You carry her all the way here?
Me: Uuuh yeah, you think my girlfriend should fucking have to WALK???
They used wood charcoal, broken pottery, bones, ashes, compost and other materials to create what settlers called "Terra preta." At first whites didn't credit the indigenous people with making this soil. They thought it was volcanos or brought in by river flooding. But it was the people, and they had been doing it since 450 BC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terra_preta
