Let’s get you out of the greys there... Good.

Oh, absolutely. It’s just decades away and will be a change far deeper and more profound than those for or against menial roboworkers realize. Basically the argument that “Robots will take our jerbs!” is assuming that somehow, freeing up an absolutely staggering amount of human capital while simultaneously driving…
Not even then. Most advanced robot technology is paid for by the military and thus will be classified for years. Most of the rest is owned by Google or being developed at universities for the military or Google. Neither entity could give two shits about fast food labor problems.
Yeah, there’s this weird idea that the minimum wage being shifted would somehow not result in wages elsewhere moving up, when that’s more or less the entire point.
I love that the right’s response to raising the minimum wage is “Well, well, well, WE’LL JUST REPLACE YOU WITH ROBOTS.”
I don’t know, man, their first response on discovering an animal that wears its dead mother’s skull and cries despondently for her every night is to stuff it in a ball and make it fight other sentient animals. That’s not really one in the whole “gives a crap” column.
Sure, but these people also have direct evidence that the majority of wildlife and even some plants are sentient enough for complex interactions with humans and even can form words. Like, if a chimp said “PIKA!” whoever recorded would be up for a massive pile of awards. So basically at some point, somebody decided the…
Yeah, that tweet kind of got my attention because it implies the Redskins GM has a history of fucking sports reporters.
In all seriousness, I was in Houston and Dallas a few times as a kid and from what I’ve seen, Houston has genuinely improved and made great strides as a metropolis and a credit to the state of Texas.
“...unless there’s a belief the people in question will destroy evidence or need to be arrested for a crime. Contrary to popular belief, life isn’t like an action movie.”
Speaking only from my experience: Wedding vendors flat out lie about prices, or at least lowball as much as humanly possible, to get customers in the door. Then the hard sell starts. My wife and I had an easier and more pleasant time dealing with car salesmen, and I’m including the guy who tried to trap us at the…
The way they usually do it: They call ahead, explain that a warrant has been issued and explain the legal consequences of not opening the door and handing over the contraband, and show up at the appointed time to collect it. That’s usually how something like this comes together unless there’s a belief the people in…
No, by my reasoning, you should treat people who are just dumb differently from actual criminals. I’m actually against the sale of raw milk; I grew up around dairy farms, I know how disgusting and dangerous it is. But it’s not the same thing as the fucking plague, which we both know, so maybe dial it back a little,…
Part of it is people always act like it’s cracking the fucking atom or learning concert cello or something. Literally, millions of dollars have been poured into making things like laundry and changing tires as idiotproof as possible. It’s true they’re always inventing better idiots, but if you made it out of high…
Make him take a financial education class. They exist, and either way he needs to know this shit.
Yup. I actually like Dalton’s take on Bond not least because yes, he respects M. But M is wrong, and even he knows it.
“SERENA WILLIAMS LOOKS LIKE A MAN!”
I grew up around dairy farms. If you’ve ever seen milk straight from the cow, believe me, it really makes you want to give Louis Pasteur an attaboy.
