I found it very telling that HBO re-wrote the entire Butlerian jihad because the robots were evil, rather than the actual point where using machines to replace humans was wicked and evil

Yes, and that movement is fascism as they punish minorities

Have you ever actually worked in a factory? Things are way less automated than you would believe. I worked at a plastic injection molding company 5 years ago and we had exactly one press that would automatically apply stickers to the product once it came out, and it would break down constantly. Another factory i was hand sealing fiberglass sheets together for use in washing machines. Or when i worked at a tire factory, i was weighing out curing chemicals by hand into a scale, monitoring rubber coming out, and even handcutting rubber to recycle. The inly factories that have heavy automation are brand new, because management takes one look at the eyewatering price to repair automated equipment and find that it’s cheaper to oay someone $20/ hour to do it by hand.

I recently started as a graphic designer despite knowing absolutely nothing about it, so i am constantly searching how to do stuff in Adobe suite at work. Half the time Google’s AI can’t even keep “Cmnd” and “ctrl” straight, telling me to use’ “cmnd+shift+H” on Windows or “ctrl+shift+H” on Mac’. I don’t even know how it botches that, but it does it about 25% of the time.

But what if the valve was actuated electronically with no manual access?

They’re just mad and stupid and the left did nothing to manage and redirect this toddlerish rage and incompetence, instead we pretended the system was fair and the idiots wouldn’t have power because how could they. Naive and foolish on both sides.

Liberals did all that. The actual leftists have been saying for decades that this was exactly where liberal centrism was going to end up as the Democrats did everything they could to keep funneling money up to the top as well.

Yeah, this is pretty much intend to destroy St. Louis as a city and remove Missouri’s last relevance on the national stage.

It’s just because the way we understand transgender people has changed a lot in the last 50 years. Ultimately the guy accepts Lola for who she is, so I don’t see how that can be considered bad, especially when the band has said for decades that they wrote the song to give trans people perception in the public eye.

“Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.” Letting tthe Republicans shoot themselves in the foot is very different than giving them everything they want on a silver platter.

I didn’t intend it that way. But we are hittinng a precipe as boomers start dying off and a lot of great, but lesser known music will be forgotten about, e en if it canstill bee streamed. Artists like Tony Orlando, Mungo Jerry, Paul Revere and the Raiders, or Johhny Rovers will end up only being known by a niche group of music nerds much like big band and swing artists.

Idk how you can blame the Democrats for a shutdown when Republicans control all three bodies that can avert it

No

I definitely read this as “Fallout-Boy fans” at first and was not prepared to deal with my own age

My small rural town still has it’s own AM/FM radio station that covers the whole county that i absolutely love. It’s a golden oldies station that mostly plays music from the 50’s -70’s. My car is too old to have Bluetooth, and the CD player doesn’t work, so i usually listen to that when i am driving. Beach Boys, Grand Funk Railroad, Gordon Lightfoot, Jackson 5, Cher, Beatles, Rolling Stones, and other artists that topped the Billboard chart 70 years ago that have aince mostly been forgotten.

Literally the only power the courts have ever had is the executive’s decision to abide by it. “John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it.” so even 200 years ago there was never anything actually stopping a president to expand his power. De Tocqueville pretty said the same when he did his deep dive into American politics.

We use to flip the light gray flap all shift in computer lab in middle school. When we got bored with that, we figured out how to pop out the Dell logo and flip it upside down

I started as a graphic designer back in November with absolutely zero experience. It’s crazy being whown how to do stuff in Adobe suite by a 68 year old man

I applied to a very specific group of white men. That’s it

It takes 24-72 hours to confirm if an animal has rabies. That’s just not time that organ donations have.

George Carlin said “It’s called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it” 20 years ago. This is how America has always been, people are only now starting to wake up to that.

So then you were probably already buying steel from US steel or Cleveland cliffs. Most automotive ateel in the US is purchased from those two firms
