Maybe that human opens it up and takes note of other stuff human-servicable that it'd be a shame if got twisted up or went missing I'm not anti-robot but will probably functionally be so until there's a GMI tbh.

Like sure, it doesn't seem short in that sense, I just mean that if you look at boomers now, they still live in their minds that you can still pay for school with a part time job and so on; and yet our generation will see that the next generation will have it just as bad as we do now in terms of how automation squeezes us; my concern is just how bad will it get before serious political will is mustered to ease the transition.

The generation war poo poo is always the dumbest thing. How many boomers do you think had to write huge checks or co sign for huge student loans? It is always a dumb straw man that shows more about how little Millennials understand or think things through than anything else.

yeah he'll probably have no problem fact checking someone if so doing will make him seem like the adult in the room which is to say, if the person he's fact-checking is a democrat

vyelkin posted:Like say Hillary wins, the Dems retake the Senate, and they get rid of the filibuster. Sure they can't pass legislation through the House, but they can confirm justices like there's no tomorrow. They proceed to fill the entire backlog of judicial appointments to lower courts with liberals. RBG retires, Breyer retires, Kennedy retires, Thomas retires, Hillary appoints five liberal Supreme Court justices, and liberals enjoy a 7-2 majority on the Supreme Court for the next two decades. Republicans retake the Senate in 2018 but the damage is already done. This is assuming that the GOP doesn't start mass confirming Obama's picks because they hate him less than they hate Clinton and would fear a Democratic Senate would mean nothing but ultra-liberal picks.

Automated vehicles will be the future, right up until a highly sophisticated hack causes thousands if not millions of vehicles to go haywire and get a lot of people killed.

Kilroy posted:since they're largely responsible for voting in the idiots who drove up tuition costs and hosed up the student loan program in the first place, frankly they're lucky we don't confiscate their assets and throw them in camps, like maybe one where they can think for a while about what they've done - really focus on where they went wrong, you know? Tell me more about how we should target undesirables by demographic, sieze their assets and herd them into "camps".

The difference between German Jews and American old white people is American old white people actually are responsible for most of the dumb poo poo we do, and it isn't even a secret conspiracy.  That said, putting old people into camps wouldn't fix the problem, and since they're all going to be dead and buried in a few years would also be pointlessly spiteful.

Last week he gave a mumbled speech in Mexico then went and gave an offensive speech that caused at least one of his Latino Outreach board members to quit and others to consider doing the same, so... Yes. The media's getting Trump fatigue and OH MY GOD DID YOU HEAR THIS NEW THING ABOUT HILARY'S EMAILS (that turned out to be nothing) WHAT DO WE DOOOOOOOOO?????????????????? Trump's only not in a tailspin because his insanity that would sink anyone else is just normal from him at this point.

I mean you made a post saying "generational stuff is garbage, clearly millennials are stupid." Seems kind of silly to me. That said, I'm not going to make it a generational thing. White people, especially older white people, kind of just suck politically and should stop sucking so much if they don't want us to blame them when they vote for fascism.

Mainly due to the increased racial diversity in the group. https://morningconsult.com/2016/07/21/poll-millennials-go-clinton-trump-cant-buy-older-minority-vote/ Clinton only has a 6 point spread across generations with white folk. Trump only has a 12 point spread. To summarize the article: Trump isn't and old people thing. He is a white people thing. I would bet that if you could get a combination of Race and Age breakdown Trump's support would be almost stable. Xae fucked around with this message at 04:50 on Sep 5, 2016 |

On rare occasions, the old guy afternoon regulars at my work will complain that whites aren't going to be the majority anymore, only a plurality. Usually if they complain about non-white people, it's usually China "taking over the world".

There's nothing about "being a white person" that makes you an rear end in a top hat. Our ancestors have just forced us into a society that was built and designed to foster a notion of superiority among white straight dudes in order to justify why a handful of them had all the money and power. Oh well.

One served in Korea and the other WWII. A third will chime in on rare occasions (also a vet), but their probably the most openly racist one of the bunch (it's two different people, honestly, and both are openly racist as all hell). Oh, and these guys will be openly racist in front of a black coworker of mine. Hushed whispers, sure, but they'll be open about it.

I thought it had shifted to the BRICs - Brazil, Russia, India, China. I love hearing stupid people talk about the impending doom horror of what normal people would simply refer to as a multipolar world, because they can't fathom living in a world where the United States can't just snap its fingers and say "make it so" like it's loving Star Trek.
