there’s an anime about kids growing up in a world where squalor is covered up by enhanced reality goggles that everyone wears. but that was a virtual reality layered over the poverty and decay, not a complete denial of living in a landfill.

https://twitter.com/MothTwiceborn/status/958377475649736704 I think that the word "slave" should only be reserved for involuntary servitude, so I'd suggest the term "meatpuppet", as in "Here at MeatTek we specialize in the research which has been essential for the growth of the meat puppet industry over the past 150 years. We've come a long way since 2018, when all you could control was the two-dimensional representation of a face. Gone are the days when you'd have to travel by train or plane to that business conference. Now you can tunnel through cyberspace and in seconds you have that face-to-face meatspace presence that is so essential to closing a deal with your client, and every second saved is a second you can sell, sell, sell! At MeatTek, we continually strive to ensure that every nerve ending is intuitively under your control." There was a certain comfort in not having to think for yourself for most of the day, but with it came the cage of atrophy of the cerebral cortex. Whereas in the early 21st century humans became maladjusted toward life outside their homes, in the 22nd century humans became maladjustment toward life outside their literal selves. With the environmental collapse, the decay of the education system, and the gruesome prospect of finding food when behind every dumpster lurks the barrel of a gun, it was enough for any meat puppet to not want to wake up. galenanorth has issued a correction as of 07:15 on Oct 22, 2018 |

while i see what you're getting at, not having the check the traps except when you get a notification is pretty convenient. "no-see disposal" is more hosed up if you ask me.

This is someone trying to market an industrial product to consumers which doesn't make much sense. The main use for connected mouse traps is for a pest control service to deploy them at their customer's sites. Then they only have to roll a truck whenever the trap goes off and can keep charging the same monthly fee. Similar business models lead to "smart" dumpsters, waste oil containers, etc.

Having dealt with the occasional mouse here, it is foolish how people think they can do better than the classic Victor mouse traps you can get for fifty cents. Human's best ingenuity comes from inventions for killing things.  For a great example of this, look no further than Alberta, such a hellworld even rats can't live there.  Thanks to an aggressive-as-gently caress campaign where they collectively went "we want rats GONE."

if you use simple mouse traps in a commercial setting as part of a pest control plan someone has to check the trap regularly and reset it. that costs money in a home setting my experience has been that cats are reasonably effective and will let you know when a mouse has been caught. continuously.

mouse, shrew, rat, rabbit, hare. the list goes on - if it looks like a rodent, it dies. i wonder if south-american cats drag home capybaras

I was suggested to xpost this story:quote:I don't know if anyone else has this experience, but my car gets broken into 2-3 times a month with one of those FOB scanners you can get on alibaba. We never leave anything in it, so the worst that happens is they pull everything out of the glove box and go on their way.

Much like putting lacross playing white boys named Jared at the top, the algorithm knows what's up, it's just not trying to hide it like human hiring departments do.

Children's book authors often don't get to choose the illustrator and do not have input on the visuals so it might really be that the illustrator got it while the author didn't
