https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2019-04/niom-ro042919.php The Netflix show "13 Reasons Why" was associated with a 28.9% increase in suicide rates among U.S. youth ages 10-17 in the month (April 2017) following the shows release, after accounting for ongoing trends in suicide rates, according to a study published today in Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. The findings highlight the necessity of using best practices when portraying suicide in popular entertainment and in the media. The study was conducted by researchers at several universities, hospitals, and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), part of the National Institutes of Health. NIMH also funded the study.

lmao, regular abilify without the spy-chip is only like $900/mo and has a limited time before generics become available. I wonder what reason they could possibly have for making a new version that costs twice as much for literally the exact same medication.

Frankly I'm kind of uncomfortable with the idea of being internally tracked by a for-profit company even as a non-schizophrenic. i feel like the implications for this technology and potential dystopian medication compliance techniques are too obvious to be ignored. though I suppose it is an obvious capitalist solution to the fundamental problem of collapsing support systems that traditionally would have ensured medication was being taken

This is how it has been sold to you. quote:Also, self checkout is quite common in China. There is absolutely no shortage of labor and there is no minimum wage, but store still install self checkout machines. Cost saving is not a primary driver.

and on top of that, self-checkout isn't automation at all u dummy, as has already been covered yr example here is like "imagine taxis, but you have to drive the car yrself"

nah, they have cars parked around cities, you unlock it with an rfid, pay by the hour. It's not exactly a taxi, in that you have to find one and walk to it, but its drat close if your city is dense enough.

zipcar is also owned by avis. so all it is is renting cars from avis except you go to a parking spot theyre renting in a whole foods parking lot or whatever instead of an avis lot

Self checkout is good. But I don't want to spend more time arguing over this. Just don't try to tell me the browsing the Target aisles is also "doing retailers work for them", because I enjoy the physical browsing much more than browsing Amazon.com. By extension I also enjoy ordering McDonald on their giant tabletss. I just like doing that at my own pace than interacting with the cashiers. I think in the future fast food restaurants can hire human to help old people use the tables. BTW when I was in China the banks have way more extensive use of machines. You can use it to open an account. One of the machines my wife used had option to let you pick up a headset to talk to a live rep on a webcam window.

Ngl but "bank tellers" and banks in general are way way down towards the bottom of my hypothetical list of labor to protect I mean I'm pretty aware of automation, I was a certified pharmacy technician for a decade and every year I was told that automation was right around the corner to destroy my job but it turns out it was always cheaper to just pay people Please also understand that I don't think having jobs or that jobs exist at all is a virtuous or moral thing, I welcome automation. I just think that, as with all things, automation under capitalism is bad Automation under communism is actually good because, you know, it doesn't exist at the expense of people to maximize profits

like, the argument of "we did it so as to offer convenience" would be more compelling if it mysteriously didn't mean that suddenly the store was giving its employees a lot fewer hours

Our current social order was built around the paternalistic assumption that most people (and their families) will be entirely supported by their employer in a more straightforward feudalistic system, which is why it's assumed that most more complicated social support should be done through the employer, and many social support programs try to work like corporate subsidies for poverty wages than the state looking after its citizens. This is 100% undercut by the fact that no employers are interested in the idea of paternalism towards their employees, and they try to keep it simply transactional, which'd be understandable if it weren't for the fact that they try to do that while also trying to maintain the image of paternalism politically.
