"so, if we don't ask for a raise you won't replace us with machines?"
"no"

I seem to remember people sincerely making the argument that wages were at a natural point of equilibrium such that the further development of fast food robots was impractical, and therefore as long as we don't touch anything ever it will not be profitable to replace employees with robots and everything will be fine. But raise wages 1 cent and every fast food company will instantly pull the robot lever and minimum wage society will collapse

As though technology and economic forces are not both changing wildly on a day to day basis

Came here to post this. Imagine business genius Musk announcing the production of BurgerBots to prove his point.

After 8 years of intense development, they put them into some burger chain test location. Seventeen employees and customers maimed on the first day.

"Due to an error in their imported Tesla code, the MuskBurgerbots incorrectly assessed that a visiting party of 15 schoolchildren were in fact a delivery of unprocessed meat and got to work"

No he wouldn't. Dave is a proud TERF, and trans people are the top target of his "jokes" these days. He and Elon are very much alike.

Chapelle's Equimanity and the Bird Revelation is the single most repulsive standup performance I've ever had the misfortune of seeing. 15 minutes in he tells a story about a fan who wrote him a letter begging him not to make transphobic jokes because it was genuinely enormously hurtful and distressing to them, and he mocked them to the audience and immediately launched into a barrage of the most unfunny punching down transphobic 'jokes'. Don't know how long he kept it up because that's the point I stopped watching and haven't listened to a single minute of the fucker since, but he showed no signs of stopping and was basically gleeful at the prospect of hurting people via his performance.

i wonder if using time travel to kill Richard Dawkins before he invented the word "mi mi", or Kojima before he learned about "mi mi's"

would have a ripple effect that results in greater good of not having a bunch of broken brain old men think mi mi's are what matter in life.

Yeah that’s really the worst part of the current batch of comedians that spend half of any interview whinging about cancel culture. The majority of their shows and interviews can be summed up as old man whinges about life.

It would be one thing if they were telling offensive transphobic jokes but they’re not even doing that. A lot of Ricky Gervais’ transphobic material literally boils down to “transgender people don’t deserve respect am I right?” to a crowd already receptive to that.

Dave being the Kid Rock of comedy and Dave moving to Ohio are a symbiotic relationship. He was cool when he was from DC, and he either became poo poo when he moved to a vowel-state or he moved there because he became poo poo and I don't know which came first.

Chappelle wouldn't have dunked on Musk because, aside from all the transphobia that others have pointed out already, you can pretty clearly see in the video that Chappelle's pissed off that the crowd didn't explode into rapturous applause for his buddy Musk, which is why he went off on them. He wasn't doing that to be funny, he was legitimately mad.

I mean he's become a total tool, but don't act like "walking away" wasn't totally justified. He was doing a skit where he was in black face, dressed in a straw hat and overalls, talking about how good fried chicken was. Then he realized the only ones laughing were the white crew members and writing staff. He realized who he was didn't matter, just the color of his skin to enable these pricks to jeep telling the same racist jokes they've been doing for years.

So now he's telling the same transphobic jokes for years because he's just as much of an unempathetic bigot.

It's almost like there's some sort of lesson he could have taken away from this experience, instead of just becoming a (very wealthy) bigot himself

Based on who he turned out to be after walking away, I am deeply skeptical of this story of bravery and placing personal pride above fame and fortune. The guy dick-rides one of the most publicly racist white billionaires in existence.
