Non-wankers, in fact.

Dems and Republicans are identical parties on economic policy (note I said economic, not all policies).

Patently untrue.

I mean, I get what you're trying to say. That both parties serve the interests of the rich few over the majority. But it's just false that they are identical parties on economic policy.

Isn't this Castro the same guy who keeps suing to block Trump from getting on the ballot? He's nothing but a clown doing this for attention. These aren't serious lawsuits, and if anything they end up hurting the cause more than anything, by making a mockery of the situation and making it harder for legitimate complaints to get the attention they deserve.

There’s no new jobs for horses after the combustion engine was invented to do physical labor

Bingo. And this time we're the horses.

I doubt that stores will only have one employee

It's already here, my dude. Not every store, but some are doing this now. It's just a question of how fast it will spread.

IT guy here, I am not that worried about AI

That's pretty much because you're an IT guy. You're in an industry that AI won't replace any time soon.

If you were a cashier, or a stock clerk, or a busboy, you should be terrified by AI. The speed at which those jobs are already vanishing is astounding. The other day I was at a restaurant, and I never interacted with a human. The ordering was done by touch panel at my table, the food was delivered to the table by a robot and I paid at an automated terminal. I don't know how many staff were on duty but it had to be a fraction of what it would have been a decade ago. I bought clothes last week and there was one employee in the store, overseeing the self-checkout lanes (but really just sitting idly by in case anyone had issues). I read an article yesterday about how robots are now being distributed to convenience stores that can clean, stock, and reorder items, so these shops will pretty soon have only one employee in them.

The gimmicky shit that your browser AI and chatbots can do is nothing compared to how this is already revolutionizing the world.

The author wasn't making a logical argument, so there's no need to address his "logic."

He's a tourist who spent some time in a foreign country, and came to some very sweeping, rash conclusions about an entire country's culture. It's shallow, judgmental, and tragically commonplace among self-centered tourists who think they can understand an entire culture after 2 weeks living in a hotel on someone else's dime. I am so done with the "white dude waxes philosophical about Asian country" trope.

It's going to be weird not seeing his face on every police box in the country anymore.

THAC0 is just subtraction instead of addition. I'll never understand the hate it got.
I have no problem with ascending armor classes and attack bonus. The math is the same. It's easy and intuitive. But if you're having issues subtracting whole numbers less than 20, you've got a problem bigger than the wrong game system.

Crybaby right wing Karens boycotting airlines is like the best news ever.

Airlines could use this as a marketing point. "Fly Such-and-such Airlines, we're boycotted by Nazis!"
