I'll make you a wager. If Trump "does something about that" which promises amnesty to a pocket of illegal immigrants who are (apparently) necessary for agriculture, leisure or something closely related, you stick a Fell For It Again award onto your profile picture for a little while. If Trump realizes what he's saying is stupid, does not do that and issues an order that goes much harder on illegal immigrants than he has been so far, I'll put my gay furry character in a burger suit. Sound fair?
I don't make bets with welchers.
 
It always BOGGLEd my mind how we have seen the "factories" where shields and masks and supplies are made/gathered in the media, but law enforcement always seemed a step behind. I expect and even demand that we see these networks blown open and I want picture and video of the busts.

If we lived in the best world ou police officers would have the same equipment that the judges use in Judge Dredd
 
I'm always hearing how automation is stealing jobs and AI and is going to destroy the world, why isn't the T-1000 out there picking coffee beans?
Same reason — or at least one of the reasons — why nuclear energy isn't standard (and solar is so heavily pushed).

If a machine/vehicle has a down payment of $100+ thousand dollars, then you'd need to make X-amount of profit per year to pay off the cost of that equipment. You also need to factor in time learning to use the equipment (which requires you to be literate at bare minimum ergo higher barrier for entry than some illegal picking shit with their bare hands) and whether buying the relevant equipment would cut into your ability to actually plant your crop considering how much money you need to spend before making a return.

Again this is the UK, and from a TV show (Clarkson's Farm) so it's not wholly applicable to America's fuckoff huge commercial and corporate farming enterprises, but you have to sink in a lot of cash initially before you can even consider spending it elsewhere.

If we just call the above graph's total profit at 70k GBP, convert it to USD 90k, and then look at some berry harvesters from farmersequipment.com:

To buy the cheapest, a pre-owned harvester made in 2007, you're looking at spending your entire profit and then some to do so.
 
Never accept a hand job from a robot.
I am not afraid, I will stare uncertainty and look into the future, with a hard dong.

The future must be post-human. No more slaves, no more toil. Instead, just jack-off robots and more RBG colors on computer parts. Instead of a lumpy Mexican getting picking a potato out of the earth, I want that chick from the Steller Blade game or whatever to be doing it while naked.
Sounds like you're not confident in the man after all. What's the point of bickering about politics in this place if you can't have any fun with it, anyway?
I'll take the bet, but I want farms off. Hotels, I think, Trump won't stick with. The same goes for restaurants; I think they are going to go with ICE buttfucking line-cooks because all line-cooks can never stay away from drugs or crime. Just PM me when I lose or something
 
Actually, now that I think about it, when robots replace the Mexican crop pickers (And farmers can fuck the robots who will obviously be big titty anime lady) - it would solve a ton of problems. Same with hotel staff, imagine robots making your bed and offering you a hand job instead of having to try to tell the Spanish maid "Uhhh Dinero for eh... Para la hand on el vergas? el' wristo um, shake shake? Muy rapido shake shake!" while stumbling around half-drunk and trying to shove a $40 in her hand.

It's going to be a great future.
it honestly looks more like AI will come after the white collar jobs first before anything involving manual labor

turns out programming a robot to do anything physically complex is actually, really, really hard to get it right, Humans can do manual labor fine, even if we aren't the most efficient and fastest at it, but we can adjust our actions slightly if we made a mistake, we can course correct, if we are a little bit off, we can course correct, if something happens outside of our control, we can course correct, that ability to adjust to a slightly different condition is something you cant really write on code in any practical manner
 
I put a tiny bit more effort into gathering info about the digital only thing. It's actually worse than I thought.

So this shit is also international I just discovered, which means if they have the entire globe, then that 6 million+ figure they touted as possible attendees includes the literal rest of the world.

"This is bigger than politics." = "We don't actually have a goal in mind."

Are they retarded?
Yes.
They just want someone to get shot or something bad to happen. They'll put their people in harm's way if it might hurt Trump.
 
I think this, along with several other posters garbage takes in this thread proves beyond a shadow of a doubt, that even if someone is a quality poster, the frequency of their posts should be taken to imply they're still immensely retarded
Everything goes full retard when the resident groyper posts the AF Post stuff.
I guess a lot lot of people just assume it's real. Ali ACKbar's shit is spammed all over /pol/ like it's gospel by the same couple of fags and they will spend all day and night posting the same Iphone filename images for months.

I was making a point by issuing that dare to one of the most insufferable knob polishers in this thread, but I'll give you a little credit for stepping up when he couldn't.
 
MBS: "The Ayatollah wants to create a project in the Middle East like Hitler. Many countries didn't realize how dangerous Hitler was until it was too late. Saudi Arabia does not want nuclear bombs. But, if Iran developed a nuclear bomb, we will follow suit."

Iran is probably in the wrong here but I still dont want anything to do with this upcoming war, they can bomb each other all they want
 
I went looking for proof that NYC had 180 languages in its school system. While they won't lay out what those 180 156 languages actually are, I found some year-old stats. Locally archiving for a change.
