That's something that always crosses my mind when people love both open borders and automation. It can easily be argued that they prevent technological development because why bother making a machine when you can get some dude from Mexico to do it?
It's debatable how major of a factor it was but one example off the top of my head is the ancient Greeks were close to figuring out how steam engines work. The tech just never went anywhere besides being a novelty item because there was no push for it.
This just marks how messed up Bob's values are. If you're upset about a death in the family, would you really care about a screening for your job, important or not? He could have just said 'feeling miserable, death in the family has ruined my week and halloween', and even though he'd come across as self-involved, he'd at least seem genuine in his grief. Lumping the death of a family member in with a cold and not getting to see an advanced showing for a film really highlights how much of a sociopath he is because he seems to think those are all equatable events in ruining his life.
Well as a fully accredited and licensed Brooklyn plumber, Mario would set the shut off valve to off, then replace the problem fitting. Or snake the drain
I really hope this plumbing "emergency" has Bob shitting in a series of alleys and convenience stores

What I was told in history class was that it was slavery, specifically, that meant that there was no real reason to develop steam technology any further. In other words, cheap labor. Like Bob wants to flood the US with. I'm fine with fewer robots, but I'm not the one who is pushing for open borders like a moron.
I mean, the death of a loved one is completely comparable to dealing with traffic or having to wait for a handyman to show up. This totally isn't a sociopath's attempt at displaying grief but failing because they don't know how non-retarded people perceive things.
I think it's a means to an end really. His want of being in a robot body and living in an oddly retro-styled future seems genuine. He's just dimwitted to know he's describing some odd cyberpunk dystopia that's unlikely to play out especially in his lifetime.
Yeah, I take it back.
He wants to live in a communist Star Trek space future where no one has to work so he isn't a failure and there aren't any racist white people.
You mean they’re being told to do their jobs and stick to their assigned beat?? Oh Jesus, the horror! Management sold ads to pay these worthless, bottom feeding gossip chuds? Call the police!
Do I need to point out how Bob taking up the cry of obsolete journalists wailing about "muh jerbs" is the absolute nadir of hypocrisy that we all know to expect from Blobby Boi?
No, I don't. But I will anyway, because it's cathartic. Sounds like your peers- and probably you too, soon- will need to evolve, Bob.
I don't really understand how a "post-national" future could ever be a good one. That's just begging for a wannabe tyrant to fuck you in the ass before the system implodes from spreading itself too thin. At least with different nations, you could (theoretically) choose how you want to be fucked.
In his wild turbo virgin autist fantasies Bob thinks a One World Government would be like SHIELD or the Federation.
Deeper down in the more sociopathic and egotistical parts of his mind he probably welcomes the idea of everyone but the 1% living like Proles while Bob Chipman lords over them with Hillary Clinton and Hollywood actors.
You know because he's fucking delusional and he actually believes that he won't be just one more miserable atomized peon in his little dream dystopia.
Well I used to be a fan of Bruce and I think Bob is referencing how Bruce (a guy from white working class background) tends to talk about white working class people in a lot of his songs. I don't know if you could call it romanticism, but Bruce doesn't try to actively demonize the people he sings about and I would imagine that Bob takes offense to that.
There's an alternative explanation that's simultaneously more sympathetic and more delusional: Bob may believe that he's already maximally miserable and atomized (as we've documented exhaustively in this thread, for all of his big talk Bob has very little going for him and isn't good at using what he does have) so he might as well go all-in on trying to immanentize the eschaton.
This is what happens when people who've never had to worry about where their next meal is coming from ([obligatory fat joke]) try to "improve" the world.
The "psychic wound" or slavery won't heal because "you're people" keep opening it back up.
And I love that self own there in the second tweets. 70% of his job is vocal? So those 5 or so minute shit videos is 70% of his job? And let's be generous and say it takes a half hour to shoot, the remaining 30% is what he puts into writing, editing, research and even watching the fucking movie. Then 90% of his whole work day is "online in one way or another". So putting aside reading Wikipedia doing online research, only 10% of his work day includes watching a movie, writing about the movie, filming his fat face talking about the movie, and sloppily editing the whole thing with jump cuts (and can't even bother to color correct). "I Tweet quite a bit" is a fucking understatement.
I saw his little sperging about "hide behind Springsteen's B-sides" and for the absolute life of me I have no idea what he's talking about. Maybe it's because I'm not a fan of Springsteen. Maybe it's because I don't spend the majority of my life in a small room with no ventilation. Any of you fellow Bobbologists able to make heads or tails of this?
I think it has to do with Springsteen being a "working class hero" and the B-sides usually meaning that's where you put the crappy songs, he's saying middle American working class can't/isn't doing the good part of being working class? Plus racism because he's a dumb racist.
Remember, in the superior future unnecessary jobs (manual labour) will be completely obsolete, while "knowledge workers and thinkers" (left-wing journos, tech-bloggers and anyone who works for Marvel/ Disney) will be elevated and empowered as the superior people of intelligence they are! As the superior American of intelligence, Robert Chipman himself pointed out, the bigoted mayonnaise ghouls will try to hold this future back. No Bob painting the troglodytes of middle America as "anti-intellectual, bigoted, superstitious and backwards" is not bigotry but facts! After all, why would Bob "I'm sick of being right" Chipman ever be hypocritical?
But seriously, if "anti-intellectual" and "bigoted" mindsets are what holding America back, Bob would have only himself to blame for the fact that he will never live to see "the space dream" come to life.
The irony is all of that is nothing but fundamentalist talk, Nothing specific about how they will do it, just your run-of-the-mill good vs. evil stuff. A true intellectual above all those dummies believing in an old man in the sky.

I really want to know how he thinks internationalism will work? Does he think places like Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, Uganda, ect. are going to adopt the values that let him be a useless loser and say dumb things on the internet? Wouldn't exporting those values to them be a form or Western Colonization? Does he think those cultures would value ours if they were giving the opportunity? That's a very Western-centric way of thinking.
Fuck the world? If you have an "important screening" why would you schedule a plumber on that day and not plan for Boston traffic. And I bet he was very close to that person that died. Any fucking excuse, Bob.
I mean, how can you be less self aware? The guy who laughs at middle America "pretending" to be worried about their jobs being outsourced, automated, or replaced by slave labor because they are obsolete, crying about the injustice that him and his ilk might lose their jobs. Fuck off. At least the jobs that are being outsourced, automated, or replaced by slave labor are needed to keep society functioning. Nobody is outsourcing, automating, or using slave labor to replace journos and culture critics because they provide zero value. You are the definition of obsolete.
The recent wave of firings at Kotaku, Deadspin and Gizmodo have left Bobby Boy very upset. Bobby boy is very upset that these poor people of intelligence are losing their jobs and loathsome sub-mentals are laughing at them.
"It is deplorable of these troglodytes to laugh at the idea of these "thinkers and knowledge workers" getting fired!". "LMAO automation is going to to rob the obsolete mayonnaise ghouls of their jobs!". It should go without saying that if the employees at these "journalism" outlets where right-leaning, Bob would celebrating and laughing at the idea of them getting fired.
