There’s a pizza place across the street from where I work. They’ve done online ordering for awhile but recently they’ve set up an automated kiosk deal so when you order online, they put your order in what is basically a large, fresh pizza vending machine. You put the code from the online order into the machine and it opens whatever door your order is behind. You take it and leave. Zero human interaction required whatsoever.
There was also a recent X-files episode about the dangers of increased automation. Here’s a clip where Mulder and Scully are in an automated Asian restaurant:
The same episode also featured Scully taking a self driving Uber ride from hell and having her Smart Home go completely haywire on her. All of this apparently triggered by Mulders refusal to leave a good tip at the Asian restaurant.
But the final scene shows them walking to an old style diner filled with actual people, setting their phones down and actually enjoying themselves.
I was born in 1981, I’m part of the both the last pre-Internet generation and the first post-Internet generation. I remember what life was like without the internet and smartphones and while I love how convenient modern technology can be I hate that more and more it eliminates the human interaction all of us need.
I think social can do a great job of connecting someone with the world while not actually connecting them with anybody. Sure you can send messages and videos and whatnot, but it’s not the same as spending time with someone face to face.

Golly, there was a bit of excitement on an otherwise uneventful Monday. Out for mid-afternoon emptying the dog when there was hollering behind me with the word “police” in there. Oh dear. Just as I was turning to look, a young guy about spun me around whooshing past me with a uniform cop hauling ass on foot 15’ or so behind him.
Fortunately, Buddy was near me so I was able to lock his leash (16’ retractable) to keep him from getting involved, which he seriously wanted to do. He saw those guys running hard up to and close to us and so wanted a piece of them. (He’s not an aggressive boy by nature but he’s a dedicated Protector of Mom. Also, don’t fuck with a chihuahua mix.) He was all kinds of leaping and snarling at those guys. Of course, one of those guys was an armed cop so I’m all “Buddy, shut up and chill NOW!” while inwardly thinking Good Dog. Kinda felt like Danerys with her protective Drogo last night. Hey, if he could, Buddy would totally spit fire!

Di Lelio invented “fettuccine al triplo burro” (later named “fettuccine all’Alfredo” or “fettuccine Alfredo”) in 1907 or 1908 in an effort to entice his wife, Ines, to eat after giving birth to their first child Armando. Alfredo added extra butter or “triplo burro” to the fettuccine when mixing it together for her.

Leader of New Mexico armed group denied bail
[…]
When the court reconvened, Assistant U.S. Attorney George Kraehe testified that Hopkins had 11 prior felony convictions and was seen in possession of a holstered firearm as recently as February, when he met with the police chief of Sunland Park, New Mexico, where his group is camped on the border.
Kraehe said Hopkins failed to appear at seven court hearings and escaped from a penal institution during a criminal history, dating back to 1968.
“I believe the government has met its burden of showing he is a flight risk and a danger to the community,” said Molzen, ordering Hopkins to be held in custody until trial.
[…]
The charges relate to weapons the FBI found at Hopkins home in 2017, while investigating reports he was running a militia. They do not relate to any of his group’s conduct at the border.
When agents entered the home they collected nine firearms, ranging from pistols to rifles, which Hopkins, also known as Johnny Horton Jr., illegally possessed as he had at least one prior felony conviction, according to the complaint.

On a certain level, I kind of feel bad for the guy. The guy was a career DOJ lawyer. He was an extern in law school for Mueller (when Mueller was the US Attorney for the District of Massachusetts), then clerked for a federal appellate court judge after law school. And then straight into being a federal prosecutor in 1990. Literally his entire career in the DOJ, even was a judicial nominee by GWB in 2007. And it all comes crashing down because of Trump.

If we had these in the Potato Famine, I wouldn’t be here. I am beyond furious with his disgusting nativism. Give me your tired masses yearning to breath free means nothing to him. He’s a disgrace to the very things that we hold near and dear as Americans. That we are defined as individuals.

It’s a messed up irony and telling of racial privilege that this President, the most closest to immigration than most of his predecessors is the most nativist we’ve ever had.

re: #254 A hollow voice says, Inpeach…
Another reason I asked about Hunter Kelly’s options. But (IANAL) impersonating someone, or using a false name with criminal intent is a crime, and creating false social media accounts surely counts as impersonation.
Only if someone pursues it, and Twitter clearly has “IOKIYAR” codified in its ToS somewhere.

Before his Buttigieg smear, Jacob Wohl had already:
-Become the youngest person banned from futures trading
-Been under federal investigation for faking a similar smear against Robert Mueller
-Faked death threats against himself and reported them to police.— Will Sommer (@willsommer) April 30, 2019
re: #259 Backwoods_Sleuth
That’s because a Massachusetts state judge is accused of helping an undocumented person evade an ICE officer waiting in the courthouse. She and her clerk were arrested on federal charges.
Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey said the indictment was “a radical and politically motivated attack on our state and the independence of our courts” and that the matter could have been handled by the state Commission on Judicial Conduct and the Trial Court.
“It is a bedrock principle of our constitutional system that federal prosecutors should not recklessly interfere with the operation of state courts and their administration of justice,” she said in a statement.
According to a friend of mine in Boston, this case is causing great consternation. For me, it’s giving me flashbacks to when I was studying the Underground Railroad in law school and there were several notable instances when Bostonians took matters into their own hands to keep escaped slaves from notorious slave catchers after the Fugitive Slave Act was passed in 1850.
If you want to see how weird and crazy it can get, just read about the Fugitive Slave Act and its aftermath, then amp it up by 100 for our interconnected world.

I don’t think you need to add a multiplier. The escaped slaves would have either been tortured or killed.

Bullshit Ben and you know it. You’re the guy who fucking played footsie with Milo for years. You continue to see that most violent antisemitism in this country is done by your political allies because you refuse to acknowledge that conservatism is related to the ideology of the far right. Why don’t you stop being a lying jagoff for once and instead of jacking yourself off on The Daily Wife actually do something about the rampant Antisemitism on the right instead of being a concern troll little douche who wrongly conflates Representative Omar’s criticism of Israel with a right wing murderer.
re: #299 mmmirele
Heh. The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, and Massachusetts’ reaction to it, was the first thing I thought of when I read the accounts of the ICE crap they were trying to pull.
Hopefully we’ll have more luck this time…

Well, my brother makes a killer crab mac’n’cheese from scratch. However, he’s not made it for some time (nor ANY mac’n’cheese, even just plain) because of his ongoing issues with pancreatitis. All those carbs in the macaroni are just not good for blood sugar.
re: #300 Belafon
I don’t think you need to add a multiplier. The escaped slaves would have either been tortured or killed.
Actually, they were very valuable property prior to the Emancipation Proclamation. Yes, they would have been treated VERY BADLY, probably whipped and maybe branded, but they wouldn’t be killed. Because (and I read this in Ed Baptist’s book The Half Has Never Been Told, which is an economic history of US slavery) families with slaves tended to mortgage said slaves because much of the land in the South was worth nothing without slaves to work it. This kind of mortgaging was encouraged by the banking situation after Jackson did away with the Second Bank of the United States.
No, they weren’t killing slaves. But punishing them, OH YES.

I love mac ‘n’ cheese, however that video clip shows 2 grown-ass non-disabled adult people putting mac ‘n’ cheese into one another’s mouth. For the love of Christ WHY. My 10-month-old granddaughter can eat her own mac ‘n’ cheese.
You know white right wing Evangelicals love to insist that they’re the most persecuted people in the country? So when’s the last time a right wing evangelical church was explicitly targeted violently? Those fuckers think that having to say Happy Holidays or live in a country that has marriage equality is the same thing that the worshipers yesterday had to deal with or the Tree of Life victims, they can kiss my ass. They don’t know persecution.
Speaking of the Underground Railroad, I think I may have heard somewhere that the tavern my third grandparents ran with their children including my second great grandfather was a stop on the Underground Railroad. I don’t know how true that is. Oh and for Dinesh D’Sousa, third great grandfather and his sons were Democrats. See, this is the narrative the right has wrong about the Civil War and they do this on purpose. They correctly point out that hte Republicans were formed to oppose the spread of slavery. They ignore that there were Anti-Slavery and Anti-Secession Democrats. There were though plenty of Pro-Slavery and Pro-Secession Whigs. Not every Secessionist was a Democrat. In fact, one of Lincoln’s greatest Generals, Winfield Scott Hancock was a Democrat.
