Amazon worker, trapped by automated robot shelves for 15 minutes.

If he wasn't fired for recording inside Amazon he was probably shafted or given some menial or degrading task when his algorithms interpreted him as being off-task. Amazon doesn't particularly look fondly of anything which can be used against them in the court of law.

Leaded petrol may have lowered the IQ of over half the US population

Sometimes I wonder.

And:




After people suggested the obvious (that maybe Kyle Rittenhouse should help the Ukrainians:

Why are people denying these are real images proving Kyle Rittenhouse returned to Kenosha with a gun after having his ass pummeled for being a degenerate ESFJ. These are social media account images from his mother. His "best friend" is in the images in those videos, and he is clearly wearing the same outfits that would be far too "coincidental" for it not to be him. People claiming Kyle should add me to his list of lawsuits need to get a reality check (I've had an idiot Attorney from Michigan insist that these are fake, and I would sue them to the ground.)

Proof that religious people are the biggest bullshit artists:

And I had to actually argue with the person that shared it, citing all the times people like this must be vying for beef jerky handjobs from prison.

Does today's American milk not go sour? Does it just get nasty tasting? I experienced nasty milk taste from an ultrapasturized organic milk in cardboard and a regular pasturized milk in plastic. I'm not buying milk at that location anymore because I suspect a refrigeration issue, even though their refrigerators feel cold.

Red ink doesn't last in the light. Someone told me this 35 years ago and it's still true.

My forties so far: doing tiresome stuff to be less tired (I also have a hangover from eating starburst)

Pigeons could topple bricks that are leaning against the wall. I had to clean bird poop, unclog a drain, and block an opening better that pigeons were using for shelter.

I wrote this as SomeInternetBloke
If imitation is a pedagogical psyop offering reconstructions of stuff and things said, sort of a knowledge corrective, is it still sincere flattery? :popcorn:

edit: That is to say, what's your protocol for inserting correctives discretely aimed at others in online dialogue?
Should that be a thing?
Then Andrew Garfield in the new Spiderman movie ripped it off. Then Ryan Reynolds did too in his Adam Project. If I had a check for every uncredited idea I'd have healthier self-esteem. But I suppose it's credit enough to have participated in the entertainment writer's idea-o-sphere.

:cheers:

P.S. I dunno if I'm insulted, or flattered? :nod:

For some time I was open-minded to the narrative that events happened because the US governments are evil and had agendas to kill people even when they were innocent (or under Stockholm syndrome.)

"Putin did nothing wrong!" (why does that sound familiar? I'm not referring to "Q anon") Putin is more evil than Hitler (he just hadn't had the chance to nuke the world as he sets it afire.)



Only Putin would have authorized to bomb a theater housing civilians (with the word "children" in Russian outside the front of the building) as he incinerated just the other day, as well as around 2004 with Beslan he authorized to have them use explosive weapons which made the David Koresh compound assault look like child's play, and brought increased grip of power over the 'Diplomatic elections" using the very Hegelian dialectic and fraud he falsely spun in our US news agencies (thus sowing the fake news he despises so much in his own government.)

And David Koresh was just an "innocent man" who didn't prepare his "non-molested" followers with bulletproof vests and weapons to bring about the eschaton while singing about a crazy man in Waco, TX (seems too coincidental not to be a reference to himself?)
