Maybe people use it to covertly spike other people's food? These can affect people outside of the target audience.

Great, now I'm asleep.

Whatever bad shit I want to say about Henry Ford, at least he understood the basic idea that people could only spend the amount of money that they have or make. That's one of the things he's famous for is that his factory workers could buy their own Model Ts.

We now live in a stupid reality where the world is controlled by rich people who see others as slaves and who are wanting to keep slave labor in perpetuity, even when the labor doesn't need to exist.

Assume for a moment that AI really was taking all of these types of jobs, which by the way, almost certainly includes CEOs. It would only be a matter of time before robots take those other jobs he's talking about.

A normal human of normal intelligence would see that and conclude that people simply wouldn't have to work anymore. And that therefore, everyone should have their basic necessities taken care of by their governments.

People would be free to do whatever they want, whether it be "humanities" work or creating things or whatever. We're no longer constrained by the fact that our lives depend on our usefulness in jobs to the ruling class.

Only a member of that ruling class would see themselves as indispensable and others as slave labor.

"My son is an uninformed misogynist and has no chance to give me grandchildren. All that time raising him, wasted on a brainless loser. And now, he definitely knows a woman who supports abortion but hasn't had one." - That guy's mom after reading his post, probably.

I suspect it's even simpler than that. If you simply assume that people don't change at all once they grow up, everything can be explained.

People are generally more selfish than we think and people lie more to fit in than we think.

Selfish people like social programs when they are young and might theoretically need help, but don't care about taxes because they earn little.

And they dislike taxes when they are old and have salaries and resources, but don't care about social programs because they don't qualify.

They don't care about politics or political parties because they really only care about themselves. They never really cared.

Others pretend to be left leaning to match their peers when they're young and right leaning to match when they're older. They don't care about politics as much as fitting in.

lame-ass party

Since the time traveler would be from the future, he'd have already known that nobody went to the party.

Seinfeld had an episode about cell phones, though.

I don't remember the exact plot, but I think it was Elaine called somebody about something serious, like expressing condolences for a death or something, and she called from a cell phone while she was out and about, instead of calling from a land line at home. This was seen as a faux pas.

The only way that anybody has gotten rich is by taking undeserved money from other people. There is no way to work hard enough in one lifetime to earn a billion dollars.

Even if you win the lottery, for example, that wouldn't work without all of those gambling addicts losing their money to you.

As a kid, my parents seemed to have friends, but they didn't invite them over ever. They spent all of their spare time at home and only occasionally went on social visits.

As an adult, whenever I talked with my parents, they talked about how often they went to social events and church events and interacted with their neighbors.

It wasn't until they were elderly and I was actively taking care of them that the truth became obvious. Outside of family, my father had very few friends, and my mother had no friends.

Domestic Terrorist Organization Criteria To designate an organization as a domestic terrorist organization, the Chief of Domestic Security must find that:

• The organization is based in or operates in the State of Florida or in the United States.
• The organization is engaging in terrorist activities that either involve illegal acts dangerous to human life, or that are intended to:
• Intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
• Influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion;

I think this technically labels most corporations as domestic terrorist organizations.

"After seeing you enjoy good food as it was intended, I don't think I want to continue this. Everyone knows food must only be eaten after you upload pictures of it to Instagram and get a certain number of interactions."
