What white male privilege looks like - "84 percent of suicide victims are white, and roughly 77 percent are men."

The Syndergaard/Collins/Hallion clip is the most dramatic piece of video from the last ten years. I can't watch it all the way through without literally weeping in admiration of everyone involved.

This is a very happy puppy.

Darth: They aren't the only ones.

The funny thing is, though, none of this is really new. Everyone seems to have forgotten about the automat.

They aren't the only ones.

What I find amusing is that not only does it eliminate one or more positions, but it also tends to induce the customer to add other options to their order.

Money making options. Of course, now that you can order from the vendor's smart phone app as well as pay for it, means you can order 5 minutes out and by the time you arrive it'll be ready. Give you a QR code on your phone, go to a pickup kiosk and scan the QR code and out comes your order.

Amount of time actually dealing with people: 0. I like.

This guy is arguing that the minimum wage is not to blame for the rising tide of automation. And he may have a point.

FBI Officials’ Anti-Trump Text Was Missing From Earlier Document Productions

http://dailycaller.com/2018/06/14/fbi-officials-anti-trump-text-missing-earlier-doc/

IG found that on numerous occasions, COMEY used a personal GMail account to conduct official FBI business, according to source briefed on the report.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/06/14/fbi-agent-strzok-texted-well-stop-trump-from-becoming-president-ig-report-reveals.html

IG report says it did not have confidence that Strozk was able to balance the Russia investigation and the Clinton investigation "free from bias."

FBI Sat On Weiner -

"Agents involved in the Clinton Foundation investigation were instructed to take no overt investigative steps prior to the election."

https://twitter.com/Techno_Fog/status/1007326359734009856

IG found that Comey was interested in "protecting the legitimacy of a Clinton presidency"

https://twitter.com/Techno_Fog/status/1007326736558710784

The IG "identified a number of instances where FBI employees regularly spoke with members of the media and received a number of free perks from journalists including meals and tickets to various events."

And he may have a point.

True, but I would recommend embracing the power and. Let's see:

better customer satisfaction and
lower employment costs and
customers may gravitate towards more expensive options

What's not to like? yes, there will be a startup and replacement costs, but you're getting rid of a training cost, and your kiosk/smart app is not nearly as likely to lip off to your customers.

Well, not until the AI comes into play. Oh, you want fries with that? that's a shock, chubby.

FBI Employee: "Trump’s supporters are all poor to middle class, uneducated, lazy POS that think he will magically grant them jobs for doing nothing. They probably didn’t watch the debates, aren’t fully educated on his policies, and are stupidly wrapped up in his unmerited enthusiasm"

Yikes, I'd rather nurse on penises for campaign funds than to do this:

Guy applies prestigious $50K-a-year music scholarship. Girlfriend didn't want her boyfriend to move away. Girlfriend deletes his acceptance email, creates a fake email pretending to be him and REFUSES THE OFFER. Guy finds out two years later.

Or steal from the cash register.

Sixclaws, just so you know, there are stories of parents doing the same things to their CHILDREN. I know of one personally, but I'd heard of those stories previously.

Just goes to show that there's more than one type of respect - and parents have to EARN the most precious type of respect. Parents like that don't deserve it.

Here's a sad story from Ann Landers, in 1989:
