There is always hope.

I’m going to go with restaurant meals.

Any restaurant that brings in prepared food from a central location frozen/pre-cooked/etc. is terrible.

I’m not a doctor, talk to one.

He killed the market, let a few buddies know he was going to reverse it so they would buy stuff up cheap, then reversed it.

Literally hundreds of billions of dollars in value was just lost/made by various people in this pump and dump(dump and pump?) scheme.

A therapist.

I mean, good for having some staples, but that’s not really planning for a recession. That’s more planning for an extended natural disaster or full on collapse of society.

You’re far better off spending your money on things that will improve your likelihood of staying employed (or getting new employment) through the recession, the price of those staples will be affordable as long as you have any income.

Getting a secondary job in a less-likely to be impacted industry and getting trained up now, or taking specific courses at a local college focused on a secondary skillset will be the most useful.

No. Get help.

The hilarious part of this is that Orson Scott Card is extremely Homo phobic to the point of wanting it to be a crime and jailing people.

He’s one of the hateful groups that would need to be culled under your proposed action.

Publicity, awareness, and political capital which do matter in politics

I’d actually commend them and give them financial advice regarding it’s longevity, it’s a high income job but your income drops as you age so it would be good to put a lot of it away or invest some in a secondary income source for when you transition out. This is also true for many other jobs which are reliant on peak physical function/visuals such as modelling or professional sports

Why do I care about the difference between using your hands to rub someone’s muscles (a massage therapist) and using a different body part to rub a different body part?

There’s nothing special, secret, or wrong about having sex, it’s just a normal everyday human activity. Use appropriate protection and go for it.

Do you work a job? You’re a whore too.

You’re selling your body for money.

The sex aspect is irrelevant, stop being a puritanical religious zealot.

I’d just tell them your family is abusive and you have distanced yourself from them.

You have, right?

We actually have these fairly regularly, usually related to sick kids.

One girl collected like a million and a half dollars in pennies to build a place next to the hospital for families with sick kids to stay at for practically free.

Chronological based on episode airing date, or date depicted in that episode?

The first argument is a non-starter, professions have come and gone for all of human history. Where did all the people who raised and trained horses go when cars came out? Where did all the people go who made buggies and coaches? What about people who lost their jobs to construction equipment like excavators? What about switchboard operators at telephone companies?

The economy will re-organize itself to adapt to the newly available labour. Don’t get me wrong, individuals are going to be absolutely devastated by this, but not replacing someone who’s doing a job that can be automated is no different than having them dig a ditch and fill it back in. It’s never a good idea to hold back technology just to keep jobs around. This path leads to the Amish.

Liability for accidents has already been sorted out for 100% autonomous cars, it’s the vehicle manufacturer’s fault. For most of the current ones on the road, they are modified existing vehicles, so the manufacturer would be said to be the self-driving company (like Waymo) though once the software is built in from the factory it will be on Ford or Nissan or whatever likely in partnership with a software vendor. They may insure themselves, but likely only against catastrophic situations rather than day-to-day accidents.

They are definitely considering cyberattacks.

The benefit to self-driving cars is self-evident though. There’s no argument that they wouldn’t be better than human drivers in theory. Not only for safety, but for traffic, parking, cost, etc.

The only thing holding them back a this point is refinement. They have already proven that in at least three cities, they are mile for mile safer than human driven vehicles.

Waymo has gone from 1 city, to 3, to now pushing out to 11 in a few years. I wouldn’t be surprised if it doubled 5 times again in the next 10 years. That would put it in just under 200 cities by 2035.

The first iPhone only sold a million units in the first year, but two years later there were 25 million iPhones and they hit the 200 million mark by year 5.

Your example about Netflix proved my point. Naysayers said it wouldn’t work, but they are now the leader.

I’m happy to wait and see, I fully expect them to arrive in my city in the next decade.

You’ve cast double on my links, but you’re clearly too young to actually remember these things happening. I’m not. I do remember lots of people laughing and dismissing all three as never going to be for normal consumers (I’m not old enough to remember them laughing at cars)

You’re also clearly not paying attention to this industry if you think Tesla is a leader. You’ve only caught what made the news in the UK.

Waymo is far and away the leader, having hundreds of cars driving around daily with nobody behind the steering wheel.

Mobileye(NA and Europe) and Baidu(China) are also actively driving around without drivers in certain places.

The only place Tesla has them fully autonomous is in the factory as far as I know.
