I have no answer to this, it's quite a scary thought although fortunately it won't happen in my lifetime

About 45% of jobs are in danger of being automated over the next two decades.

Whoah, that's err very sudden. However these estimates should be taken with a grain of salt, analyst's are always over estimating our technological advances.

It's not about advances, it's about availability. Automation comes with technology, which already exists, getting cheaper. In January, English cities will begin trialling driverless cars, Baxter is a robot which can do general purpose tasks like bartending and services, the Aloft hotel chain is trialling robotic butlers and there's a robot which performs surgery.

This, or a significant part of it, will happen in our lifetimes.

Not to sound technocist or whatever the correct term would be, I would never trust a robot to perform surgery on me. Maybe an actual adaptable and learning AI, but never a pre-programmed robot.

A humble bundle pack.

Graymane or Battleborn?

I have the Markus from IKEA. You can get it with either fabric or leather seat/headrest. The back is netted but sturdy, and has cushioned support for the lower back. The armrests are removable. You can adjust the height and back angle, standard stuff.

Fuck IKEA. Their furniture is shit. I know from personal experience.

Some of it definitely is, but not all of it. Case in point: this computer chair.

I've been waiting for I situation where I can use this.

"We can and will outperform your graphical settings, even on a budget. 
 
We have and will continue to have a larger library of games, for less money too. Our specs are better than your specs. 
 
We can swap between our games, media and work at the push of a button, whilst maintaining our progress. We can breathe new life into our boring games for free.
 
We have more options, we have total control of those options, if hardware fails, we replace it, if software fails, we can fix it - if we're not a total f*ck-up, we can prevent these things from happening altogether. 
 
We can optimize, we can adapt, we can upgrade and overcome. There is nothing we cannot rip, no format we cannot play with. We can play your old games with new hardware, and find ways for our old hardware to play newer games. 
 
We will never fall. 
 
We are the elite.
 
We are the PC Master Race and we will never be vanquished."

Check your hair broseph.

Ohh. I cut it though.

Is based Cheat.

We'd see a spike in consumption, and production, of cultural content. There'd be more creative activities going on. People would be less stressed. It's possible to fill your life with activities even if you don't have a job (that is, if it like in this theoretical situation doesn't cause economical problems).

Depends on how it's executed.

There's a joke about a parallel to marriage here, but I'm not going to make it.

Except that when I cum, its in an actual vagina, and not on a wad of toilet paper

The fuck is a vagina?

WE WANT SWAGE!!!! GOD WHAT IS THIS NAZI GERMANY??

We're the 7th Reich.

I go to college and return to this?

I'm better off making porn in class. At least my teacher would get a chuckle out of it.

You want us to post porn?
