   Or even worse... Quarantined for thousands of years... Just your thoughts to pass you by.
   
   Now that is some next level terrifying shit.

   That should scare anybody.

   And then there's just uploading our brains into some kind of cyberspace...
   
   But to be honest, when it gets that far, it starts to creep me out a bit.

   Originally posted by Ghost Fuck robots, in the future technology will be so advanced that you can do surgery on yourself.

   
   I see your DIY surgery, and raise you with DIY gene editing that will result in bodies that don't even need surgery (well, except for physical trauma... but one wouldn't really be able to do surgery on themselves after being shot a few times, or after a serious car wreck, anyway).

   Originally posted by Technologist They do have robotic surgery. It’s ideal because the incisions are so small, enabling an easier recovery, etc., etc.. The surgeon manipulates an “arm” with skinny appendages to do the surgery.

   
   Yeah I had heard of that before, they can even do it remotely from another country or even hemisphere, but there's still a human behind the helm.
   
   Perhaps one day AI robotics will be able to do even that.
   
   A lot of people are apprehensive about the idea of their jobs being replaced, but, as long as the means of production, as well as the profits of production, are all spread amongst the people, then it would be an incredibly good thing for everyone.
   
   However, if the means and profits of production remain in the hands of an infinitesimally small minority AND people's jobs are getting replaced... That's just straight up dystopian.

   Technically the job of surgeon shouldn't exist either... But we're a (relatively) long way from robot surgeons.

   Fine. Dishwashers should be paid the same as a surgeon.
   
   Are we okay guis?

   
   Well that's not quite fair, because for one thing, the surgeon had to spend years of time and hard work as well as money for tuition and lost wages to become a surgeon.
   
   Also, the surgeons job is arguably harder and more stressful (a lot on the line).
   
   My point is just that the whole job of dishwasher shouldn't exist.

   Is this an offer available to anyone? Like, can other people sign up to do this anywhere?

    You could sell them. There are gift card trading and selling sites out there, but you'd lose like 10%.
    
    But you'd still net a few hundred bucks for a few hours of "just driving around".

    Honestly, I'd do it on occasion if I was allowed to choose which days I work, and depending on precisely how illegal the job is (clearly it's something illegal).

    Originally posted by Needledick Needledick Needledick I heard just drunk driving gets you banned from entering canada or something. I just figure getting turned away at the border crossing would still be a fun mini-adventure.

    
    How far from the border do you live? If you're in one of the northern states, I'd say go for it. If you live in like L.A. or Florida or something, then it might not necessarily be worth the trip just to find out.
    
    Still though, the adventure of a road trip is half the fun.

    Originally posted by Daddyissues Forgive me zook, but I dont understand your thought process here. Maybe I'm not following the direction of this conversation.

    
    I've recently drank the technocommunism Kool aid.
    
    I'm thoroughly convinced that, within the next generation or so, we can eliminate the need for work altogether by automating absolutely everything by distributing the means of production amongst the people.
    
    And jobs like dishwasher (as well as pretty much any minimum wage job) should be the first to go. The types of folks who were once destined to be dishwashers for life will thus be able to pursue other passions without having having to worry about rent, bills, etc.

    Where abouts do you live?
    
    If you're near the West Coast, hit up the general Vancouver area (but don't limit yourself to Vancouver itself... Surrounding areas are actually better IMO).

    Originally posted by whoami There is no vacation within this plane of existence. No matter what you do or where you go, your emotional trauma, physical ailments and existential dread cling to you like shit on a shoe. The only true vacation is the cathartic act of suicide.

    
    Brutal. That reminded me of those goth kids on South Park.
