It's not le wrong generation when it's true.

Robots would be better off in eras where you don't need to be socially adept to excel.

Robots in the middle ages got put into marriages by their parents or stuffed away in monasteries and didn't have to worry about being a total failure.

You didn't have to worry about getting a job, because if you weren't good at anything, you'd just do what you dad did.

One of the more interesting "jobs" for robots back then was cleaning all the piss and shit out of Chad's knight armor, because when Chad was on the battlefield it's not like his suit of armor had a codpiece for easy acess for him to piss or shit out of. He just went ahead and did his business right in his armor, and you would be the one to clean it out and get a beating if it wasn't clean enough.

That's because you're not interesting enough for them.

In the 1920s people would just be like "Quit flappin yer gums, mac! Time for me to get my wiggle on cause you're being a real wet blanket, ya dig?" and walk away.
>>
People have warped views of the past because the overwhelming majority of history is written by people who were well off and had good lives. Because of this, people's idea of the past is rose tinted and they think it was a 'golden age' where everything was good and no one had a bad time, or at least had a better time than they do now.

Sure everyone knows about the Great Depression for example, but it's a broad kind of knowledge; we don't have very many personal accounts of the people it affected the most, just the view from people who had the time and financial support to document it as it happened.

I'm sure if we had something written by a poor or lower class guy in the 1920s he would be experiencing similar problems to a lot of people here. In all honestly he'd probably be facing a lot worse shit than robots as well; things like backbreaking labour, long hours, low pay/no minimum wage, high society women don't pay any attention to him, dies at age 50 etc. etc. etc.

You ignored any substance because it was apparently a normie opinion and I'm a 'dilletante (sp)' then went off about 'poo immigrants' and minorities.

>Well obviously you're much more better than them because you don't own a phone and watch TBB, right?
you understand that this is argumentum ad hominem right?
nowhere in my post is it suggested that im better than them. so i would guess then your reading comprehension is somewhere around the 60iq range.

im just calling out bad behavior.
>omg normies are so stupid with their stupid TV shows, unlike me and my SUPERIOR TASTE, why won't they be my friends those fucking stupid assholes why won't they love me
more ad hominem
as per the typical normie debating style
i think its prime time right now, dont you have some BBT to watch?

if you even read my post i talked about how i was willing to overlook all these things.
so then maybe ~55iq, just judging by your reading comprehension.
