        Amazon can’t even succeed when they buy an existing robot company, let alone build their own in-house. It’ll be a long, slow fall, but hard, and someone will eat their lunch when it comes to automated labor.

      wait what? are they actually having trouble hiring now?

    • Yeah, I don’t really find it that funny.

      I mean, I have no idea who made it. I think it’s entirely possible they did this just as a bit of fun.

      But it runs entirely too close to “ironic” 4chan “Hitler was good actually” posting.

      There isn’t really anything grounding it in the realm of parody, of insincerity, and so it’s kind of indistinguishable from what someone who actually likes this abuse fantasy would do.

      The point is, I had an argument about literally this very subject with someone 2 or 3 weeks ago, and this is extremely vindicating.

      Not to say the game can’t be fun. I believe people when they say they have a good time. It’s not like you have to do this.

        I don’t think there’s actually anything wrong with indulging in a fantasy of abuse (so long as all participants are sane consenting adults, that is), I just find it creepy on a personal level.

        • Well, sure.

          It really depends on the kind of engagement the game is getting.

          I don’t expect most people have any real problems, this even is probably ironic, but it does raise an eyebrow.

      Because it probably didn’t work. Probably cried about not having food, shelter or anything at all.
