As I slide my finger into the hand grip, a rubber ring clamps down on my knuckle to hold it into place. It’s a gentle reminder that I should be moving as little as possible...
as I watch the tiny brush head trace an almost-perfect outline of my nail before continuing to fill it in with color in a mesmerizing loop, I reluctantly admit to myself that this is, almost certainly, the future.
For starters, a robot painting your nails is fast and cheap. The shellacking of a deep maroon cost me $8 and was done within 10 minutes. Plus, you don’t need cash to tip a robot.

>>The future is human slaves giving roboticures to their robot masters ...
Robots have to be maintained and repaired.
THAT is the job that will remain and there IS no tip for it.
How many pizzas does a robot buy?

Medical mishap are one of the leading causes of death in America.
Is that Toobin’s sex-bot?
“Some men like to chat with their Barber.”
What’s a Barber?

Robots don’t have money. Nobody pays them. They are slave labor.
“Robots don’t have money. Nobody pays them.”
Not yet, anyway.

The money goes to the robot’s owner. He rents it to you and charges by the service.
That day is much closer than you know.
More than one half of the sports and business news you read is already written by software bots.
Almost every week at Free Republic I read comments that criticize the writing in a posted article.
More often than not, the errors were not made by humans!
The old timers with horses resisted the automobile when it first came out too. So you are not alone in your thinking, it’s human to sometimes be afraid of change.
But imbrace the future and stop romanticizing a past the never truly existed.
Someone (make or female) who cuts but does not style nor color hair.
A barber may also beard trims and shaves.
If it’s an Asian barber you might even get a scalp and neck massage.
Fair warning, If you go once, you might become a convert.
—”Suddenly imagining tens of thousands of unemployed Vietnamese ladies...”
Just in the Chicago area!
That said, I believe you will find them a very industrious group and on the move for a new niche.
—”But the robot will not listen as you pour out your tale of woe or happiness.”
The robot can easily be made to listen but programming it to hear and respond... they will have to charge extra to cover the costs.
—A barber with Bluetooth earphones!!!
NO WAY JOSE!!!
My old barber of many years retires, so I go to the young guy that now watches TV, the old one only had it on if requested.
The next day I get on the elevator and the young kid behind me starts chortling uncontrollably???
Off the elevator, he asks if I cut my own hair?
Because it is running at a 22-degree angle across the back of my head!!!
Distracted workers; a bad idea.
—”Between 2000 and 2013, a total of 144 deaths,”
Only ten each year.
Not to worry!
In 2020 there were 17 direct lightning fatalities, compared with 20 in 2019, according to the National Weather Service. From 2010 to 2019 on average, 26 people died each year from lightning strikes in the United States.
Well they kinda are someone wrote that program to write those stories so yes they were
I love my barber shop sometimes i go in and sit in an empty chair and watch sports and BS with Dan and Marta the ac works great there too and leave without getting a hair cut
That kid on the elevator had bad manners. Luckily, you took it in the light, silly spirit he meant it.
Not a big deal. Sometimes, we need a stranger to tell us what a friend won’t.
