  • Calm down dude, not everyone expressing an opinion is automatically a pedo. I also get enraged to a thought of a child getting hurt, but don’t lose your brain. Like you could have argued that the doll is not where a pedo would stop, it would encourage him to move on, or that a doll like that existing is normalizing pedophilia, but instead you raged out. Censoring exchange of opinion does the opposite of preventing pedophilia. Instead, I’d be interested in a study that would explore whether having dolls/cartoons etc would do anything to decrease the number of child molestation in any meaningful way. If not - I’m on board for banning stuff like this. This argument against banning dolls, though not being particularly strong, does express some logic. Your comment actually does more harm than good by jumping the gun so hard, IMO.



  • No, I agree, I guess my point was - I thought I wouldn’t have to as much, which I guess most people think when buying a robot vacuum or any other robot. Hence the reaction of many people when they see a new robot is - we’re cooked. Yes, in terms of sheer manual, automatable labour, we may be. But not for anything requiring some intelligence. The surprising thing is - turns out a lot of things can be automated and thus useful.


  • I have one of those lidar xiaomi robot vacuums with a mop. It would frequently jam and I would have to make sure to not leave chairs and stuff lying around to be able to make it run. But then new, creative ways of jamming would pop up every now and then. I HATED adapting my house for a stupid robot and used it less and less. When my daughter was born it was all over - forget about it, toys everywhere, I prefer having a dusty house.
