It pays to have an electorate that can't think their way past a brand name.

It made me smile when I saw it this morning.

Sounds like another WeWork or Theranos in the making, except we already know the product doesn't do what it promises.

It wasn't that long ago that the US Government acknowledged that UFO's are real and people barely noticed.

So do I, and yes, that could happen.

However, according to the article, it's been around six months now and is having a positive effect.

Realistically, with the robot having been around now almost six months, I'm more willing to consider that the locals have noticed a difference in their experience going shopping. That's more than enough time to notice the kind of changes the locals appear to have experienced since they stopped relying on the police.

If I didn't have friends who need so much financial help, I'd buy it too.

Good. Kick Nintendo in the dick.

That's so cool.

I played the hell out of this game in the 90's, and then again when they re-released it. How fun is it to actually have to sneak into town and complete a stealth mission when your pirate's got a high level of notoriety?

Does kind of look like one, doesn't it?

TBH, I trust a security robot way, way more than I trust the KCPD at this point.

Our police are state-controlled and don't seem to give a damn about locals, and they've shown themselves to be completely inept to stem the stream of burglaries and theft that's occurred in the city over the past year. My own car got ripped off less than a year ago, forcing me to have to replace a window, but that's small potatoes compared to what many others are experiencing.

 

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - A sight previously thought to be science fiction is very real at a southeast Kansas City shopping center. Instead of a police officer, a security robot has been patrolling sidewalks and shoppers are taking notice.

Since Marshall the robot has been on the job, shoppers say the experiences have completely changed when they come to these stores. The robot can spend 23 hours a day monitoring the parking lot from all angles which gives people a new sense of protection and ease they don’t always have when out.

Marshall took over security at Brywood Centre in April. Before that, Karen White noticed a lot of trouble outside the shopping center.

“Sometimes it’d be concerning for your car like someone could take it or something,” White said.

Knowing now that Marshall is always watching, the risk of crime does not worry her or others as much.

“It made it very better, like you can’t be in the parking lot without seeing the robot,” White continued. “So, I think it scared them off.”

It's crap.

You can use udm14.org though.

 

Every show with a suicide now has a disclaimer with a suicide hotline at the beginning. Is there any evidence that these warnings make a positive difference?

 

You have a better chance of snapping a photo of Bigfoot than you have of a voter fraud incident in your jurisdiction, but it infuriates me that the myth of widespread voter fraud persists.

 

The article states that these horrendous, disgusting infractions of health regulations have been documented out for at least the previous year, but given their severity, I'd imagine it's always been this way at Boar's Head production facilities.

I'm going to cook my deli meats from now on, no matter where they come from.

 

I'm sharing this because it's fun, and can be a nice diversion from all the doomscrolling. There are lots of puzzles and random digital knick knacks. Enjoy!

 

FLINT—Eight days after entering the world, Khi’Meir Taylor made another debut — this time in what could be a national spotlight.

Wednesday was the first day of a $55 million experiment to test whether cash payments can protect children from the toxic stress of poverty.

 

At least, she is in her own little world. :)
