>facebook is mostly a teen phenomenon

No, teens have probably moved on to something else when facebook became dominated by relatives.

Or, would you say... "I find your lack of fragmentation... disturbing."

"No disassemble Johnny Five!"

Being served diet soda has never been so frightening before.

Robots: conquering the human race... with diet soda.

It has nothing to do with being an alcoholic. The law is about someone who visibly appears drunk. And the bar can be held liable.

Which I think is bullshit, it isn't the bar's fault, especially considering how many people can look perfectly normal but be too drunk to drive. But that is probably just a part of PA desperately clinging to Prohibition.

Commenting on a forum is a lazy-ass way of communicating. You should hand write and deliver your message to each person that wants to read it.

Agreed, I also believe a professional bartender serving at a private party does not have these rules either.

Either way we are years away from a completely automated robot serving in a public location without human supervision.

Currently we are more likely to end up with this.

My guess is that mainstream tv scifi works on cycles. We have been in a down cycle for 5 or 6 years, in a few years it will make a return.

Unless Fox cancels it.

Fox's cancelled Almost Human did the same from the cop's point of view. Very Asimov.

It was decent, but I knew it was doomed from the start due to Fox. Came for Karl Urban but stayed for Michael Ealy. The rest of the supporting cast was effectively flat, though.

In my state bartenders are legally obligated to not serve "visibly drunk" patrons. Though only the nicer bars actually follow this rule, and it is more in place so they can easily boot out unruly drunks or bar entry for people that are already wasted before they show up.

A robot bartender in a commercial environment would either need to be able to follow all the same rules or be operated by someone that does.

The question is... If you are in your own home, does the robot count as a bartender, or is it an appliance? My guess is the latter, the responsibility belongs to the operator.

Though it would be amusing to see the door to the refrigerator refuse to open for a drunk person.
"I'm sorry Dave, I think you have already had enough to drink."
"Hey buddy, can you come in to my house and open my fridge for me?"

I am not a minority in any way, but I would think actual minorities should be annoyed by the use of this.

But perhaps just pointing and laughing is the best response.

He also missed the obvious bath salts connection in the last line.

Better: Shitlord toilet paper.

Ahh yes, crying racism is the new solid defense against anti-batshit/religious/woo claims.

I don't know who this asshole is, but I am willing to bet he is a white christian, which makes the claim even more hilarious.

AC tries using a ball bearing on a tank, it has no effect.
