also for all THESE reasons: https://stop.zona-m.net/tag/email

"new tasks [must be] created where labor has an advantage over #automation"

Problem is, WHY? Why would rational human beings want that, instead of what Dante Alighieri explained seven centuries ago?

America: I feel I'm boldly going where no country has gone before

Italy: hold my Berlusconization

Not the SAME situation or worldwide impact, of course. But sorry, couldn't resist

If you DO check their URLs, the articles in this part of CNN's home page are listed newest to oldest, which is OK.

@rpardee I think so, but what that would have to do with the point of my post? Not sure I see any link

This is THE creepiest, most depressing thing I've seen online this month. In general, not just about #dating or #marriage
