Are we worshipping science or not?

Only when it's politically expedient.

No, we worship feelings. Then we bend science to make us feel good. (See the global warming threads for another example.)

I saw that and my first thought was if I were looking to hire, my first impression would be "well, that shows some really poor decision making abilities."
Then I read the article and see he definitely has made some poor decisions, with his criminal past.
Then I think, maybe his background checks are as much a hindrance to employment as his face....

To be fair he is in New Zealand, home of the famous Maori Facial Tattoos of the indigenous people, perhaps it represents the artistic evolution of his cultural heritage?

 

[Ericpwp]

Maybe he can grow a beard.

“The unexpected use of this new technology to contact emergency services has possibly helped save a life,” Bernalillo County Sheriff Manuel Gonzales III told ABC News. “This amazing technology definitely helped save a mother and her child from a very violent situation.”

Great. Call to make installation of such devices mandatory in 5...4...3...2...1...

Middle Aged Couple Attempts Dirty Dancing Lift and Fails Spectacularly

A British couple was practicing the big lift to a song from Dirty Dancing, which they planned to perform at the wedding.

Those plans may have changed.

Anyone that would hire him with the tattooed face won't because of the cultural appropriation. He is truly doomed.

Or that criminal history.

Or that criminal history.

He claims he didn't have a job or a way to provide for his family so he turned to criminal acts.

Goes to prison and gets ridiculous face tattoo.

Gets out of prison and realizes life-ruining tattoo is preventing him from getting a job.

Lather, rinse, repeat. It's a continuous cycle of stupidity.

Don't get a Samsung S8! In order to yse any voice commands on the phone you "must" install Bixby. I have a brand new state of the art phone that does not have voice to text ability because I will not give them 24/7 accsee to everything I say.

BTW Bixby Reqiures permissions for "EVERYTHING".

Work just announced a plan for smartphone user to wave their phone instead of punching in/out at the time clock. No thanks, I'll stick with my flip phone and keep the company out of my phone.
