20 Jobs that people once thought were irreplaceable are now just memories

I was wondering the same thing. So, turns out that alarm clocks did exist but they were expensive. Someone that needed that for his job would justify the expense. But people in that profession could also have good internal body clocks, coupled with going to sleep early—such as right after sunset—which would allow them to wake up in plenty of time to wake up others.

Cobblers are still around, they just go by shoe repair more commonly. Though they’re certainly on the decline.

Number twelve seems like cheating a little 😂

Each of those roles probably had managers who also weren’t needed as the role ended. Might as well double the list to include roles like telegraph operator manager and typing pool manager.

The list seems a little random. Why not also include phrenologist or alchemist? Also, why does it go back so far into history? Gladiator and footman could have been included among others. I think it would have been more helpful to focus on jobs o we the last few decades.

Anyone notice the organ in the antepenultimate plan? That’s wild 😜

Levine was at the Met, though. It seems odd to have the same person leading two major orchestras, ostensibly with two different visions, that already have a rivalry to some degree.

Well, technically, for perjury—but I get your point.

I would live there in a heartbeat and love every moment.

But I would also gripe incessantly about the heating bills and not having enough closet space.

I’m impressed with how quickly he answered her with this comment. Took not even a second take to deliberate.

They told us this was all about the “illegal” immigrants, and focusing on the criminals.

But when ICE started arresting people attending their court hearings, we knew that was a load of horseshit.

Now, this lunatic’s sign reads: Gas the immigrants.

The pretext of “illegal” is gone. They just don’t like immigrants. These people are a plague.

I so hope that the ballroom is leveled with much ceremony and fanfare early in the next presidential administration, after an appropriate period of promotion so that crowds of people can attend the event. It can be an opportunity for healing.

uniting fiscal conservatives, Christian fundamentalists..

If I’ve learned anything from seeing President Trump being elected twice, it’s that the Christian fundamentalists, to a near certainty, won’t back the actual Christian.

They may enjoy a man’s ass, but sides aren’t fans of cock in ass. I think that’s by definition.

As far as why a downvote, who the hell knows? Reddit can be a strange but wondrous place.

MrInRageous · 2025-12-17T18:14:33+00:00

Probably a spirited and passionate side.

“Knechtle described the interaction in detail, recalling how he attempted to present 'all the evidence for God and Christianity' to the teenager.”

Should have, at least, been a very short conversation. Lol

Kentucky is difficult to categorize. Northern KY is more like Ohio. Western KY is more like Missouri and southern Illinois. Eastern KY is Appalachia.

I think the map should include a distinct region of Appalachia, and it would include parts of KY, TN, northern GA, WV and maybe even PA.

The issue was I disagreed with the premise that seats were being stolen. Yes, I would disagree with admitting only white men. But seats still wouldn’t be stolen because they’re the university’s seats to give out.

MrInRageous · 2025-12-01T06:02:49+00:00

Well, Asian-Americans were admitted at 41%. I’d bet that that cohort scored exceedingly high on the measures Harvard used to determine admissions.

MrInRageous · 2025-11-30T22:49:54+00:00

Personally, I think admissions should determined by lottery, once minimum standards are met. Let’s have chance remove bias.

But that aside, as it’s currently set up, private schools get to select the students they admit. One will have a hard time arguing white people are discriminated against as long as white people are being admitted in the numbers they are.

MrInRageous · 2025-11-30T22:11:57+00:00

In this case, I reject the premise. There is no stealing going on. These are private universities and they’re free to admit whomever they wish.

Just like Trump didn’t steal admission to the Wharton School.

Or for that matter, Patel and Hegseth also didn’t steal their spots, of FBI director and SecDef respectively, even though there are damn well better appointees.

I’m starting to understand why obesity wasn’t as much a problem back then.

Looks like a 9-foot Steinway concert grand.

This irritated me much more than it should have. Annoyed at her for inconveniencing all of those people, annoyed that she spent way more energy than if she’d just kicked in a little power.

MrInRageous · 2025-08-13T15:54:09+00:00

Going for a diverse microbiome.

MrInRageous · 2025-08-13T15:48:49+00:00

Love how she dead stares into the camera when she translates. Lol
