I, Robot.
15
Apparently my folks were just waiting for the right time to break the news to me, but Meh is the good friend that bluntly tells you the truth. I am a robot. I may not have gotten a lucky bag, but I'm happy to know why I'm not like all the other boys and girls.

I hope the captchas will only be for fukus and such.
@neuromancer
If you agree with the following 3 statements, then you may be a robot.
KuoH
Neuromancer may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
Neuromancer must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
Neuromancer must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
@kuoh But what if by harming a human being, it will benefit humanity in general? Something does not compute.
@neuromancer @kuoh So if it kills Hitler, millions are saved? it still violates #1. That is a moral choice, and bots can't do morals
@Pamtha Robots also can't time travel, so it can't know if killing Hitler will save millions or cause further harm to the future of humanity. Neuromancer, report to USR HQ for positronic repathing.
@kuoh @neuromancer That is the hardest law to follow, the Zeroth Law.
Asimov's Zeroth Law
@TimWalter I have calculated a solution.
Practical question, though. What is it that the check box "not a robot" looks for to let you through? Sometimes I am accepted, sometimes I get the image. What does it mean?
@Pamtha It means you're a cyborg and they're not sure which part of you is which.
@Pamtha It looks for a soul, Pamtha. It looks for a soul.
@neuromancer +1000
@neuromancer ^^^^^^^^^^
@Pamtha it looks for "human" activity through mouse movements/timing of other events on the page during your session. The machine learning algorithm still has some imperfections though. Are you sure you're not a robot??
@Pamtha It is simply running a Voigt-Kampff test on you.
@curtise @billymayfield Hey @neuromancer, we must be long lost siblings then. I'd be excited to find you (you must have been lost), but I don't understand emotions, right?
I had the same thing happen to me. I hit the "Oops let's try that again" button about 250 times with the green bar almost making it all the way. I initially thought "meh is just effin' with me" I ended up opening another window and completing the transaction again. Worked the second time.
tl;dr I am not a robot. Sorry
@jimmyd103 so you were able to hit the green button without the robot option checked?
I love purple.
I learned last night that I am not a robot. It was like I was on a paternity test episode of Maury Povich.
@BillLehecka The test results are in, and you... BillLehecka... are... NOT my father! Congratulations.
@neuromancer
I too was defeated by the robot last night, I followed the directions, entered the numbers and somehow did not get a bag. In a way, it's kinda funny, meh created a robot, to stop people from using robots, but in the end, the robot won and I lost.
@somf69 when there's a Fuku, only @unixrab wins.
@somf69 I'm passin' a lot of these out today. Just remember, as long as you tried, you're still a winner!
Same thing happened here as well. I took a video of it too. I noticed this morning that my credit card info and billing address is in the video, so I'm not posting it, but just know that I too made one :P
Great robot minds think alike.
@Collin1000 Pics or it didn't happen!
