Robots took my job of checks notes playing settlers of Catan with you.

I'll never forget watching an interview in the Before Times where a live interviewer asked a Japanese roboticist why Japan is so interested in robotics and that dude deadass looked right in the camera and said "Because we don't want immigrants"
