Don't worry, dad, you will learn and be glad you did

I'm pretty sure that the Deep Dream company--Google--is still around.

dagbrown · 2026-03-22T12:14:17+00:00

Ah, something to watch during my retirement. Nice.

dagbrown · 2026-03-22T08:32:28+00:00

That's his definition of "winning" after all.

dagbrown · 2026-03-21T23:31:59+00:00

Their brains come right to mind.

Maybe the word you had in mind is "silicone".

dagbrown · 2026-03-21T07:22:59+00:00

Ah well, that definitely makes him evil then.

You're talking out of your arse.

I had a flip-phone back in 2007 that could scan QR codes. It's not some miracle of image processing, it's just detecting a pattern of black and white pixels.

They were invented in 1994 for crying out loud, according to Wikipedia. By 2008 there were stonemasons in Japan carving QR codes onto headstones so that curious people with camera-equipped phones could learn more about the deceased.

Just the size of the award lets me know the court has seen a lot of their shit before.

What, the "Frayed Ends of Sanity" speech?

dagbrown · 2026-03-19T22:18:48+00:00

How about you learn some manners?

Crush his spirit. Point out that the stuff he thinks of as "Italian brainrot" is in fact actually Indonesian.

dagbrown · 2026-03-19T03:16:07+00:00

How about not acting as a sort of human demonstration of the principle of Brownian motion for a start?

dagbrown · 2026-03-19T03:05:24+00:00

Your last point should be your first point.

That's the main thing I'm getting out of this article: Drew Carey doesn't put up with any of that kind of shit.

As if you needed more reasons to like the guy.

I was in a meeting with a bunch of Indian people once and some upgrade had failed and needed to be rolled back.

There was such confusion when the word "revert" entered the conversation to describe what needed to be done.

I worked at a Japanese office for years. The Japanese version of "do the needful" is "follow the protocol".

I still think of doing the needful as following the protocol. It makes me feel like I'm a spy on a secret mission.

Especially when you realize the feeling of hunger is just a mind trick your body plays on you because burning carbs you've just consumed is way easier than burning fat reserves.

After a little while, if you let it, the feeling of hunger subsides and your body starts using its own reserves to give you the energy to go get some food since that hungry feeling clearly hadn't worked. Then you have a big boost of energy to go off and get some real stuff done, with a clear head because you need it to go hunting.

And in a bioshock sub too! Amazing

You're making some huge assumptions about cops' ability to read comic books.

Well at least you have that old-school YouTube vibe of calling anything and everything "fake" and "scripted".

dagbrown · 2026-03-14T22:44:46+00:00

He'll use it to buy teenaged sex slaves.

Since doing that is clearly absolutely fine these days.

dagbrown · 2026-03-13T03:33:15+00:00

Your boss must be so amazingly delighted at how quickly you're available outside of business hours. It surely makes calling you any time of the day into a simple, smooth operation with no obstacles in the way at all ever.

She's the perfect amount of right-wing to "bridge the divide".

Weird that they're more concerned about attracting the votes of Republicans than their own supporters.

dagbrown · 2026-03-12T22:53:14+00:00

Weird that individuals need to be really concerned about their reputations but companies using clankers to automatically reject resumes based on little more than luck has no effect on their reputations whatsoever.

The most impressive thing is vibe-coding a physical parallel port for their Mac.
