No. I felt sorry for people born yesterday, but I think today’s kids will be OK.

Not sure about tomorrow, though. :P

Need?

This is what came to mind when I read the title:

Seems logical. Glue, gluant, sticky.

I hadn’t expected a dictionary search to come up empty, though.

What is gluant? I couldn’t find it in the dictionary.

We have them where I work. I’ve used the standing function, oh, maybe 2-3 times. Is that enough to count?

I loved it…in the 90s. I haven’t seen it in a while, so I can’t speak to how well it’s aged.

I was going to post to mention “contiguous”, but you beat me to it

The technology isn’t there to accurately assess damage. It’s there to give Hertz an excuse to charge you extra money. It’s working exactly as the ghouls in the C-suite like.

Look, if you didn’t get it last time we told you, you won’t get it this time.

Are you lost? I didn’t talk about hiring practices.

Graceful degradation - pfft.

Progressive enhancement - yeah!

First hit, confusingly, is this:

Further down I see a group of girls – Japanese pop music? That would have been more informative than ‘idols’.

It’s less about technology and more about evading accountability, I’d say. This would be a sort of cyberpunk version of “How dare you accuse the baron’s son of tipping your cows?! He’s a fine upstanding young man, so of course these accusations are groundless.”

I understand most of the individual words in your explanation, but it doesn’t really tell me what the point is. About all I got from it is people writing back and forth to each other, and since you mentioned ‘otaku’, probably a Japanese fandom thing?

I could google for ‘exchange diary otaku’ and maybe find a better explanation, but tbh I’m not that invested.

It makes me super uneasy. I can easily see this type of model being expanded and applied to more and more things.

Call for a refund because something you ordered never showed up? Wrong trust chain, you’re automatically lying, refund denied.

Report someone for T-boning you? Wrong trust chain, you’re now arrested for hitting them.

Etc…

I can’t help but “hear” this as “Ninety eez”.

Ha! Have a stupid upvote :D

Perhaps a hint about which category the OP is in?

.50 cents

Verizon math? Or do you actually mean half a penny?
