I'm not sure that's really gonna make the situation better though...

He has a set of shark PJs, and whenever he wears them I sing [his name] shark do do do do do...

And he immediately responds "STOOOOP DAD! PLEASE! I ALREADY TOLD YOU BEFORE!"

And I'll never stop doing it

His uncle took him to see the movie (a real bullet dodged for me).

I saw the honest trailer for it and decided it was exactly as much of the movie as I needed to see.

Wow, you actually managed to find the other song I absolutely hate when he plays!

Our neighbor got him started with undertale and let me tell you... He is not good at it, and man does he get angry when he dies.

But his undertale tantrums are another story, for now let me just express how tired I am of hearing the undertake soundtrack which he plays on loop, especially megalovania!

You know I played that game once, I thought it did some clever things, but never again... That boy has ruined it for me.

I do live for those moments...

That is some damn fine dadding right there. I think this is a perfect plan.

That's annoying, it totally displayed on my side. I think I fixed it now, but kinda ruined my joke...

Ok Doug

I'm reading the Percy Jackson books with my kid right now and I have to say, they're very well written. For kid/teen literature, i'd say there's a lot to like in the series, fun dialogue, characters with a lot of personality a fascinating and magical, yet recognizable fantasy world. I'm certainly enjoying it much more than I did the Harry Potter series.

Also the percy Jackson TV series is great too. The movies are hot trash though, wouldn't recommend them.

I'm going to go out on a limb here, maybe the solution to many of the US's international problems is to simply stop handing out weapons.

Maybe we should just not give guns to every despot, dictator or warlord we meet.

I did say that, because this isn't a pie chart situation, it's a Venn diagram situation.

For instance, AI art is 99% theft and 60% garbage. It's both because there's overlap.

Stolen and bad aren't opposites, why would this be a dichotomy?

Then bring someone tastier than you. That's a tried and true method

Oh, I enjoy lots of great art! But do you think I watch every film? Listen to every band? There's tons of shit out there!

Do you really believe, of all the songs that are written every day, that less than a third are crap? Even Taylor Swift doesn't publish everything she does. Sometimes you work on something for weeks and then end up tossing it in the bin. More often, you work on something for 30 minutes before deciding "I'm gonna start over, try something different". The majority of art is crap, but then you keep the stuff you think works.

And what's that expression, "good artists copy, great artists steal". I mean, that's a bit satirical, but the fact is, everything is derivative to some degree. It's not that there aren't new ideas, it's just that our new ideas are based on older ones. We stand on the shoulders of giants (or at least, on the shoulders of some people who came before us).

All I was really saying, was that the accusation "2 parts copying, 1 part crap", well honestly that's par for the course, that's how humans work. (And we do some great work that way).

Bring bug spray.

Yeah that would probably work

The majors hate CDs as you can rip them and listen to a perfect digital copy as much as you like without generating a cent of streaming revenue

Well it's not really worth fussing about. I mean they can never escape the analogue loophole...

Audio is super easy to copy and there are plenty of ways to do it. Copying will always happen, forever. DRM is just a spectacular waste of time for audio and video.

AI artworks 1/3rd shite and 2/3rds theft.

To be fair, that could be said of most art.

So... Ted voted against his own bill?

Really you don't want hackers using your random Internet appliance as a point of attack to access your whole network.

More IoT devices means a greater attack surface. And it's an appliance you don't actually want to spend time thinking about. You don't want to waste time troubleshooting network issues with your dehumidifier... It just needs to work, or you use a different one.
