Happy to drink wine tho alone. Go figure

Just watching the Tennis today it’s only half as good, crowds no doubt make sport.

There’s more than just one error. And are commas not allowed at news.com.au?

No commas permitted - I believe they remove that key from "journalist's" keyboards

I know it's a line that's often sprouted, "stay in school" - clearly that's not a requirement for the news.com.au social media team:

View attachment 1056943

it's been posted for nearly 4 hours and either no one from the team has noticed, they don't actually realise the error or they just don't care

News organisations are lucky to exist let alone be able to make edits or check spelling/grammar. They soon won't

I was just watching QI - love that show, but weird watching the episodes filmed last March at the start of covid, so no audiences

They were talking about the box on websites "I'm not a robot", and the creepiness behind it - it's not the action of ticking the box which it uses to determine if your a robot or not, but ticking that box gives it permission to then search your recent browsing history & that's how it determines if you're a robot or not

So it looks at things like what have you been doing online such as watching cat videos or reading Twitter etc

If it likes your recent actions then it deems you human and you can pass, but if it's still unsure about you is when it then asks you to check the boxes of traffic lights or pedestrian crossings

Anyone else kinda creeped out by that?
