Somebody explain the Trump Mamdani Bromance

Yeah I didn't realize speech to text gave me the wrong word. It has been doing that more lately. 

Everybody, especially various "sources" on the interblab, attributes this saying to the Godfather character. That may be the first time those exact words were used, but the idea and the sentiment are much, much older. The idea is expressed in the works of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, the Greek playwright Aeschalus (sp?), and the book of Proverbs. I think it's also in Mein Kampf, but I don't want to look that up.

If that's what Mamdami is doing--getting close to the Turd, flattering him, making nice with him, offering him oral sex--more power to him for finding an antidote to the fat-assed disease who is ravaging our nation.

Because I'm a mediocre typist at best, I keep investigating those various apps that supposedly can transcribe speech. I remember the first one that was widely available, it was called Dragon something. It was expensive, and...it didn't work. At all.

But in the twenty-odd years since then, no one has come up with any kind of software that can do that. It would be so useful and so valuable, I'm amazed that there hasn't been a small army of programmers trying to create it.

Maybe that's a testament to the complexity of the English language?

The built-in app on my Android phone used to do a pretty decent job, but the newer version is worse than the old one. Usually when I post on here it is with my phone. 

I have a Motorola phone, which I call a "crippled Android" because it uses the Android operating system but leaves out many useful functions. There is an autocorrect feature for text that is almost comically bad. If there's a voice equivalent, I can only imagine what nonsense will be typed in when I speak.

I have autocorrect disabled but spell checker on. If it thinks I misspelled a word I get a squiggly red line under it. 

When I texted my cat sitter the time she should give his insulin injection, you can guess that it turned "shot" into "s***."  Sometimes those autocorrects make ya chuckle, sometimes not!  I've had to program myself to look for those things before hitting send.

There used to be a whole website dedicated to autocorrect blunders. I don't think it exists anymore

It might have been corrected.    I kid, I kid. 

In the QoD comment boxes, you can't see the whole thing and you can't scroll back. The screen won't expand or contract. It might be this CrudPhone I'm using, but I remember having this problem on my laptop, too.

It does do the red underline thing, but about 10% of the time, it's simply incorrect. 

I blame the lack of basic English software tools (that work) on the pretty much complete shutdown of the teaching of English in the last several decades. Everyone's a video game designer and nobody knows spelling or grammar.
