Pickles by Brian Crane for May 10, 2022

Thank you, Clyde, for ruining it further for Earl.

Autocomplete idiot

… There’s no need to even say it.

He then lost his train of thought!

My computer never knows what I’m going to type next. Is that the fault of my computer, or of me?

When your train of thought is derailed at the station, Earl?

Maybe the idea of a piece of nuts and bolts doing his thinking for him. Also known as Artificial Intelligence.

The first thing I do with a new app, computer, or phone is turn off auto-complete and spell check. Any spelling and grammar errors are my own.

Or, when you surfin’ the web, and your browser wants to take you somewhere. It’s not bad enough, that the content is 90% crap, but someone wants to force me in a certain direction.

What else does he hate? Pickles reruns a few times a week mixed in with new strips?

An interrupter…..me too Earl!

I always shut the predictive typing off if that’s an option.

Having to urinate every 20 minutes..

I detest autospell/correct when texting!!!!!! I just disabled it, I hope. I am still electronically challenged, I must be a “Plugger”. LOL

His train of thought was derailed.

…..when people get up & walk away right in the middle of a conversation..?

Commonly used words and phrases make for faster writing.

My computer never gets it right!

Earl is having a rough day!

the computer does that because I often forget what I am saying.

Oh Earl…everyone knows your thoughts!

That’s the trouble with being predictable.

Poor Earl isn’t as original as he thinks he is.

“What?”

“You!”

Not me.

When I’m at a loss for words, I hit a few keys at random and it produces something as wonderful as this.

(Although it COULD be more humble about it.)

I hate it when the computer finishes typing what I had no intention of saying.

%100 agree. Not hilarious at all.

Careful now Earl, you sound like Pearl with he hateful attitude.
