The only thing more ridiculous than what this note describes, and how much it is causing me issues at [DAY_JOB], is just how god awful the two common workarounds posted online are.
Screenshot of the MDN documentation for the :autofill pseudo-element. Note: The user agent style sheets of many browsers use `!important` in their `:-webkit-autofill` style declarations, maing them non-overridable by webpages without resorting to JavaScript hacks. For example Chrome has the following in its internal stylesheet: CSS: background-color: rgb(232 240 254) !important; background-image: none !important; color: -internal-light-dark(black, white) !Important; This means that you cannot set the `background-color`, `background-image`, or `color` in your own rules.

The first time I've been well and truly tempted by a t-shirt at the end of a Jackbox game:

One year for pride month, I edited my profile picture to actually make the color bars on my mask into pride colors, and had at least one person not realize it wasn't already a pride thing.

Biblically accurate Phoenix Wright.
All the sprites of Phoenix from the Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trilogy overlaid on top of each other at once in a broken fashion. He appears to have eight arms and hands.

The graphics for the Australian Election livestream are almost ready, and I'm still cooking.

Google just literally used my home/location data in a fucking AI response.
A Google search for "planning a mystery murder". The AI overview reads "To plan a murder mystery party in [REDACTED] VIC on March 18, 2025..."

Software Development.
Screenshot of a Slack conversation. Dillon: I almost don't want that to be a solution, because then that will likely make me mad that I'm right. Corvimae: its working LMFAO. Dillon: God fucking damnit.

Possibly the best, condensed representation I've given of myself creatively:
A Discord screenshot from me, Dillon. It reads: All of my best ideas have an element of bleakness to them. Not sure what that says about me. *jaunty whistling*

I needed a way to quickly distinguish my normal business account from the account for specific GDQ stuff, and this is how you know I'm simply hilarious.
Screenshot of a Google "Choose an account" page. It shows two accounts. Both are named "Dillon Pentz", and they have the same profile picture, but the one labelled "GDQ" is upside down, while "Business" is right way up.

I sometimes feel there are searches that only someone writing something would ever need to make, and this is now one of mine

I had to do a double take, because I've been playing my music on shuffle, and...

Happy "Almost Christmas" to those who celebrate.

I love how 3 years after I posted joking logo mashups on Twitter, AI slop is inadvertently mashing them up in exactly the same way.
Screenshot of a tweet from Dec 24, 2021. The text simply reads "cursed.", with an attached image that mashes up the logos of major streaming platforms. The YouTube logo is changed to read Twitch, with the play button changed to Twitch's "Glitch" mark. The Twitch logo is changed to read "Facebook". The Facebook Live logo is changed to have a 'y' in place of the 'f' icon, and 'tube' in place of the 'live' text. Screenshot from the TechCrunch article, showing the OpenAI Sora interface prompting for "auronplay twitch stream, as viewed through a stream on a web browser, playthrough, gaming, let's play, live ...". The preview shows what looks like a desktop screenshot of a stream being watched, with elements from both the Twitch and YouTube interfaces mashed together. Cropped screenshot of the AI generated preview, showing the YouTube play button logo, but with the logo text reading "Twitch" instead of "YouTube".

I love going to pick a virtual instrument, and accidentally a song happens.

I would think cage-free eggs is a year round thing and not just a promo, but go off
Photo of a Hungry Jacks wrapper reading "Bacon & Egg Turkish Brekky Roll" and "with cage-free eggs" above the word "PROMO". The cage-free eggs statement is the same colour as the promo text, and are closer to each other than the product name.
