I literally ragequit that captcha. Mine was showing floor plans and grainy “pictures” of a room asking me to pick which floor plan matched the picture from that perspective. I swear to you, none of them actually matched, progress reset constantly because I’d invariably pick the wrong one. It provoked such a primal rage in me, it felt like I was being gaslit into believing I was wrong when actually that captcha was cursed to hell and back. Thankfully my very patient partner managed to get through them for me and I only had to do it once to get the launcher to recognise my new pc.

Exactly, that’s what the little bin next to the toilet is for.

The point they’re making is that what you’re looking at in the picture isn’t NSFW. The title is deliberately misrepresenting an advert to make it seem NSFW, a classic shitposting tradition.

As a guy who used to be on bumble (met my partner there) I will say that any conversation that started with ‘hey how’s it going’ just went nowhere 100% of the time. It’s so easy to ask literally anything else. We don’t know each other, what’s the point in asking how it’s going if all you’ll ever get as a reply is either “good, and you?” which doesn’t break any ice and introduces a lull on the conversation 4 messages into the chat or if it’s an honest “pretty shit, actually” the tone of the conversation becomes immediately weird because you don’t know each other enough to pry into that.

Things you could ask:

• cuddled any cats lately?
• what made you smile today/this week?
• what song have you played on repeat lately?
• play any games lately? (depending on if they list games as their interest, most matches I got listed board games)

This way you’ll immediately either find common ground or find differences between your everyday experiences that you can talk about.

Literally did this 10 hours ago using this guide: https://lemmy.world/post/857701. You need an earlier version apk than APKpure has though (19.16.39). I was surprised with how easy it is tbh. Just had to find a decent site to get that particular apk from but that’s a simple Google search away.

Thanks for the link. I had it in mind that it was all over for vanced and revanced. Glad to hear it’s alive and well and even has its lemmy community!

I just don’t watch YouTube on my phone since losing YouTube vanced. What I liked about vanced was that I could be logged in. Do you have any personal recommendations for an alternative where I can still log in?

As you should. That movie deserves a bigger screen and decent sound setup. Watching it on a phone is criminal.

The fact that I could believe it right up until the moment they just drove off is telling…

Well, actually, exceptions can be important to lend blanket statements some nuance. Wait, I’m doing it right now, aren’t I?

To me, an ignorant person who has only begun to seriously question capitalism after being exposed to lemmy for about a year, this visual analogy seems to imply that capitalism and fascism are thought to be distinct in the eyes of the maker of this meme, though. I think the suggestion of having them both be homelander conveys a different message which seems to be the consensus here: they are different sides of the same coin.

Admittedly, I’m out of my element here but I’m enjoying the exposure.

The piece of shit app won’t even let me look at the picture in the post. Clicking on it just brings me to the comments again, in an infinite recursive loop.

The fuck happened to the Internet as a whole?! Google images refuse to display in full screen (using Firefox at least, I’m sure it’s intentional). I’ve deleted my Facebook account and any time a friend sends me a video hosted on FB it nags me about an account and refuses to allow me to unmute the video. News articles are perpetually behind paywalls.

I’m sick of it. Everything has been hollowed out and reduced to a drip fed stream of garbage. Christ, is this the fucking future? Can’t wait for AI to make it all even worse.

Sorry, I’m aware this is a Wendy’s. The door’s right there, yeah? I’ll see myself out.

Off the top of my head: right click the task and hit end process. That has literally never failed me. Back in windows XP it might sometimes not actually kill the process but then there was always the “kill process tree” button to fall back on.

So, nobody got paid to make that.

I ragequit the puzzles on the rockstar captcha. Incredibly infuriating. I was reminded of the famous greentext from way back predicting we’d have to drink a verification can of mountain dew and for a moment that seemed less insane than the reality of these impossible puzzles. Had to get someone to help me solve them after cooling off for a moment.

Dish rag sounds like it might be dirtier than an unwashed finger to be honest.

Purely from description I’m sure that they meant Neil deGrasse Tyson. No self describing scientist should ever be as smug and full of themself as he is.

I’m assuming that’s a side effect. Looking it up it seems to have started because the people of the time believed it reduced transmission of STDs and that it lessens the urge to masturbate.

Yeah, I don’t believe these megachurch pastors believe the word of God at all, or they wouldn’t be in that line of work.

Somehow in being an atheist I’m a more honest Christian than them in that I at least state outright that I’m not a Christian. That’s more honest than pretending to be Christian just to leverage people’s hopelessness to scam them into an even more dire and hopeless situation.

I had the exact same infuriating experience the first half hour of using my OLED panel but it turns out it was simply because Firefox doesn’t support hdr. You have to use edge or chrome for hdr content online. So now I use edge purely for YouTube and Firefox for everything else.
