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.

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.

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.

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.
