I’ve taken too many phishing tests. I have lost the power of clicking.

In your defense, it seems like just a link to a repository.

Bottom one doesn’t even have wings. Which is a super common way to illustrate it. It would’ve been a more interesting discussion of it did.

Nobody calling it Twitter is denying that the name changed. You’re seriously overthinking this and making it into something it’s not.
- Comment on Buffalo chicken 2 days ago:
You’re overthinking it. Think of the food buffalo chicken and which animal would make this. It’s still the same outcome, but if the food was called chicken buffalo for some reason then it’d still be the top.
- Comment on Buffalo chicken 2 days ago:
Top one. Dare I say obviously the top one.

See my first comment here if you’re confused what I mean by where I pointed them out.
And the “end game” is just clowning on a dumb thing Musk did. The rebranding specifically. That’s it. It’s not deeper than that.

I disagree that everyone still calling it Twitter are still using Twitter and doing it as a coping mechanism. Also I thought a couple of other things said weren’t the best for making your point but I already pointed them out.
- Comment on Taxes and nature 3 days ago:
Yes. They focus on there being different prefixes as if that implies there is a different mechanism going on, rather than gradual changes pushing organisms to be more and more different over extremely long periods of time.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 3 days ago:
I feel like it’s steadily increased over the last 6 months or so, but it’s hard to really say. And it’s still pretty tame.

They seem to equate people using the name Twitter with ignoring the problems with it post Musk buyout. Which isn’t the case.

Pump the brakes. Never said I support using Twitter. I was just saying you don’t have to “go to x.com” to get there. Which is an argument you used.

You need a better example. Edge was specifically not Internet Explorer. For quite a while, both existed. They were separate programs.
- Comment on some days i cant even 4 days ago:
You severely overestimate how long it takes to blow my driveway. Well under five minutes. I do it less than once a month. Maybe once a week in the fall, if even. I think the animal neighbors in my dirt are happy for the leaves.
- Comment on some days i cant even 4 days ago:
Hi, leaf pilled person here. I still have a leaf blower to get them off my driveway. IN FACT! I use a leaf blower to get them off the pavement and onto the ground where they’ll be beneficial. They’re still a useful piece of equipment.
- Comment on some days i cant even 4 days ago:
Yeah, it’s really crazy how much quieter the electric lawn tools are. It’s very noticeable.
- Comment on some days i cant even 4 days ago:
I’m so angry. I had leaves for two years and the city made me remove them like right during the nesting period. So it’s gonna be another two years before I see an increase in fireflies.
- Comment on I've recently turned into a blocker. 6 days ago:
I don’t ever want people I blocked to not be able to see my stuff when the account is public. It’s just a weird limitation and gives a false sense of security. Though not being able to directly reply to things would be nice.
- Comment on People regret buying Amazon smart displays after being bombarded with ads 1 week ago:
No, I don’t like mine and would probably literally cover the screen of it was in my eyesight. It’s unacceptable.
- Comment on People regret buying Amazon smart displays after being bombarded with ads 1 week ago:
I have an Echo Show, it shows a bunch of ads. It’s typically out of my view and I never use the video features. It has options to disable things and I thought I disabled them all but maybe they show ads now regardless. Because I’m definitely seeing ads. I only got one because I think it was bundled with something else or it was a gift.
- Comment on What time is it? 1 week ago:
Hey OP, I’ve seen a lot of tattoo artists recommend not getting QR codes tattooed because they fade and smear over time. Also, I don’t wanna sound overly dramatic, but with the current political landscape being to aggressively cut government programs, I wouldn’t trust a domain name being around forever. It may still be better for the code to be one you control (they’re like $12 a year) and set it to redirect there instead.

You’re much too young for the Internet. Please submit your SSN and parents’ credit card information.
- Comment on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without an online account 1 week ago:
Well, at least in 10, the username is something dumb and you can’t change it during creation (or everywhere easily after creation) when doing an online account. But linking after you create your account let you set it to whatever. So there may be people who are fine with online accounts but just want to set their usernames to whatever.

While drunkenness isn’t a blanket excuse for behavior, I don’t believe it’s inherently fair to say we are our true selves while drunk. Alcohol affects our reasoning, it doesn’t merely remove filters.
- Comment on If you lose your memories, are "you" dead? If a close relative/friend lose their memories, are they still "your relative/friend"? What the hell even is memory? How sentimental are you about memories? 1 week ago:
Well, you’d be interested to know that people with amnesia and cannot form new memories still become accustomed to people are are friendly around them despite not knowing who they are or why they feel friendly. It’s in a different part of the brain. Also some forms of muscle memory are literally stored in your muscles.
- Comment on Once again, looking for PS2 game suggestions! 1 week ago:
I loved it, and don’t take this as a dig because tons of games had this problem. It was one of the first games in played where environments were fully destructible. Trees? Nah. Trees are invulnerable to everything, including literal bunker buster bombs.

I think I need a band aid.
You want me to throw my shoe?

Jak and Daxter as well as Ratchet and Clank are both fun series. Jak was always weird in emulators for me, but maybe it works now.

I don’t think all women are perfect (and never said such), but this post is 100% a fake screenshot that’s misogynistic rage bait.
