Yup, totally right. Don't have much experience with Temple Run and its clones, but Flappy Bird fits the bill. The fact that there's only a couple games that come to mind reinforces the novelty of it happening again with Wordle tho

I've also begun to thing of Wordle as a meme. I know virtually anything could be framed as a meme, but there's specific aspects of Wordle and its rise in popularity that make it a particularly apt description. Its viral spread was

If you care to make a distinction between the results of a six-year-old using Facebook's products vs. using Fisher Price's products, then, yes, "lure" might be appropriate for one context and not the other.

Not a Facebook user, but I definitely appreciate services providing paid ad-free versions of their services. YouTube premium comes to mind. Sure, Google is still tracking me as best they can, but at least I don't have to deal with the

A practical reality that dawned on me one day has changed my perspective on this situation a bit: it's the fact that I no longer have my VHS or cassette tapes. I got rid of them at some point. So the idea that purchases of physical med

The one place that 1Password doesn't meet my needs is in ChromeOS. The browser plugin requires the machine you're on to have the 1Password app running in the background, which is how it gets its data from the local (and synced) va

Your idea that men and Jews are equivalently oppressed, to the point where you seem to believe it is invalid to point out that these situations are different and require different responses, is psychotic and incredibly toxic, and I will not

Sure, but can you at least recognize that conflating what's happening here to men (an internet campaign that has no signs of manifesting in the real world in any significant way) vs. what Jews have experienced is not a useful thing to

But the difference is the context of history, right? While I definitely don't advocate for any "killallmen" stuff, I can recognize the difference between Jews, who were the actual target of a real genocide in which millions d

It's recently occurred to me that the prolificness of the 3.5mm audio connector is something to revere. Wikipedia tells that it's been around since 1964 , with its fame really coming with the Walkman in 1979. So, a connector intr

(Sorry for the late reply) I'm confused. When you say "but if it isn't for the reasons above, I don't know why people dislike [milk]," how do you know that these complaints you've heard aren't for one of
