Your comment reads as if Israel continuing to starve Palestinians was absolutely unavoidable since 1947.

Think that’s where we differ though - I don’t think the artist is complaining, just observing. If my significant other has a quirk and I identify it even in meme format, that doesn’t mean I’m demonising them no? Some of my friends who are women complain about when I offer solutions to problems they just want to rant about so I related to this in a way - imo that’s not a bad thing, just different and perfectly valid. My GF however likes when I give her inputs on how to handle situations. Both are fine, and I actually preferred my female friends telling me they don’t like it because then I could ask my girlfriend or even just other friends (men and women) “by the way, do you like when I offer solutions or would you prefer me to just listen?” The difference between this and boomer humour is the latter would then go onto say “that’s why I hate my wife” lol.

I didn’t intepret this as “bad”?

idk if i’m missing something but i use connect and this is what it does on the “communities” tab

Nothing matters 😔

Gets easier after day 7 trust me

Liberals and leftists exist elsewhere outside America. There is nothing about the original post that yells exclusivity to America.

Everything has something to do with politics. People saying “stop shoving politics into everything” just don’t like to he confronted with that fact, when some people are forced to confront that fact outside of political discourse every day. There are literally billions of people in poverty around the world due to the direct actions of some of the most powerful governments the world has ever seen. But you and a few people could not possibly even bear seeing a meme talking about Leftists and Liberals because that’s too political hahaha what the fuck.

I find posts like this so confusing. Does politics, i.e.the policies organisations across the world implement to actively change the way the masses live not directly or indirectly affect your life? Whenever someone says something like this I just assume you’re not within a marginalised group because there’s no way you’d make an enlightened centrist post like this otherwise.

Seeing as this is useful for allergens, is this useful for atopy un general?

my man

UK, early 20s, can and do drive manual.

The UK has a separate driving license for auto and manuals. If you pass your test with an automatic car, you get an automatic only license. If you pass eith a manual car you get a licence to drive both types, so most people decide to drive manual (although there is a slow increase of people getting auto only licenses). I prefer manual because they’re more fun to drive in my opinion.

Bipolar?

Well that’s not true because most memes on Twitter were made directly on the platform. Reddit memes were extremely dry in comparison to Twitter’s.

Twitter culture (depending on what parts of twitter you were on) was really hard to explain. Unless you used it and really knew how to, you don’t really get the benefit from it. Its feed structure combine with post length and algorith meant that it was really easy for you to know what other people were saying about things going on right now (reality shows, football matches etc). It also made searching for news so easy (due to its Trending feature), so you were kept in the loop about things.

The meme culture of Twitter was also very unique. I can say with absolute confidence that Twitter memes were bomb (before Musk ruined it). Way better than any memes I’d come across on Reddit or Lemmy so far.

The only problem is you had to take Twitter in small doses. Stan culture and cyber-bullying culture were real negatives of Twitter. Certain people on that app were unhinged and that went unchecked because of how echo-chambers were set by the algorithm. You really had to check yoursel to make sure you weren’t being corrupted, especially because cyber-bullying was so normalised there (at least in my experience).

Look, I’m just as communist as the next guy on Lemmy but I don’t get how this is funny or an imitable element of culture. This is literally just your opinion.

How is this a meme?

I am said demographic, I just happened to use RiF before it got axed.

What about when/if the fediverse becomes mainstream? Sure, YOU wouldn’t use threads but plenty of people will.
