I wish i had that kind of self control 😂

Yes you’re absolutely right! That could absolutely happen.

I stand by my statement.

That’s not an expansion though. That’s just what it always has been(well before lemmy or even the idea of a memes board). The only filters are who is making the posts(few actually go through the effort), post activity (engagement, reposts, votes), and how you set your feed algorithm.

Setting your algorithm to “new” was always going to yield a lot of random thoughts regardless of platform while “active” or “hot” would filter out the low engagement stuff.

Limiting to “tied to established themes” or trying to set some form of overton window on what a meme is will only inhibit creativity, overwhelm moderation(what’s even established? Does it need to derive from something on kym? Reference it? Where to even start), and push people away.

That’s about 11 packs a year starting at 18. A pack a month. That won’t kill you at 38 🤣

Downvotes are for when i believe the argument is in bad faith to begin with, or feel the other will be unreceptive to criticism, and i have better things to do than internet argument.

substantial meaning from its overall positioning in Internet culture.

This suggests memes should in some way be mainstream?

New memes don’t start popular and often don’t have positioning in culture. Assuming a meme has potential, that is built by reposting and is ubiquitously cross-platform.

Yeah 😅 controlling anger is a survival tactic

Sound like a great relationship 😁

I’m glad people are enjoying their time and leisure, just leave some lanes open. I’d rather they enjoy their day instead of getting bumped while I’m on my way to work.

Hi-vis vest, hardhat, and a clipboard(optional but stylish). You can do practically anything.

I adopted the term “Day walkers” to refer to people who walk too slow, take up too much space, or are otherwise unaware in walking areas.

An example would be a group walking in one direction side by side taking the whole path width. Another would be people standing at the top or bottom of an escalator.

I think it’s nonsense to anyone who isn’t in the know but easily figured out.

I’m pretty sure anyone can suck ass loudly but you’re right the banks would probably make the most noise about it.

I haven’t generalized anything beyond the extents of

1. my area geographically
2. The groups in my area which i interact with
3. An individuals weight within a community over time.

I have not said it’s impossible to do for me and have made no claim on the ability for others to do it.

I’ll give you so much as i didn’t append “for me” or “in my situation” to every sentence, but the statements lay within the context provided in the rest of the post.

I’m not denying it’s technically feasible. I do deny learned helplessness. I have limited energy in life. Using it on making a change I’m not passionate about is a recipe for severe burnout. If i get more involved and find there’s sentiment towards a migration away from FB then I’d spend some energy on building and facilitating that. Barging in and making demands isn’t an effective way to build community. You can introduce ideas and develop them over time to show that it comes from care for and dedication to the org.

So yeah it’s unrealistic on the time scales I’m concerned with.

Shrooms or acid at that point.

Though cookies with butter or rso may be a good choice.

Consent is far and away the biggest concern here.

The benzene produced in a combustion temperature and oxygen rich environment like an open fireplace would immediately burn into CO/2 and water. That warning applies to vaporizers. Even then you’re probably more exposed to benzene fueling up at a gas station. That said I agree you should avoid it where you can especially when it’s getting shot straight into your lungs.

Make sure to use home brew so you know it’s unpasteurized. You want that raw beer.

resorting to going to school instead of looking for work

I think they looked for work before considering more debt.

It doesn’t the ship through the universe, but the universe around it!
