For the sake of recap what has happened so far if you are not caught up, because US news isn’t making a lot of effort to cover this with significant air time, is there was a terrorist attack from Pakistan killing 28. There was a retaliatory Indian air strike in Pakistan killing 31 that India says was targeted. Pakistan disputes this. Pakistan has struck back with artillery shelling of the Indian side of Kashmir, killing 13.

Honestly, I thought the back and forth terror attacks had been going on for years already. I thought the only reason we’d heard about them the last time was because some western tourists got caught up in it.

Is this a new thing?

Meanwhile, guy who can’t read: that sign can’t stop me!

I recognize this artist, but I don’t remember their name.

Is that how it works? I thought content is only hosted on the original server, and each instance only shows a temporary copy at best.

If every instance is duplicating the content of every other instance, wouldn’t they crumble under the hosting costs in… hours?

Serious: how would you federate something like mangadex?

There needs to be a mandatory parenting training course if you’re expecting a child.

I like this in theory. But I know in practice some idiots will always manage to get their hands on the curriculum.

Starting to sound like you do think there’s a stringent definition of what a meme is.

There is no stringent definition of what a meme is or can be

Then by my personal definition (not Merriam whatever), it doesn’t feel like a meme.

If it’s a meme to you, that’s fine, too.

A screenshot of the headline of a satirical article (if it exists).

Which is fine.

I just don’t think it’s a meme.

By that point, big tech will have created the Torment Nexus, and half the country take out Klarna loans so they can own the libs with it.

Is this even a meme?

Small, local communist Ws would enable more state and national communist Ws.

“Well, that co-op just outside of downtown is doing fine. Molly’s daughter worked there when she was in high school and said it was the best job she ever had. I guess communists can do some things right.”

is an improvement over

“I’ve never met a communist, but I know they’re all stupid and evil. I’m going to vote against anything with the word socialist or communist next to it because [media personality] told me so.”
