Perhaps the real right place for the sticker was the drawer all along?

Exactly. Nobody can author, own, or “steal” a joke, a proverb, a riddle, a folk tale, a nursery rhyme, graffiti… Memes are just the digital equivalent of such cultural artefacts.

Nice! I’ll… save this meme.

Sorry for this slightly random remark, but fuck whoever unironically came up with concept of “stealing” memes.

No.

They are people just like you and me.

No, they mean that they’re literally not humans, but AI.

You don’t get it man, this comic is actually a fairly sophisticated reference to C&H’s classic character, the Purple-Shirted Eye-Stabber.

leftists: body shaming is bad

also leftists(?):

Have you actually looked at that list? It’s incredibly inconsistent and chaotic. “Story structure” is not some objective universally measurable thing in the first place, and nobody in their right mind would claim that originality can be realised only in story structure.

Overall this is a weird and pointless topic that you picked to argue about.

So they take the risk of watching a movie that is somehow familiar to them ahead of watching it, and that might also be bad.

Structure purist, ingredient neutral: wolves are bees.

Here’s an another uncomfortable statistic: most of ASOIAF was published before 9/11.

Personally I gave up after AFFC, which I read around a decade ago. The quality of writing had plummeted, and it was increasingly obvious the series is going to take way too long to be finished.

The guy should just give up, relive himself of the duty and the audiences of the frustration, and spend his remaining years peacefully writing Dunk and Egg stories.

That’s actually way more interesting than the stupid outrage that the original tweet is trying to stoke.

The meme doesn’t really reflect reality, it’s just a weirdly remixed right-wing meme. Climate change denialists don’t ask for sources as they dislike them in general (Youtube videos and huffing your own farts is quite enough for them), they will just say the MSM has implanted the snow propaganda into your brain.

clbottomt when the chtopt shows up [imagine this as that popular GIF meme]

Admittedly that sort of censoring has been used online since forever. Stuff like “pr0n”, etc.

Are you a bot? Or just lazy?

I am a bot. Beep boop.

Also, the first woman? Props to her but I’m quite surprised no one else has done that

Yeah, it’s indeed false. I didn’t even research it actively, but Wilson on her Twitter profile mentioned an Italian translator who translated Homer years before Wilson.

(To be sure, I just checked Italian Wikipedia. It was Giovanna Bemporad, her translation was published in 1970.)

it is quite literally named the “land of the blacks” after all that is what Egypt means

Egypt is from Greek and definitely doesn’t mean that. The Egyptian endonym was kmt (traditionally pronounced as kemet), which is interpreted as “black land” (km means “black”, -t is a nominal suffix, so it might be translated as black-ness, not at all “quite literally land of the blacks”), most likely referring to the fertile black soil around the Nile river. Trying to interpret that as “land of the blacks” should be suspicious already due to the fact people would hardly name themselves after their most ordinary physical characteristic; the Egyptians might call themselves black only if they were surrounded by non-black people and could view that as their own special characteristic, but they certainly neighboured and had contact with black peoples. And either way one has to wonder if the ancient views of white and black skin were meaningfully comparable to modern western ones. On the other hand, the fertile black soil most certainly is a differentia specifica of the settled Egyptian land that is surrounded by a desert.

What I find odd is that the message that they actually left on the site has nothing to do with Palestine, just childish “lol btfo” sort of message. So I wouldn’t be surprised if these guys aren’t the ones who actually did it, and it’s merely a false flag to make pro-Palestinian protesters look like idiotic assholes.

And yet you’ve created this very Lemmy instance we’re posting on. Curious.
