A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

I have a degree that I don't use at all, but I'm still glad I went because of all that it taught me. It expanded my mind and helped me become a better citizen. I learned critical thinking and was forced to grapple with challenging ideas. I also met some cool people whom I had awesome adventures with. You can't attach a dollar value to that, and it would be nonsensical to even try. This is one of the reasons why I think that college education should be free. It makes better citizens.
You sure sound like someone from the marketing department of a university. Making college "free" would need a heck of a lot of other changes to go along with it, or we will only have even more educated idiots than we do now.
Plenty of countries provide higher education at basically no cost to the public
Just because the US doesn't want to figure it out doesn't mean it isn't possible
I think we have different ideas of what "no cost" means, unless I'm incorrect and that university professors and support staff in Europe are volunteers.
You tax the rich and that pays for it
Actually taxing the rich would pay for quite a bit
@n7gifmdn @seitanic @NoMoreBread @USSMojave @SleveMcDichael @dditty @Anxietea Whats with all the downvotes? Comment seems pretty on point and relatively main stream. Maybe if you are in outside of North America your economics have never led to this problem.
