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.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

MODERATORS
Some people like the sound of their own voice. Others do it to destress. They aren't doing it out of maliciousness but holy fuck be upfront about not wanting to hear more or stop complaining.
Like seriously "waaah waaah people are too socially inept to take a hint" yet then the same people are too socially inept to be upfront
Damn that's crazy
There is literally no way to be upfront about communicating 'I have no interest in what you are saying and wish you would stop talking' without coming off like an asshole and/or hurting their feelings most of the time.
How are you supposed to be upfront about something like that without coming off as rude?
Many people fail to understand that hinting isn't communicating, it's expecting the other person to do the heavy lifting in a relationship (friend or otherwise) for you.
You aren't clever, or somehow above the friend, for making hints and resenting the person for not shutting up when they miss them. You're just fucking inept at communicating.
Please tell us how you can be upfront about this topic without sounding like an asshole, since you're so socially apt.
Damn that's crazy
I’d rather just not piss off the guy that I have to work with 40 hours a week and just move through life as easily as possible.
I usually take my frustration out by hoping they would get killed in a car wreck or something, just anything to save me from more misery.
