Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
Whenever some fellow Star Trek fan talks about how "Darmok" is unrealistic because they think nuanced meaning can't be derived from a simple phrase that requires broader context to understand, I just think of these emojis and memes in general. "Homer smiling, his finger raised." "Fry, his eyes narrowed." "Picard, face in hand." Once one knows the context then they become great ways to quickly convey complex thoughts.
Yeah, it's really just memes Audio Description Edition. Mofos act like they didn't spend their childhood repeating Family Guy and South Park quotes to each other.
that scene where troi is explaining to picard except instead of a mug with brown tea in it she should have used an early 21st century internet meme and asked 'well mr archeologist thefuck does this mean'
ngl I am pro-pictograms bc of this
