Jfc. Thank gods my anti-intellectual "all scientists are paid lackeys of our corrupt government" family members don't see this shit. Holy hell is this an embarrassing read.

I don't know what's going on and maybe it's just really grassroots or something. Just, be safe out there folks.
You can always tell when it's AI because there's something a little off about the hands
Perfect meme to describe what's happening. Yes, fedi has some UX issues and is not very beginner friendly.
But also, people have gotten so used to being spoonfed content from an algorithm that tells them what they want to see that they can't handle the prospect of "build your own algorithm"
Corpo-curated-content is a hard drug and most people don't realize that they have an addiction.
Chaotic war-crime: dog-ear where you make the fold exactly big enough so it points to the line you left off on.
Yes I did this sometimes as a kid and I still feel bad for the librarians who had to see the devastation I wrought.
100% on your side. But careful not to set yourself up for the same legit criticism that we throw at R's. Whataboutism.
edit: but also that would be a pretty great meme, tbf
It's a horrendous thing. To see a person killed before their time when they didn't have to die. Just like what happens to thousands of Americans each year who are denied coverage. If we're actually honest with ourselves, the only reason this one is seen as a tragedy by politicians and CEOs is that there was no profit to be had in it.
edit: spelling
Ignoring the walled off stuff, can you ELI5 why pressurized vs not changes things and how so?
Lol yeah... I know it's all fucked. Only way I've found to not let it completely overwhelm me with resignation or impotent rage is to look for those little "malicious compliance" opportunities. Even if only for joking around about. They're getting rarer and harder to find though. Big sigh.

The system works
Classic George Carlin bit. Everybody going faster than you is a maniac and everybody going slower than you is an idiot.

The folks saying that this is ablesist. I hear you and I think I mostly agree. But this is one I kind of struggle on. Which "haha person is stupid" kinds of things are making fun of people who are mentally handicapped? And which ones are just making fun of people for being plain old stupid? Or is it ablesist to say that a person behaving stupidly is stupid?
Like, if you're making a meme and want to portray the anti-vaxer or nazi or whatever as being stupid or cruel or whatever, how do you do that without being ablesist? ("Inteligence is biological", "psychopathy is a disease", etc)
edit: oh whoops. And fuck tankies. Forgot to add that
