For when you need a laugh!
The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!
But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.

I think you have not understood me when I explicitly agreed with the point - twice in the same post.
What did you even "research" (and why/how was that new to you)?
Ok try not to trip over backpedaling there.
You said you cringed at comparing the US to Canada because it's the same shade of grey. It's not. That's what we're talking about, it doesn't matter that you agree with the post in general.
I didn't need to research, because I'm not an ignorant idiot who speaks about countries they know nothing about. You on the other hand, could have done some research before making shit up. There's literally a 20 minute educational video in my link, watch it, that's considered researching this information..
Even if not in direct comparison, they aren't the same shade of grey at all. Canada is comparable to Europe, not the US. And yes they are all late stage capitalistic nations, congrats on that astute observation. It doesn't mean you aren't wrong
Side topic: I find it very interesting that mods will not act against toxic comments like these that obviously use ad hominem but will remove a lot of comments that are critical of ideas that the mods support simply for existing. Go figure.
No, no, the redditor has got a point, I am not disputing the fact that I'm an idiot at all.
(But yes about that you said. Then again I don't know much about mod tools, like if there is word flagging, or even how many mods there are.)
And you're using "the redditor" not as a toxic ad hominem right?
I'm not a redditor anymore, i left the very day RIF stopped working.
It was your (I guess by your judgement toxic) nickname here ... @RedditWanderer@lemmy.world ... that I was referring to.
Which is totally not relevant to the conversation, which is what an ad hominem is, which is what the other person was saying. You only said "the redditor" as an insult.
Yes my name has reddit in it, but it also has wanderer lol, because i have been wandering since. I wouldn't expect you to get it though.
