i just find it hilarious! i didn’t mean that to contradict or try to correct you lol, i apologIze if my tone was off

it IS effectively the same poster, which makes it more amusing to me that the differences are there

like if you look at the shape of the pants for example. it is definitely the same base image underneath the details

okay but wait, they’re not even exact

but at the same time they are clearly related, it looks like most of the same shapes are there, but yours has a hair flip and a collared over shirt

i am curious why there are variations on the same image

Comedy can be and is used to make real criticisms of the world and various institutions. “It’s just a joke” is one of the most common lies.

People can laugh at the joke, or disagree with the criticism it communicates, or both, or neither.

But having and exercising critical thinking skills when engaging with memes in a meme community full of scholars and academics is exactly what I would expect.

x = 5/9 is not 9/9. 5/9 = .55555…

You’re proving that 0.555… equals 5/9 (which it does), not that it equals 1 (which it doesn’t).

It’s absolutely not the same result as x = 0.999… as you claim.

Yeah, it sucks, but there’s some things you just have to accept.

This reminds me of a certain CEO who said gamers need to “get comfortable not owning games” so that subscription models can grow. I can imagine so, so many gamers in a couple years saying this sentence about that and so many more new exploitative practices.

The truth is, we don’t need to accept it. They need us to accept it so they can get away with it.

Pushback is crucial.
