I remember some people joking about the drop in activity when my kid was born last summer and I was offline for a while. Lol

There’s someone who goes by “IRL Loading Screens” who makes these. They’re on reddit, X, IG, etc.

I try to save them when I see them, however I think that was the last one in my “memes for lemmy” folder for the time being.

Yeah, I figure it’s good etiquette to leave a note any time I edit something, especially if it already has conversation about it in the comments.

Not that I’m aware of, but here it is if you’re curious.

I know… It’s super obvious, but I guess I had only gotten a sense of the pic without looking closely.

So it’s begun.

Wow, I need to read this.

They’ll hit it with one of these, and then we’ll be the out of touch ones for thinking it’s unnecessary.

“Oh, you used summons? Yikes.”

This wasn’t my OC, and I’m embarrassed that I didn’t notice the original image was AI - just thought it was poor quality. I’ve edited the meme to swap out a real painting of sailors.

Parents of a 3 month old who aren’t quite sure what day/week/month it is.

“Freestyle” chess (aka “960” or “Fischer Random”) has gained a lot of popularity lately. Big tournaments with big funding, spearheaded by Magnus Carlson.

Right?! They were like Twilight Zone episodes, but in space.

Sausage is often sold in links, so it’s a play on words.

You’re probably right. I bet I’m being US-centric to just assume everyone there values free speech/expression with the same cultural intensity.

What is happening in the UK in the last year or so? I keep seeing crazy headlines like this every so often.

The online safety act requiring ID, police showing up at old people’s houses for their Facebook/twitter posts, or that one time someone suggested they would try to extradite Americans for the same thing. Where is this coming from all of a sudden?

It was “Itchy & Scratchy & Marge”, S2E9

I dealt with something similar with Discord once. It was infuriating. These companies often contract out this type of responsibility, and nobody has any incentive to care or spend any time with any individual case, so you can just be completely cut off.
