Where did the “White People in Horror Movies Meme” start? I can’t find the source.
.
I DID find a good Twitter thread though;

So the board thinks I’m spamming? I get it. It was a lot of images.

But if it can be un-hidden…?

It could be a smartphone for nostalgic elderly people and/or hipsters that just looks like a landline.

A female Twitter friend of mine tweeted a version of that joke a couple of days ago (I won’t say those people ripped her off, but I remember her doing that joke before several years ago, so…) and got *inundated* with men explaining to her you can text landlines. Nearly 500 replies. “You Had One Job” posts it; no mansplainy responses.

Having just done a 3-day gaming con, two months after the biggest literary SF con in the world, I feel this one so much

I think there’s a distinction between a prescriptivist and somebody who uses correct grammar. That guy is just making his sign correct and unambiguous.
.
A prescriptivist will argue for a perceived superior style even when it makes no difference to comprehension. That’s different to* following a rule that is necessary for unambiguous comprehension, such as following the universally-accepted standard for distinguishing possessives from plurals.
.
* Note that a (British) prescriptivist would require “from” here; using “to” does not affect comprehension, however, and anybody who feels the need to challenge it is a prescriptivist. Or an American, who would want to say “than” because Americans are mad

We’re Mad?? you call crossing guards “lollipop ladies”

…but they carry big lollipops and they aren’t guarding a crossing, they are helping people across it. It makes perfect sense.

We have a lollipop man by our school, so I think we should respect equality and call them the lollipop people.

Although that sounds like a ’60s pop band.

Those lollipops don’t look edible.

And what is meant by “good”? What if I say “Duty to the virtue of G-dliness is good for the individual, by in the modern world, the only way for anyone to cultivate that is for Liberty to be good for the State. And for both to exist, knowledge is good, but us not The Good”? So I speak of individual goodness and of national goodness, and if a greater good and a lesser good. Nobody on that list even is quotes as making those distinctions.

Oh hey! This one’s off a German TV show. Funny that it made it into the memesphere.

That’s because those are one-sentence paraphrases. Shockingly, the philosophical theories of those scholars are rather more complex than such a one-sentence summary can accurately reflect.

The most ridiculous GunKata ever.

I couldn’t agree more.

I’d buy those.

I apparently get an email from Quora now and today it asked this question

Did Robin ever make Starfire pregnant?

I’m up for a Godzilla v Asterix final

The math checks out.

Looks like Ford v Superman for me.

Asterix beats Superman in the semi-final. Magic potion!

Oops, double post. Here is a picture of a flower to make up for it.

I actually read that in Skeletor’s voice.

Christ, it’s actually real.
