As a martian it is easier to appear human and blend in by discussing politics while I prepare the invasion conditions for earthlings to have their brains harvested. Not sure why everyone else does though.

Find the answer on reddit, post here in another form. Rinse repeat.

this is how WW3 starts isn’t it

Agreed, so much is stacked against us, these numbers show we are serious about making alternative communities.

This meme hits like a laser guided munition.

Beat me to it! thank you!

Mastodon and similar are fantastic.

They don’t even have to be anything complicated to be awesome, just having Mastodon and other microblogging services as a basis for orienting people on the Fediverse is an underappreciated gem we should be thankful for whether you spend most of your time on reddit-likes or twitter-likes here on the Fediverse.

hmm I can definitely do this with my Supernote A5 eink tablet.

Both Inkscape and Gimp can open multipage pdfs as seperate pages too… yeah that is directly editing though.

Na, fuck everyone using autocorrect these days, it makes text conversations so stilted, hard to read and passive aggressive feeling.

We threw away emotional nuance in texting because of the people who just find it annoying not to text in proper english.

Slang and abbreviations are expressions of context and familiarity which are necessary for conversation that isn’t purely transactionary in nature.

gee whiz can’t we find a moderate middle ground between these two extremist radical viewpoints?

China’s writing the playbook.

and the US is selling them the apparatus to do so

(There is a clear parallel to the Luddites here, who were skilled technicians and clothmakers who weren’t worried about technology surpassing them, but the way factory owners used it to make cheaper, lower-quality goods that drove down prices.)

I think we need to start putting this on billboards.

My point is about the conceptual framing of a ladder leading to a narrow frame of view about evolution, not that this particular meme is portraying itself literally as an evolutionary ladder.
