So long, and thanks for all the fish! :-P

What do you mean?

Now that's true love:-D.

Alright, I will sacrifice some of my karma for this, if it helps:-).

The meme is trying to wrangle the premise that "large corporations are (most often) bad" (which ofc is true:-P) into a humorous statement that engineers in the state of Texas have limited opportunities to find jobs.

The problem is that it messes up all the details - e.g. if you have ever heard of GameStop, Dell, or Texas Instruments (just to name 3) they all have their headquarters in Texas, plus numerous top tech companies have branches there like Samsung. A 5s Google search shows many, MANY more.

For extra context: moving between states is nothing at all like moving between countries - and e.g. the state of California has a GDP comparable to Germany - plus there are many jobs in the state of Texas for both Engineers and also non-Engineers, especially if someone is willing to make less money in exchange for other QoL factors (like living closer to family?) so... in short, it is not your fault for not understanding this meme.:-)

Though there must be just enough of something in it for it to have gotten this many upvotes, in spite of all that. As someone who hasn't lived in Texas for many years, I must be on the outside looking in now and thus don't get it:-P.

Gulp...

Also, just for fun, the prequel:

Sharing skibidi toilet with everyone across the Fediverse - I've been doing my part! :-P (few have ever heard of it, even fewer like it, none understand it -> it's perfect art!:-D)

Ngl, this sounds like the premise to a GREAT horror show, like American Horror Story. :-P

It's funnier when you try to SysCallAndDie() :-P

(that's a real thing in perl btw - I guess that function didn't get the memo)

Wasn't I supposed to ask myself a question!? I wonder what it could possibly be? :-P

I'm in this meme and I don't like it. I float around depending on what thought crosses the mind of the person above me most recently, so I've long since decided to stop caring about such "minor details" :-(.

You just made me a offer I can't refuse. I go now to sleep with the fishes...

*ifn't*

Oh dear Lord what have I done!? :-P
